Prevent Mold from Growing
- 5/12/2011
Spring is in the air. Unfortunately, so is the possibility of mold growth in your home. What can you do?
While the exact specifications for growth vary by species, mold generally grows in damp, warm environments. It needs nutrients to grow, and these can come from wood, wallboard, wallpaper, upholstery and dust.
The best mold prevention begins with a visual inspection, and for that it's best to call in the professionals.
