Springtime Mold Prevention Tips

Springtime Mold Prevention Tips

March 19, 2020 by John Skelly |

Spring is upon us and now the long winter has passed. This is a time that homeowners use for cleaning, organizing and getting their home and yards together to enjoy the summer. As part of your Spring Cleaning this year,  pay attention to the presence of mold and preventing its growth. Taking the right precautions now can save you down the line. Here are our spring tips for preventing mold.

Springtime Mold Prevention Tips:

  1. Clean out air conditioners. Clean and remove any standing water from the drip pan. This is where moisture collects and provides grounds for mold growth.
  2. Repair water leaks. If you have water leaking in your home, from plumbing fixtures or cracks in the roof, spring is the time to attack these repairs. It’s important to find these areas and repair them to prevent moisture from aggregating.
  3. Keep an eye on humidity levels. Keep humidity levels in your home below 60%. As the temperature changes, the indoor humidity will change too. Be sure to install a humidity detector so that you always know what your levels are.
  4. Clean out your gutters. Keeping your gutters clear and in good working order will prevent the collection of stagnant water which contributes to mold growth along with the organic materials of leaves etc that collect in gutters.
  5. Keep windows clear of condensation. If you see condensation on windows, pipes or walls it is best to keep them wiped down and dry to prevent mold growth.

If you have discovered a mold issue in your home it is best to have a mold inspection to determine the extent of the mold growth. A certified mold inspector can help you to determine what type of mold growth you have, if it is harmful, and if you can remove it yourself or if professional removal is required. Contact HNST Mold Inspections if you find mold in your home and follow our sprint tips for preventing mold.
