Mold Prevention

Delayed or insufficient maintenance is associated with moisture problems leading to mold.

To prevent mold growth the following actions are recommended:

  • Identify and report deficient plumbing and leaks in the building structure as soon as possible
  • Watch for condensation, wet spots and/or musty odors. Correct moisture problems as soon as they are detected
  • Prevent moisture due to condensation by increasing surface temperature or reducing the moisture level in the air (humidity)
  • Keep heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) drip pans clean, flowing properly and unobstructed
  • Vent moisture-generating appliances, such as dryers, to the outside where possible
  • Perform regular building/HVAC inspections and maintenance as scheduled
  • Clean and dry-out wet or damp areas within 48 hours
  • Do not allow foundations to remain saturated. Provide drainage and slope the ground away from the foundation.
