Preventing dampness and mold indoors hinges on effective moisture control. This involves not only addressing existing issues promptly but also proactively preventing them. Troublesome areas to watch include air-conditioning units, basements, attics, crawl spaces, bathrooms, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and refrigerator drip pans. Here are key measures to take:
Maintain indoor humidity levels below 50 percent.
Rectify any leaks promptly.
Enhance air circulation and ventilation.
Use exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen to minimize moisture.
Keep appliance drip pans clean.
Regularly and thoroughly clean areas prone to mold growth.
Be on the lookout for these telltale signs indicating a dampness problem:
A musty odor
Moisture on hard surfaces
Water stains indicating leaks or condensation
