Ice and snow are water, which may seem like a no-brainer, but water causes mold to grow. As snow and ice melt, it can enter your property through your roof, gutters, attics, and basements. Snowmelt is known to cause water damages and can create enormous problems for your property. Below, we will discuss ways to prevent mold from forming on your property.

Check Areas For Water Damages

Mold needs water to grow in homes. If you do not have water damages, it is unlikely you will see mold growth. The primary way to prevent mold is to check your property for water damages. Checking your attic, basement, gutters, and roof are simple ways to avoid water damage. If you see any water damages, it is crucial to call a professional disaster cleanup company for water removal and water restoration. If all water is not properly removed, mold will grow.

Once mold begins to grow, it breeds quickly, and you will begin to see mold stains and have an odd or musty smell in your home. If you see mold stains, call a professional immediately. Mold has already grown out of control, and you will need mold remediation to remove all the mold from your property.
If you do not have any water damages, you can prevent mold growth by using proper ventilation in areas such as your bathroom and kitchen. These are common areas for condensation to occur, which can lead to mold growth. This Spring play it safe and keep an eye out for any water damages, excess condensation, or mold growth. If you see any of the above, contact Disaster Cleanup Services. We will be able to find the source of the problem, remove excess water and mold, and treat the area to ensure no mold will grow.
