If you allow your home to become a haven for mold, it will become a major problem for members of your family. So, if you do a mold inspection from time to time, you can identify the breeding grounds. That way, you can decide where to use LGR PLUS to eliminate mold before it spreads to the rest of your home.
Typically, you will perform a mold inspection to determine whether or not mold has taken up residence in your home. Second, you need to identify the source of the moisture and decide how to deal with it.
- Bathrooms
The bathroom is associated with moisture and heat. It creates a favorable environment for mold to thrive. If it lacks proper ventilation, it could become a haven for pests. Look for signs of mold behind the shower, sink, floor and toilet.
- Kitchen
Cooking activities always increase the amount of moisture in the kitchen. It also provides the right temperature that molds need to multiply. So, when inspecting, make sure to check all corners of the kitchen. Make sure there are no food scraps piled up in the kitchen. Also, check for food debris buildup in and around sinks.
- Bedroom
Although it's difficult for mold to take up residence in the bedroom, inadequate ventilation can still make the bedroom susceptible to mold growth. This means you need to be extra careful when inspecting. Check all corners and any damp spots where mold can thrive.
- Living area
Mold thrives everywhere as long as the environment allows it. So when you do the inspection, target the living room as one of the areas. Check the sofas, the area around the houseplants, the curtains and the carpets.
A thorough inspection should help you discover areas where mold can thrive. This will give you a chance to eliminate them before they form a colony. If the molds thrive for a long period of time, it will take more time and effort to eliminate them. Elimination could be costly.
So if you notice any of the symptoms of mold in your home. A thorough inspection is necessary. It will help you solve the problem before it gets out of control. Symptoms to keep an eye out for include skin irritation, allergies and respiratory problems.
If your home is experiencing water problems such as flooding, spills and leaks, an inspection may be necessary. If you notice a stale or musty odor, this is a telltale sign that mold is growing.
Peeling paint, black sports and cracks on the wall are a good sign of mold on the wall. So if you notice any of these signs, you should check the walls for peeling. If you find mold on the floors, ceiling or wall, it indicates that you have a problem with mold growth in the home.
Once you have determined that a home has become a haven for mold, you need to take action to address the problem. No homeowner wants mold growing in their home. Therefore, it is only logical to take precautions that will help you solve the problem before it gets out of control. Here are some things you can do to get the problem under control once and for all.
Eliminate all sources of moisture. Clean the house regularly and make sure areas like the kitchen and bathroom stay dry. They carry a higher risk of mold growth.
The home should be well ventilated. Check that windows and doors are open to allow regular air circulation. Also, use fans to ventilate the apartment.
Use recommended cleaning solutions to remove mold. Solutions such as ammonia, bleach and vinegar are best for this purpose.
Use dehumidifiers to combat mold. They regulate humidity and make it difficult for fungi to thrive. They also monitor and control moisture levels. Dehumidifiers absorb moisture from the air and make it difficult for mold to grow. They reduce condensation and starve patterns. Turn on dehumidifiers after showering or when drying clothes in the house.
