Ducts are just one area in a home where mold can grow. Inspect your home often for signs of moisture and mold growth.

SERVPRO Offers Mold Damage Prevention Tips to Lafayette Residents

A preventive measure to prevent mold is to keep your HVAC system clean. When your HVAC system is running, it can spread mold spores through the air ducts. The spores then circulate throughout the air and into every room in the house.

Reducing the Chance for Mold Growth

While mold spores are everywhere and you cannot entirely remove them, reducing them as much as possible can prohibit the chance of growth. Mold damage in Lafayette homes is commonplace. Keeping your HVAC system clean is just one of the things you can do to prevent mold colonies' development. Other actions that can help include:

• Do not let moisture develop in the home.
• If you live in a high humidity area, run a dehumidifier.
• Check basements, pipes, and sink areas often for signs of mold.
• Install exhaust fans in bathrooms.
