The normal environment for a home includes mold spores.  However, just like a seed, they need the right conditions to become mold.  A mold spore needs three things to become mold, Food, Air and Water.  Anything organic can become Food and there is plenty of Air in a home.  The variable for mold to grow is Water.  Most people think of a burst pipe or flood as the Water source, but simply having relative humidity over 60% can be the moisture needed to produce mold inside a home.

What can homeowners do to prevent mold?

1. When there is a burst pipe, toilet overflow, roof leak or other source of unwanted water entering your home, call a professional water restoration company like Drip Ninjas.

2. Schedule regular maintenance of HVAC units.  Overflowing drip pans from HVAC units placed in the attic are a major source of water damage.  Regular maintenance will also save money on monthly power bills.

3. Have yearly inspections of crawlspaces and attics.  

The Drip Ninjas team has the experience, training and tools to assist with any water damage or mold issue.
