Mold Prevention Tips

✔ When a water leak occurs it is important to act fast. If the damp material or area is dried out within the first 24 to 48 hours, typically mold will not grow. In the following days check the area regularly to ensure there is no mold.

✔ Clean and repair gutters on a regular basis as mold can being to grow and spread into the home.

✔ Ensure that the ground outside your home slopes away from the foundation so that water does not collect or enter the foundation.

✔ Keep the air conditioning drip pans clean. Also ensure that the drain lines are not obstructed and are flowing properly.

✔ Try to keep the indoor humidity low, below 60% but ideally somewhere between 30% and 50% relative humidity. An inexpensive moisture or humidity meter can be found at your local hardware store.

✔ If you notice condensation or moisture collecting on windows, walls or pipes, it is imperative to act quickly to dry the affected area and find the source of the increased humidity. Condensation can be a sign of high humidity.

They should take care to explore the areas of your home that have been directly affected by the fire as well as the immediate areas. They should carefully examine your flooring particularly if it is carpet because the ashes and soot may have become imbedded in the carpet.They should also carefully check for water damage because they will need to be mitigated first to prevent mold from growing.It is critical that you take action immediately after the fire has been put out (i.e., the same day or next day if it happens at night) in order to get rid of the fire and smoke damage in your home.
