Mold Inspection
Mold
Mold can seem like a daunting and destructive problem for a property owner.
The best way to control mold – moisture control
Molds – where?
We can see molds on carpet, clothing, food, paper, and even in places you can't see, such as the backside of drywall, areas inside walls around leaking, and above ceiling tiles.
Mold spores spread quickly and cannot be completely eradicated.
Tips to eliminate Mold
Identify problem areas in your home and eliminate it
Direct water away from Home
If the ground around home is not properly sloped away from the foundation of the home, water may collect there and seep into your basement.
Prevent moisture
with Proper ventilation
Use mold resistant products in Home
Moisture-resistant drywall should be used in areas prone to wetness, such as bathrooms, laundry rooms etc.. Mold-resistant gypsum board is available; the core of the drywall is developed in such a way to prevent moisture absorption, and thus we can prevent growth of mold
Monitor Humidity of Indoors
Clean roof gutters
Improve Air Flow in Home
Cause of Indoor air quality problems
Indoor pollution sources that emit gases or particles into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems in homes.
How inadequate ventilation affects indoor air quality
Insufficient ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in much outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the home.
High temperature and humidity
levels can also increase
concentrations of some
pollutants in Home.
