About Mold

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has compiled a list of the things you need to know about mold. This short list provides an idea of how important it is to address mold issues as soon as possible.

• Mold causes known health issues when humans are exposed to moldy areas, including upper respiratory problems, asthma, and allergic reactions.
• The key to controlling mold and spores indoors is by controlling the moisture. This means eliminating sources of moisture.
• Support the reduction of indoor humidity by using dehumidifiers, exhaust fans in the kitchen, and air conditioners. Reducing moisture may also require venting areas that generate moisture such as the bathroom and laundry room.
• Remove mold by cleaning with a solution of detergent and water, and allow to dry.
• Replace absorbent materials, such as ceiling tiles, that are moldy.
• Install adequate insulation to reduce the risk of condensation accumulation on cold surfaces.
• Do not install carpeting in areas susceptible to moisture such as in the bathroom.
• Mold is not limited to just building materials. Some species of mold can grow anywhere moisture is present including carpet, paper, and wood substances.
