The Dangers Of Mold And How To Prevent Its Growth

There is little doubt that mold is unwanted, unhealthy, and dangerous. It has no place in our homes and places of business. Mold can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other serious conditions. Rainbow Restoration would like to provide you with several tips on how to reduce or even prevent mold growth from forming.

MOLD REDUCING MATERIALS

If you’re building or remodeling your home or business, you can use certain construction materials that will assist you in reducing the risk of mold growth.  Items such as treated lumber, non-paper coated wallboards, fiberglass faced gypsum, cement board, mold resistant paint, insulation, and caulks, clay floor tiles, and other hard floor materials, grout, and sealants are all materials that can assist in mold remediation. 


HUMIDITY CONTROL

Keeping the humidity inside your home or business at or below 50% can greatly reduce mold growth.  When there is a reduction of moisture in an environment, mold growth is limited.  Using programmable dehumidifiers and exhaust fans are also beneficial in keeping moisture out of your home or business. 


STOP LEAKS IMMEDIATELY

Checking for and repairing leaks in your home or business can also play a significant role in moisture reduction.  You can check water pipes, hoses, and roofs regularly to ensure water is not entering your space unnecessarily.  Regular maintenance of toilets, faucets, and showers can aid in keeping a mold free environment as well. 


 HVAC FILTRATION

Another way to discourage mold growth is through quality filtration on your HVAC system.  High quality air filtration will catch airborne mold spores and disallow them from entering the air you breathe.   


Rainbow Restoration is committed to assisting our customers in preventing mold growth which can create an unhealthy atmosphere.  While these tips may not entirely prevent mold, they will assist you in reducing the chance of it occurring.  Contact our office today with any questions you may have regarding mold.  We are here for you!
