Mold appears after you’ve experienced any kind of water damage inside your house. If left untreated, mold can quickly turn into a more lethal toxin, known as black mold. The health consequences are severe, and it can lead to death in certain cases. It’s important that you get more familiar with the health facts associated with toxic mold. The more you learn about toxic mold, the more you will understand what to do to prevent it from spreading throughout your house. Always call a professional mold removal expert to safely and quickly rid your home of all toxic mold, and ensure you’re breathing clean, fresh air. Here are a few helpful tips on how you can prevent mold from growing at an early stage, before it gets the chance to spread:
- Check your home for signs of moisture and molds.
- Find out if water is coming in from the outside and if substantial moisture is produced inside the home.
- Regularly check the condition of the roof and exterior finish for any places where water might enter.
- Fix any water leaks promptly. Insulation issues can easily allow mold to slowly grow within your house. It’s always important to consult with a professional that can quickly fix the leak or problem.
- Measure how much moisture is in the air. To find the relative humidity in your home, you’ll need a hygrometer. You can buy one at a hardware store or electronics store. A hygrometer costs from $10 to $60. Relative humidity in the home should be under 45 per cent in the winter (or lower to avoid condensation on windows). If necessary, use a dehumidifier to lower the relative humidity.
- Reduce the amount of stored materials, especially items that are no longer used. Molds grow on fabrics, paper, wood and practically anything that collects dust and holds moisture.
- Clean and maintain your home regularly. Always make sure that your home is kept clean to avoid any potential mold or mildew buildup.
