PREVENTION
How to Prevent Mold From Coming Back
The most important long-term mold-control strategy is moisture control.
Practical prevention
- Repair leaks promptly
- Dry wet materials quickly after water damage
- Use bathroom and kitchen exhaust ventilation
- Use dehumidification where humidity remains high
- Reduce condensation through appropriate insulation and ventilation
- Recheck repaired areas for recurring moisture
Watch the original problem area
After cleanup, revisit the area during wet weather, humid periods or after using nearby plumbing. Recurring dampness is a sign that the moisture problem may not be fully resolved.
