Prevent Mold In Your Home
The main things mold needs to grow in a home are organic materials to feed on and moisture. In houses there are always plenty of organic materials for mold to live on such as wood, drywall and various other building materials. Moisture, however, can be controlled for the most part so keeping the moisture in your home low is the best way to prevent mold growth.
Prevent Mold by Preventing Moisture-If you know of any leaks in your home you should fix them without delay. You might need to inspect your home to find any water leaks you didn’t know about. Most molds need only 24 to 48 hours of moisture to begin to grow. Therefore if a suitable material in your home is wet for more than 24 hours then you run the risk of mold starting to grow.
Prevent Mold by Preventing Condensation-Condensation is another cause of moisture. Condensation forms on cold surfaces when water vapor in the air cools and becomes liquid. Often you’ll see condensation on metal pipes, concrete walls, water tanks and windows. One way to reduce condensation is to keep the temperature warmer in rooms. For example, by installing insulation. You can also insulate the surfaces themselves such as putting coverings over metal pipes. You’ll also have less condensation occurring if you keep the humidity in your home low.
Prevent Mold by Reducing Humidity– The best way to keep humidity low in your home is through ventilation. Open the windows during the day and close your windows when it is raining. This should help lower the humidity. Using a dehumidifier also reduces the humidity level.
