To help keep the air you and your family breath here are some tips on how to prevent mold and mildew from growing in your home.
- Make sure you have a good seal on windows and doors to prevent moisture from entering your home. This will not only help with mold growth it will help keep your heating cost down as well.
- You should have any leaky pipes or faucets fixed or replaces immediately. If you can’t have the problem fixed right away then shut off the water flow to the broken pipes or faucets.
- If you have any moisture in your basement or crawl space then you will need to have a professional basement or crawl space waterproofing company inspect this area for you. Many including Ameri Care Services offer a free evaluation of your
basement or crawl space for waterproofing or signs of mold and mildew.
