Mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. Below are some tips you can do to control moisture:
1) When water leaks or spills occur indoors - ACT QUICKLY.
2) Clean and repair roof gutters regularly.
3) Make sure the ground slopes away from the building foundation, so that water does not enter or collect around the foundation.
4) Keep AC drip pans clean and the drain lines unobstructed and flowing properly.
5) Keep indoor humidity low.
6) If you see condensation or moisture collecting on windows, walls or pipes act QUICKLY to dry the wet surface and reduce the moisture/water source.
7) If you see swelling in material like cabinets or flooring, ACT QUICKLY.
