Have you ever been in a building that has a mold problem? Usually you can tell from the musty smell, and for some people, it even causes some serious breathing issues, headaches, runny eyes or sneezing. Mold spores are everywhere, but the challenge is to prevent them from finding a place to grow inside of your home. Mold needs a dark damp area with poor ventilation to really thrive, so if there is a place inside of your home that fits that bill, you could be inviting it to take root.
Good air-circulation in your home is good both for preventing mold and for air quality in general. You can accomplish this by installing fans, regularly airing out your home, and ensuring that exhaust fans are working properly and have ducts that are clear of blockages.
It is also very important to keep moisture to a minimum, so leaks should be fixed right away and spills should be cleaned up quickly.
