Guaranteed Ways to Have Mold Growth in Your Home

Mold growth is an issue that many homeowners have to face at one time or another.  When left unchecked, it can become a costly little visitor that can wreak havok in your home, as well as be a major health hazard to you and your family.  However, you might be contributing to the growth of mold spores in your home and not even realize it!

Mold growth can occur in your house if you have one or more of these conditions in the home.

 

Mold Spores

Primary element!  Mold spores can be tracked in from outdoors by the clothes we wear, on out shoes, in our hair, etc.  Keeping the home cleaned and disinfected in areas necessary can help control the growth of mold.

Moisture

Mold growth occurs in damp areas because mold spores love to make their home in areas that are full of moisture.  These areas can include basements and crawlspaces, kitchens and bathrooms.  To help combat the growth of mold, the use of dehumidifiers in these areas can be a big help.

Temperature

Mold growth occurs in temperatures ranging in 36-125 degrees.

Food

Foods such as bread, fruits, and vegetables are great accomplices in the growth of mold and mildew.  If these items seem to be going bad, dispose of them immediately.  Although moldy food is minor compared to mold growth on foundation walls and floors, you still do not want to take the chance of the spores drying out and being spread to other areas of your home.

Knowing what conditions molds need to thrive in, you can take action to prevent mold growth and the spreading of mold spores in your home, creating a healthy living environment for you and your family, not for mold.
