In as little as 48 hours, mold can quickly become a problem in your home or business when there’s a water intrusion, like a roof leak or leaking water line. Mold can cause health effects and can also cause significant damage to your property. 

To prevent mold growth follow these tips:

  • Keep the humidity between 30 to 60 percent  
  • Provide for proper drainage away from building foundation
  • Regularly inspect plumbing and appliances for leaks
  • Keep gutters and drains clear of debris
  • Inspect the roof, windows, and other areas where water might enter the building
  • Keep heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) drip pans clean, flowing properly, and unobstructed 
  • Respond to all water intrusions immediately
