Reducing your risk of developing mold by eliminating excess moisture from your home.
There are hundreds of thousands of various mold all around us. In fact, there are good kinds of mold, like those associated with making cheese and yogurt. However, there are also dangerous and severely harmful molds that can lurk in our homes, causing health problems for you and your family. While molds are good at surviving in various conditions, the dangerous, black molds that can be deadly breed in moist environments. As a result, preventing mold growth begins with eliminating any excess moisture from entering your home. Here are just some helpful tips to get your home to be mold free!
Check For Any And All Cracks
One of the biggest ways that excess moisture invades your home is through unnoticed cracks. In fact, the foundation of your home is notorious for being a primary access route for any excess moisture to seep in. As a result, conducting inspections in and out of your home for any possible cracks is a great way to see if there is something that could be helping to create the perfect environment for mold to grow.
Check For Any And All Leaks
Another common way for excess moisture to seep through your home is via leaky pipes. In fact, while it may seem cost-effective to just fix up a leak yourself, some instances may require the services of a professional. As a result, if the leak is severe or is associated with a pipe that is not readily accessible, finding a professional to help fix the leaky pipe might just be the best solution to avoid any mold from starting to grow!
Conduct Humidity Level Tests
Investing in a humidistat might be an excellent tool, especially for those living in high humidity environments. In fact, if you begin to notice that your home’s humidity levels are above sixty percent (60%) for several days in a row, it may be time to check for any potential mold growth and seek the assistance of a professional mold remediation company like Environmental Consulting & Contracting Group!
