There will always be some level of mold in every home in the North Shore, but sometimes that level can get out of hand if the fungi is exposed to the ideal living conditions. In order to avoid residential mold problems, Bay State Mold Removal recommends these tips and tricks to preventing mold — because the best way to fight mold is to not have it in the first place.
- Control your home’s indoor air quality and also remove airborne mold spores with the help of dehumidifiers and air conditioners. In the North Shore, our homes tend to collect a lot of moisture, which is a prime environment for mold to develop.
- Keep your home warm in colder weather. As the temperature dips lower this season, the air is less likely to hold moisture, which leads to condensation on walls and windows, eventually leading to mold problems.
- Fix basement leaks or attic leaks as soon as they are noticed. A rainy fall season in the North Shore area will be a good indicator for leaks and seepage. If you notice a basement leak and a developing mold issue, Bay State Mold Removal provides basement waterproofing as a solution.
Other tips and tricks include making sure that there’s plenty of air circulation throughout your home. If you’ve already noticed a mold issue, it’s best to contact a professional if the mold growth is larger than a foot in diameter, as this could mean there are further underlying issues.
