If moisture is a prevalent problem in your property, expect to see mold growing on your floors and walls. Mold may not look like an immediate household threat, but allowing it to spread in your property is very dangerous. Extended exposure to mold causes serious health problems, such as:
To avoid the dangers of inhaling mold, you need to create a moisture-free environment. You can achieve this by adopting the following moisture prevention techniques:
Condensation usually occurs near and around your property’s metal pipes, water heaters, and concrete walls. The water droplets left by this process encourages mold growth. To make things worse, the areas favored by mold are found in your basement or crawl space – places that are difficult to reach and maintain. Insulating your basement walls and encapsulating your crawl space can solve your property’s moisture problem. These measures protect your pipes and water heaters from condensation by forming a vapor barrier that keeps out moisture.
Excess moisture is often caused by a leaking tap, pipe, or roof. You need to seal these leaks immediately to keep mold from manifesting in these places. Some leaks you can repair on your own. However, if the leaks are too difficult to handle or are in hard-to-reach areas, call the professionals to have them repaired.
