Where To Check For Mold – Moisture Is The Key
Knowing where to check for mold in your home is the first step of prevention. No matter how thoroughly you clean your house, you could be harboring a silent invader: mold. Mold and mildew thrive in the secret, damp, warm spaces inside your home. And mold exposure can be a serious health hazard to the inhabitants. These spores lead to toxic air quality. Mold growth requires immediate professional mold removal from a mold specialist like MasterTech Environmental.
Mold Hotspots – Where To Check For Mold
Moisture and warmth are two primary environmental growth factors for mildew and mold in the home. Do you suspect you might have undetected mold in your house due to an odor? Or, signs of mold sickness, or decreased air quality? You should check three major hotspots: basements, attics, and crawl spaces.
All three of these places have poor air circulation. They are prone to dampness. And can experience water leakage, which makes them perfect for undetected mold growth. However, mold can grow anywhere in the home under the right conditions, so a certified mold inspection is essential regardless of your findings. If you suspect a mold issue in your home, you should always call an expert mold remediation company to inspect and remove the infestation.
