Preventing mold starts with your home’s construction!
When building a new home, it is important to consider the type of materials you’ll be using. In fact, knowing which materials are better at reducing your mold risk when compared to others is an essential part of any new home construction. As a result, a number of homebuilders are cultivating new ideas and using new products that assist in eliminating the risk of your home developing mold. Here are just a few important things that contractors take into consideration when starting a new build.
An Excellent Construction Site
The first step in any new building project is finding the proper construction site for the build. In fact, if a home is built in an area that is prone to heavy water it can be the single cause of mold growth in your home. Therefore, allowing your contractor to build your new home in a location that has a variety of drainage systems in place to reduce any standing water that may accumulate is essential. In addition, eliminating any landscaping around your new home is another great way to reduce the moisture in your home.
Land Drainage And Grading
Every home building site should be properly drained and graded. In fact, failing to do so can lead to severe consequences in the long run. When a construction site undergoes grading and sloping when it rains or snows, the excess moisture will flow away from the foundation of your home, preventing any excess moisture from coming into your humble abode causing mold to form.
Invest In Damp-Proofing
Another easy solution that can be done when you begin to build your home is damp-proofing. In fact, damp-proofing really is just the application of a specific coating that is put on the foundation wall that ends up sitting below grade. As a result, using a high-quality material prevents excess moisture from creeping into the foundation of your home.
