Why Is It So Important to Treat for Mold in the Winter?<\/p><\/div>\n

Your Anti-Mold To-Do List for Winter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking these steps should be your priority as you work to prevent mold growth<\/a> in your home:<\/p>\n

– Make sure your home stays clean<\/p>\n

– Keep the air circulating<\/p>\n

– Check for moisture in the basement and repair any cracks in your foundation<\/p>\n

– Heat humid areas, and then open a window to let the moist air escape<\/p>\n

– Repair or replace all of the seals on your doors and windows<\/p>\n

What to do in Severe Weather to Prevent Mold<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you know, our area of the U.S. is prone to severe weather. This might mean heavy rain or snow, which could then lead to flooding. If this happens, it’s important to act fast. Keep temperatures lower in your home, which can keep mold from growing. You should also clean up any areas of standing water.<\/p>\n
