Tips For Avoiding Mold in Your Home

Mold is something that can have a significant impact on your health as well as the condition of your home. Therefore, it is important that you know how to identify it, remove it and keep it from growing back.

What Is Mold?

Mold is a fungus that tends to be green or light green in appearance. However, mold can also be black, and black mold is generally more hazardous to your health. Whenever you encounter this substance in your home, don’t hesitate to contact the professionals at Collins Comfort Masters in Gilbert, AZ. We can help get rid of mold that you can see as well as find mold behind walls or in other places where it isn’t easily visible to the naked eye.

Allow for Adequate Air Circulation

Mold tends to grow in areas of the home where moist and humid air is allowed to linger. Consequently, it is important to have extra ventilation in the kitchen, bathroom, and basement. Ventilation equipment is also recommended in garages, attics or other locations where air may struggle to exit the home.

Provide Barriers Against Moisture

Sealing a basement or an attic is a great way to prevent water from seeping in during a rain event. It can also prevent moisture from lining the walls of your home when humidity levels rise outside. In addition to getting rid of mold, blocking moisture from getting into your home can reduce the odds of mosquitoes or other pests being attracted to the premises.

Clean Your Home Regularly

Taking a few minutes to wipe the mold off a bathroom or kitchen wall can prevent it from spreading to other parts of your house. By keeping mold off walls or floors, you also keep it from flying around in the air. This means that you don’t have to worry about breathing it in.
