9 Ways To Prevent MOLD!
Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/25/2012 - 17:10

 

Mold and fungi have become a serious issue these days.  There is great news though, Brilliant Services has the equipment and the technology to remediate any mold situation quickly, thoroughly and at a fair price.

To grow, mold only needs 1) A food source and 2) moisture.  Because it's difficult to remove food sources (leaves, newspaper, any organic debris), your best bet in preventing or minimizing the growth of mold is to keep spaces dry.  

What Are Sources Of Moisture In My Home?

 

Crawl space flooding - Leaking roofs - Humidifiers - Flooding - Plumbing leaks - Clogged dryer vents - Suboptimal bathroom exhaust fans
 

 

Mold Prevention Tips:

  • Fix leaky plumbing as soon as you suspect it
  • Keep an eye out for condensation on windows that lasts all day
  • Repair all sources of moisture issues as soon as possible
  • Use your furnace fan to move air around your home
  • Check your water heater's drip pan to ensure it's dry and not harboring organic growth
  • Be sure your vents (dryers and microwaves) vent outside
  • If an area that was damp grew anything, treat it with a fungicide while it's still damp
  • Check your foundation.  Don't let water pool up next to it.  Install drainage where necessary
  • Check your gutters.  If they are contributing to puddles around your home, get them optimized

"Thank you so much (and Josh) for taking care of this.  I was up on my roof Monday after work and was impressed with the work performed.  I was also impressed that Josh took the time to fill in other areas that he felt needed sealing.  I also appreciated that he acquired the correct shingles instead of the ones I left!"
