Yes, any water that gets into a home can cause a mold problem. Molds grow at different temperatures, but most any normal indoor temperature is sufficiently warm for mold to grow. A good mold inspector will look for moisture intrusion and can perform the proper testing to determine if there is an indoor mold problem in a home.

I was showing some older homes in the Fairway area and they had a lot of ice dams in the gutters which was causing water infiltration. I expect that could turn into mold when the weather warms up, correct? How warm does it need to be for mold to start growing inside a wall or attic?

It’s pretty scary since the consequences of black mold can sometimes lead to death.
