Eliminate mold and mildew from ruining your humble abode.
Once mold and mildew start to proliferate in your home, it’s tough to keep them from becoming a significant problem. While mold spores naturally exist in the air that we breathe every day, they can become a massive problem when they multiply in areas of your home. Thankfully, there are numerous practical and straightforward ways that you can keep mold and mildew out of your home.
What Are The Causes?
Before you can prevent mold and mildew from becoming a problem, you need to understand the causes. Wherever there is moisture lingering in your home, there is a chance of mold or mildew becoming a problem. The kitchen, bathroom, and basement are the most common places for mold growth to occur. Where does interior moisture come from?
- Flooding
- Sewage problems
- Roof leaks or plumbing problems
- High levels of humidity
- A damp basement or crawl-space beneath the home
- A tub or sink overflow
What Happens When Mold Growth Occurs?
Mold can cause structural damage to any part of your home if it is allowed to continue growing. Mold can cause wood rot, furniture damage, and decay. There are also many potential implications to human health, as exposure to mildew and mold leads to allergic reactions, headaches, asthma flare-ups, and respiratory problems. The more mold you are exposed to and the longer the period of time you are exposed to it for, the more likely you are to have health problems.
How To Keep Mold And Mildew Away
To control the mold spores in your home and prevent mold and mildew:
- Repair moisture problems before they linger
- Add ventilation to your home to help keep the air moving
- Use a dehumidifier in humid areas of your home like the kitchen or the bathroom
- Run your air conditioner to help move hot and humid air out of the house
- Clean your home on a regular basis to remove mold spores from surfaces
