Stop the growth, “mold” Turkey!!

Want to know how to avoid mold growth and stop it cold turkey? Here are some helpful hints:

Mold growth can happen anywhere in your home or business. Most of the time it is due to high humidity and condensation build up over time. In Florida it is more common than people think and has become a well known issue in the state. The condensation that forms when a house is colder than the outside air is the perfect environment for mold to grow.

Here are some ways to prevent mold growth in your home:

First is to keep an eye on the humidity levels in your home. Make sure that they are no more than around 50% as the day goes on. If levels reach above 50% that could cause growth to happen.

Also, make sure that the air in your home flows freely and there are no restrictions on air flow.

Any leaks that may be present, no matter how small, should be addressed immediately. Always dry up wet items quickly and fully. If you are unsure if a wall or affected item is completely dry, allow SERVPRO of Hernando to come out and check for you!
