Call Paul Davis Restoration for expert advice on Mold.  Mold and mildew are naturally occurring and are everywhere in our environment.  When the amount of mold in our homes exceeds what is normal, we tend to take notice.  Regardless of its health effects, none of us want excessive mold in our homes.  Mold needs moisture to grow, and if you’ve discovered a mold problem, the first step is to find the moisture source.  Routine homeowner maintenance is crucial to avoiding the buildup of moisture in your home.  Proper ventilation and insulation are key components of preventing moisture buildup and mold growth.

Common Questions and Answers:

What if you believe that you have a mold problem?  Here are some important things you should know:

• Mold growth requires a wetness. It generally grows as a consequence of leaks or improperly handled water damage drying..
• Most mold requires a high level of moisture to grow in the beginning, later they reproduce at much lower moisture levels.  Sometimes as low as standard indoor humidity levels.
• Mold growth can be effectively prevented by quick and efficient drying.   When you remove the moisture, you remove the food for initial mold growth.
• If you suspect mold, contact an experienced contractor certified in mold remediation.

The best way to prevent mold is through prevention.  Tips:

• Locate and fix the source of the moisture.
• Inspect your roof yearly for leaks.  Repair any damage.  Look at the metal flashing and valleys particularly closely.
• Attic ventilation is a must.  This allows for warmer air to escape.
• Inspect rooms opposite baths and kitchen at base of floor behind sinks toilets, and tub/shower valves.  Shower and tubs should always be caulked and grouted.
• Inspect toilet and sink water supply lines for leakage.  Make sure toilet is grouted at floor and does not rock or move at all. 
• Inspect air conditioning annually for proper drainage and functioning.  Your air conditioners job is to remove moisture from you home
• Inspect grade around your home for pooling.  Caulk windows, doors, and exterior fixtures (light fixtures, etc.) with only the highest quality products.
