Summer Mold Prevention

During the summer, mold damage can occur more frequently due to the humidity and moisture we experience. Areas that are prone to bacteria and wet surfaces such as showers or windows can quickly grow mold if left unattended. To prevent the need for mold remediation in your home, make sure you are staying on top of several actions.

• Inspect your home for signs of moisture. Windows, HVAC systems, bathrooms and other areas where water can play a role in mold growth should be routinely cleaned.
• The interior temperature should be kept cool enough to prevent warm air and moisture. Keep your doors and windows closed to prevent stagnant air.
• Ensure that your HVAC system is working properly and that all windows are sealed to prevent a water leak that can slowly progress into a larger issue.
• Clean out your gutters. Mold can even grow from the moisture trapped in the leaves in your drainage system.
• Ensure that you hire a restoration professional to clean up any water damage you may experience. Improperly removing water from a structure often leads to mold growth that can spread quickly.
