5 Helpful Tips For Preventing Mold

Preventing mold from causing damage to your home is easier than you may think.

Mold is quite common in homes that are prone to moisture or have suffered severe water damage. As a result, there are a few key tips that can help all homeowners prevent mold from growing in their homes.

Clean Up Any Liquid Spills Immediately

As soon as any liquid is spilled, it is critical to clean it up instantly. Mold thrives on excess moisture such as leaks and spills, even if it is just water.

Invest In Insulation

Another breeding ground for mold are those pesky leaky pipes. If your home is currently suffering from leaky pipes consider surrounding cold pipes and cold surfaces with insulation.

Make Sure The Ground Slopes Away From The Home

This can usually only be done when you are building a brand new home but is nonetheless extremely important to remember. Home buyers need to always make sure that the ground slopes away from the base of the home so that you avoid moisture from collecting at the base of the foundation. Mold will thrive in a home that has any excess moisture.

Keep Air Conditioning Drains Clean

Another important tip to keep mold at bay is to regularly clean and maintain all the air conditioning pipes throughout the home. In fact, ensuring that your air conditioner pipes are flowing properly is essential in order to prevent mold from harming your home.

Eliminate Excess Moisture

We keep harboring on excess moisture because it is the number one reason most homeowners experience mold in their homes. That is precisely why eliminating any excess moisture in a home is a wonderful way to reduce the chance of mold growth in the home. Consider examining all your appliances for any excess moisture that could potentially foster mold growth if not removed.
