What’s growing on?
Spring showers are turning the great outdoors green again. Time to make
sure the damp air doesn’t make its way indoors, where mold and mildew
growth can damage your home and aggravate allergies.
Causes behind the problem
Mold can thrive in any place where there’s an excess of moisture (e.g.,
humidity in the air, condensation on windows or water leaks) and
presence of organic material (e.g., natural carpet fibers, drywall or
wood).
Signs of mold growth include musty odors, condensation on windows,
discoloration of walls or ceilings, loose drywall tape and wood warping.
Health effects
Allergic responses to Mold include hay-fever symptoms, such as sneezing,
runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Molds can also aggravate asthma.

How to manage Mold
Things you can do
- Keep relative humidity within a range of 30% and 60%
- Make sure your home is properly ventilated
- Repair leaks in your roof or plumbing within 48 hours
- Remove Mold from hard surfaces such as ceramic tile by cleaning it with
dishwashing liquid and then following with a solution of bleach and warm
water
- Immediately replace Mold-damaged materials, such as floor mats or
comforters
- Check around air-handling units
* (air conditioners, furnaces) for
stagnant water
Turn on your air conditioner* and/or dehumidifier during summer months,
and use the “auto fan” setting to reduce humidity and save energy
Regularly wipe down shower curtain liners
Avoid the use of carpets/rugs in rooms below ground level
Scrub all walls, floors and other mold-contaminated hard surfaces.
First, use a mild detergent solution, and then follow with warm water
and bleach. For large areas of mold growth, more drastic measures may be
needed.
NOTE: If there is mold growth in your home, it’s important to
clean
up the mold and fix the water problem. If you address the mold, but
don't fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will
come back.

How Welzig Heating and Air can help
By keeping moisture levels in check, a dehumidification system
helps keep Mold out of the picture for good. For best results, combine a
dehumidifier with an air cleaner.
We can also inspect your heating and cooling system to make sure there
are no issues with moisture or mold buildup.
