Mold from a leak growing on walls and ceiling

Mold is everywhere inside and outside of our homes.  Given the right conditions (food, moisture, heat, humidity), mold can grown out of control and become unsightly, cause property damage, and even cause health issues.

The number one way to prevent the growth of mold in your home is to fix leaks and dry the area as quickly as possible.  Proper insulation around pipes and in homes can prevent condensation.  Proper ventilation and air movement can aid in keeping things dry.  Dehumidifiers are helpful in reducing humidity levels in your home to safer levels.
