How to Prevent Mold
- Be sure your home or building has enough ventilation. Be sure all exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom, along with your clothes dryer, are vented to the outside.
- Fix any leaks in your home or building's roof, walls, or plumbing so mold does not have moisture to grow. If your home or building has been damaged by water, call a restoration expert (like the ones at ServiceMaster by Disaster Relief) to clean and dry the building thoroughly within 24-48 hours.
- Remove or replace any carpets or upholstery that have been soaked and can't be dried promptly. Also, avoid using carpeting in the bathroom, basement, and other areas of your home that may be susceptible to moisture.
Mold Structural Damage
Structural Damage Mold gradually destroys the things it grows on and can grow anywhere, including inside:
- Foundations, roofing & HVAC systems
- Drywall, gutters, furnishings & more
Mold Structural Damage
- Headaches
- Breathing difficulties
- Persistent cough or cold symptoms
- Burning or irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or lungs
- Asthma attacks
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
- Skin irritation
- Allergic reactions
- Opportunistic infections in immune-compromised individuals
Molds, like most fungi, break down plant and animal matter in the environment. They can grow almost anywhere there is moisture and organic material such as in soil, on foods and plants, and in people’s homes. To reproduce, molds release spores, which can spread through the air, water, or on animals.
Signs of Mold
- Slow leaks in plumbing pipes or appliances (dishwasher, toilet, garbage disposal) that are not noticed or visible to the home or business owner
- Rooms or unseen, often dark, areas where humidity is too high and damp air is trapped for an extended period (crawl spaces, basements, attics)
- Flooding events where remediation does not begin inside 48-72 hours
- Cracks in exterior walls that allow water to seep into frame of home or business
- Leaks through roofs and exterior siding
