Mold Prevention Tips

8/18/2020 (Permalink)

Mold is a common household problem, and certainly an unwelcome one. Mold develops in warm, damp environments that have little/no air flow. The most common location to find mold growth is your shower or bathroom, but it is possible for mold to grow anywhere in your home. Other common locations include the kitchen, laundry area and crawlspace.

If water damage occurs in your home, be sure clean up occurs quickly. Using air conditioners during humid seasons and exhaust fans in the kitchen can help prevent mold from growing.

Also, it is a great idea to monitor moisture at the most common culprits. This includes checking for leaks around the toilet, tub, refrigerator, kitchen sink, and washer. Check air conditioner drip pans, any where you know condensation can build and ensure crawl spaces are well ventilated.
