How Do I Prevent Mold Growth?

The best way to ensure that you don't have a big mold problem is by preventing mold growth in the first place. Mold thrives on moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth is to eliminate any moisture problem areas.

Mold Prevention Tips

Preventing mold can be as simple as repairing a roof leak or pipe leak quickly, or properly maintaining functioning rain gutters. You should also check your windows and doors to make sure there are no areas where water can enter your home. A bigger project to prevent mold growth might be installing a waterproof system in your basement to ensure no water leaks into that area without you knowing about it. If your home has a proper level of humidity around 40% to 60%, and you have proper ventilated areas where moisture is present like bathrooms, showers, and kitchens, then mold growth shouldn't be a concern.
