Mold growth is a common problem in most homes and businesses, which usually appears after a flood or any water damage event. Aside from being an aesthetic issue, mold can also pose health risks to building occupants, such as allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Mold can be visible or hidden and when neglected can spread to other surfaces and become unmanageable.
Once mold has developed, it must immediately be removed by a professional mold remediation company, such as ServiceMaster by LoveJoy in Georgia, to prevent it from becoming worse. While waiting for the professionals to arrive, there are some steps that can be taken to help remove mold that has started to grow on walls in the home or business building. Read them below.
How to Prevent Mold Growth
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends setting humidity levels below 50 percent. Installing a dehumidifier or running an air conditioner can reduce humidity inside homes and businesses.
- Install exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to vent the heat and humidity outside.
- Moisture can enter the home through cracks or gaps, so seal noticeable leaks or damages in the walls or the home's foundation, as well as around windows and doors.
- Keep gutters clean and free of debris to allow water to flow away from the foundation and prevent it from pooling or accumulating next to the building.
- Use mildew-resistant building materials and paint when remodeling. Mold inhibitors may also be added to regular paint.
If the mold persists even after cleaning and prevention, it’s time to call a professional mold removal company for a safe and effective solution.
