How to prevent mold in my Dallas home?

The best way to prevent mold from getting out of control and becoming a hazard to your health is to keep your home dry. If you have leaks, take care of them as soon as possible. Call Dalworth Restoration, a professional Dallas Fort Worth mold abatement and remediation service company to repair any water leaks or water damage. If mold damage has occurred, Dalworth Restoration will perform mold removal, mold clean up and mold remediation. To control mold growth, here are a few suggestions:

• Repair any water leaks, such as leaky roofs and leaky plumbing. Ensure there is no water around concrete slabs and basement walls.
• Make sure there is air flow in your home, which is especially important along the inside of exterior walls. If no windows are available, do install fans.
• Make sure that air flows and circulates into all areas of your house. Large objects need to be moved a couple of inches away from the inside of exterior walls to allow circulation.
• Install exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms and turn them on as needed.
• Vacuum, dust and clean your home regularly to remove mold spores.
• Make sure there are no signs of condensation and water droplets around your windows. Clean moisture immediately so mold can’t grow.
• Air out and insulate attic and crawl spaces. Cover earth floors in crawl spaces with heavy plastic.
• Remove, clean up and dry water damaged clothing, bedding, rugs and carpets as well as upholstered furniture as soon as possible, within 24-48 hours.
