Dighton, Massachusetts, do you know??

Mold can be really good around the environment outside of your home, but not really good inside. It can cause damage to your homes structure, as well as health effects to you and your family if not taken care of. 

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency , these are things you should know about mold 

1: Eliminating "all" mold

There is actually no way to eliminate all mold in your environment. Mold spores are a natural occurrence and they can not be removed. The only time they are not good is when they're introduced to a moist, dark environment such as a basement or attic, for example. 

2: Sources of moisture 

It's important that you fix all leaks as soon as you spot them to prevent and reduce the possibility of mold growth. 

3: Reduce and monitor indoor humidity

If you keep your indoor humidity at around 30-60% you can decrease the potential of mold growth. 

• Have vents in your bathrooms and exhaust fans in your kitchens
• Use dehumidifiers when necessary 

4: Cleaning up spills and leaks 

Clean up and dry any spills or leaks right away to prevent mold growth. 

5: Carpeting 

If there is an area of your home that's prone to excessive moisture, it's best not to install carpeting there, it can be a host for mold growth.
