Mold Risks in North County San Diego – A Local Homeowner’s Guide

Why North County San Diego Homes Are Prone to Mold

From Oceanside’s oceanfront condos to Fallbrook’s rural estates, mold is a silent threat in North County due to:

- Marine layer humidity (especially in Carlsbad & Encinitas).

- Older construction (many homes lack modern vapor barriers).

- Seasonal rains causing leaks in San Marcos’s tract homes.

🛡️ How to Protect Your Home

1. Dehumidify – Keep indoor humidity below 55% (critical in Del Mar & Solana Beach).
2. Inspect Annually – Especially in Fallbrook’s rainy season.
3. Upgrade Ventilation – Many Oceanside & Encinitas homes need better attic fans.
