Mold Removal 101

Updated: Jun 22, 2022

At any time of year, mold can emerge, but it is certainly more prevalent in the summer. A ideal climate for mold growth is provided by warmer temperatures and summer rains. Fast-growing mold can pose an important danger to the health of your family and can harm your property as well. This article explains why mold is more prevalent in the summer and what steps you should take to stop it.


Moisture

High humidity levels create a perfect environment for the growth of molds. It can make the atmosphere much easier for mold to develop if there is poor ventilation in an area. Regularly check and clean windowsills as it is normal for condensation to build up there due to inside and out temperature variations. You would also want to ensure that air conditioning systems work properly and do not allow mold to grow inside your house.


The Constant Humidity

An excellent environment for mold can be produced by moist conditions. Remember condensation, the attic, windowsills and other areas where moisture may be trapped inside insulation materials. You should also think of dead leaves on the gutters of your roof that can cause mold to grow on your roof as well. You'll want to search for and remove any sources of persistent moisture to stop mold formation. Check your gutters and your attic for mold regularly.


Leaks

Another source for mold to grow and flourish on may also be water leaks. Test your basement, roof, and walls for leaks. Periodic cleaning and targeting secret spaces such as crawl spaces help avoid the growth of mold. As this article has pointed out, the best ways to avoid mold from getting out of hand are to check periodically and remove mold growth conditions. Mold growth can be a significant risk to your family's health and can cause issues for your house, so if it happens, it is vital to keep it under control and catch it early.
