Homes over the years have been built to prevent water damage and the spread of mold.  As a homeowner the importance of your home being built to withstand the prevention of mold and moisture is crucial.  It is no secret that  moisture can cause structural damage.

There are many reasons why moisture develops in a home that homeowners are possibly unaware of:

1.  Homeowners have requested that some builders add insulation to help cut heat loss and heat gain. Then there is the caulking to seal for cracks, gaps, joints and weather stripping, which plugs up air leaks around doors and windows keeping heat in. Surprise, surprise these techniques trap heat in the home allowing for high levels of moisture to form.

Don’t be defeated the market is filled with moisture resistant building products to help protect your home against moisture problems that can develop into mold damage. Moisture resistant wood is ideal for eliminating such problems. Mold and moisture is prevalent in newer model homes. Tightly built newer homes can be severely damaged by lack of ventilation and excess moisture. Moisture can become trapped and can spread to the wood, where it can condense back to a liquid form. If wood gets wet and wood stays wet, then fungal decay attacks and bacteria spreads.

2.  Homes with air leaks, and lack of control moisture, especially in the winter, can be a huge reason for the spread of bacteria and structural damage.  Poorly insulated walls and ceilings, again in the winter, can be a contributing factor to moisture and mold problems.  During the summer concrete temperature can cool and moisture begins to condense.  A huge problem that happens in most every home, unless addressed, is moisture condensing on your toilet tank and then dripping to the floor of the bathroom resulting in mold.  Lastly pipes that are wet in the summer run the risks of developing mold issues.

3.  High humidity, in hot areas or during the summer have a likelihood of developing potential mold growth and spreading.  As much as homeowners are doing everything necessary to make their homes energy efficient, shortcuts or lack of knowledge leaves them in a home that can hurt their health and damage their house. Solving the moisture and mold problem requires a home restoration professional skilled in removing moisture, cleaning and killing mold problems.

Not repairing and removing mold or moisture problems can turn into a headache for a homeowner as well as a financial burden. Some instances already mentioned can be a red light that an expert mold remediation contractor needs to be called in for an inspection.
