Mold Remediation Tips For Your House

All know that mold at home can lead to a lot of problems. This because mold spores spread very easily too, which makes it difficult to eradicate once it has begun to grow. We also know that mold is not limited to wet areas like under the sink or on the windowsill—it can also grow on carpet, food, clothing, paper, and even behind your walls and drywall. So the mold remediation is very important.

Renovco as a mold remediation company which operates in Ottawa has some mold prevention tips to help you protect the house:

Eliminate Clutter

Household clutter should be dealt with on a regular basis. If you make clutter, in particular in damp areas such as the basement or attic, this can lead to mold. To prevent this you have to clear away the vents to circulate the air, remove old furniture and curtains that block supply grills with air.

Monitor Humidity Indoors

It’s recommended to keep the house humidity levels between 30% and 60%. For this, you should have a simple moisture meter that can determine this percentage or your pre-installed heating and air conditioning monitor may already display the percentage. Adjusting the temperature makes possible the mold remediation and prevention too.

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Even the simplest activities can build up moisture in your home: cooking dinner, taking a shower and doing laundry. So don’t forget that is always best to ventilate areas that produce moisture. You can use dehumidifiers, air conditioning units, or open the windows. If you remove the moisture, you also have reduced the possibility of mold remediation.

Dry the Wet Areas to Reduce the Mold Remediation

Mold grows because of moisture, so the sooner you remove the wet spots, the better. As professionals, we will check all your house, the basement or any leaky pipe to guarantee that they are in the correct form and do not cause problems or opportunities for mold growth.

Clean Roof Gutters

A leaking roof caused by full or damaged gutters is another common source of mold. After a heavy windstorm, and regularly throughout the year, you should have your roof gutters cleaned out and inspected for damage. If these gutters have cracks or are clogged, the water that falls into them can rise or down the walls of your home and into the foundation. This water can cause floods in your basement and eventually, lead to mold.
