Causes and Factors of Mold Growth in Arcadia, CA
Mold is often found growing in high-moisture environments, including plumbing leaks or damages to water pipes. HVAC problems, roof leaks, or high indoor humidity levels can all lead to increased mold growth in buildings of various ages. Ventilation problems or material defects within construction materials can aggravate it further.
Controlling Moisture Levels to Prevent Future Mold Remediation Needs
Maintaining moisture levels to combat mold effectively requires regular inspections to check for plumbing issues, leaks, and areas with high humidity levels. Property owners should strive to lower humidity levels by installing dehumidifiers, opening windows, or using exhaust fans. This is especially beneficial in basements and crawl spaces where mold thrives more readily than elsewhere.
