Even if you can’t see it, mold could be growing in your home and causing damage to both its interior and the home’s structural integrity. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, mold growth can also damage the air quality inside your home, causing harm to the people who live there.
The best thing you can do to protect your home and your family from mold growth is to reduce moisture throughout the home. From installing dehumidifiers to waterproofing the basement and cleaning up wet carpet and bathrooms immediately, a few small changes can help protect your home against mold.
