Tips to Prevent Household Mold
The growth of mold is a serious problem in homes, offices, and apartments all over. This is because both mold and mildew can grow anywhere in a home from the garage to the attic and everywhere in between. Mold can grow in any climate hot or cold, but it is very common in South Florida because of high humidity and also because of our severe storms that bring about 60 inches of rain per year. Add this to occasional leaks and you have a good recipe for mold.
Mold is an issue that must be addressed because it is capable of causing both long term and short term affects to the health of you and your entire family.
The first thing you need to know about mold is that it can be absolutely anywhere without you even knowing about it. There may be some hidden behind drywall or there may be some hidden inside of your ceiling tiles, or even under lenoleum floor tile. Mold can also be found in heating and air conditioning ducts as well. In fact one of mold’s favorite hiding places is the interior of ducts and AC units where it proliferates. In Aug 2013 we did a 6 hour inspection of 4 locations of a massive equestrian estate in Wellington. Three of these four locations were dealing with mold because of inpropper fresh air intakes at the AC units. Bathrooms are another hotspot for mold to grow and thrive where it forms under and behind sink cabinets and inside leaky shower walls. Dealing with problems behind sinks is not easy or cheap. Fortunately if bathroom mold is the result of moisture in the air an exhaust fan will pull the moist air out of the bathroom while you are running the shower. You want to make sure you let the fan run for 20 minutes after you have turned the shower off.
Furthermore, you should never have carpeted flooring in your bathroom or your kitchen. Carpet is a magnet for both mold and mildew as well as dust mites. Unfortunately, it is difficult to keep your carpet dry when you have it in rooms that are prone to moisture.
In order for mold to continue to grow and spread, it needs to be able to eat and drink just like you do. Mold feeds on leaks that can come from bad pipes just about anywhere in the home. This is why inspecting your home’s plumbing for leaks is just as important as inspecting the home for mold. A qualified consultant knows how to sample your air and check for leaks and other defects that cause moisture. After all, it is going to do no good for you to get the mold out of your home if leaking pipes are just going to cause it to grow back.
If you think there is a chance that there is mold in your home causing your family health problems, an air quality test for mold spores in conjunction was a inspection is the only way to find out. Samples of the air in your home will be taken and sent to a laboratory for testing. In South Florida there are a few mold consulting firms that are certified to analyze their own samples, A Accredited Mold Inspection Service near Wellington Florida is one such company. Then, you just have to wait for the test results to come back to find out whether or not your home is contaminated with mold.
If you find out that your home is contaminated with mold, it is important for you to have the mold removed as soon as possible. Please do not make the common mistake of hiring one company to test and inspect for mold, and also remove the mold. You must have separate companies do the testing and the removal.
