  • Better Health: Mold will reduce the chance that anybody exposed to it may have health issues.

8 Prevention Tips

To combat mold is to prevent it from growing. Here are 8 tips you can follow:

#1 Reduce Indoor Humidity Levels

Reduce the home’s high humidity levels so that mold won’t have a chance to grow. Maintain a 30% to 60% humidity level in your building. To determine the humidity levels in a space, use a hygrometer , which is easily accessible at most hardware stores. We recommend using a dehumidifier to get the best results.

#2 Utilize Your HVAC

Air conditioning units and HVAC systems may help prevent the growth of mold by reducing interior humidity levels. Make sure that your HVAC system is regularly maintained, and that the air filters are changed, to prevent the spread of mold spores.

#3 Dry Damp Areas

Dry damp areas right once since mold may start to form 24 to 48 hours after water damage. Quickly dry any moist areas to avoid the formation of mold. If there is a leak or flooding, be careful to fix the problem at the source.

#4 Use Exhaust Fans

Using exhaust fans and dehumidifiers can help prevent mold growth by reducing moisture levels in the air. This can lead to a healthier and safer living environment, while also helping to protect your property from the damaging effects of mold.

#5 Keep Your HVAC Cleaned

It’s vital to clean and maintain your air conditioner because, if neglected, it could become a haven for mold and mildew. Make sure to regularly clean and maintain your air conditioner to prevent the growth of mold.

#6 Don’t Neglect Leaks

Look for leaks because they may cause moisture to build up and the growth of mold. Check for leaks frequently in your plumbing, roof, and windows.

#7 Use Mold-Resistant Materials

In wet spaces like bathrooms and kitchens, use mold-resistant drywall, paint, and ceiling tiles.

#8 Take Action

If you suspect that you have a mold problem in your home, act quickly to address it. Despite being costly and time-consuming, mold cleanup is essential to prevent further damage and health issues.
