WAYS TO PREVENT MOLDS FROM SPREADING THROUGHOUT YOUR BUILDING

Mold can grow on carpet, clothing, food, paper, and in places you can't see. It is spread via spores and cannot be completely eradicated. It is a common and serious problem. Luckily, there are a few things you can do so you can you minimize risk of pesky mold popping up in your building.

  1. Clean Your Building Regularly

To prevent this fungus from growing, it is important to keep your building clean. This will help to remove the spores before they spread.

  1. Make Repairs Right Away

Leaky roofs, unsealed windows and door frames are problems causing mold to grow. Repair building issues as soon as they occur. Always try to catch leaks and water damage before the wetness can lead to a moldy disaster.

  1. Keep Humidity Low

A leak is not the only the reason that can cause mold to grow. The climate in which building resides may mean humidity is always at a high. Damp air makes it easy for mold to grow. Consider installing dehumidifiers, or running smaller units in basements and attics help keep things dry.

  1. Hire a Professional for Removal

If you already have mold in your building, do not try to remove it on your own. Mold cleanup can actually cause the fungus to spread further if done incorrectly. To effectively prevent mold from growing, you need a mold remediation specialist. Working with a mold remediation specialist can help ensure that any existing problems are responded to quickly and that moving ahead, you’ll stay free and clear of mold-related damage and health concerns.
