Mold Outbreak Discovered in Rooney Valley Home?
5/16/2023 (Permalink)
Our local Lakewood and Ken Caryl team has been restoring mold damage in Rooney Valley for over forty years. Mold spores are always present in the Earth’s atmosphere, waiting for the perfect conditions to colonize. Here is some information from the Environmental Protection Agency about mold:
- There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture
- Fix the source of the water problem or leak to prevent mold growth
- Reduce indoor humidity (to 30-60 percent) to decrease mold growth by:
- Venting bathrooms, dryers, and other moisture-generating sources to the outside
- Using air conditioners and de-humidifiers
- Increasing ventilation
- Using exhaust fans whenever cooking, dishwashing, and cleaning
- Prevent condensation: Reduce the potential for condensation on cold surfaces (i.e., windows, piping, exterior walls, roof, or floors) by adding insulation
- In areas where there is a perpetual moisture problem, do not install carpeting
- Molds can be found almost anywhere; they can grow on virtually any substance, providing moisture is present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and food.
