                Be on the watch for the following in your home:

  1. Plumbing problems- common leaks such as from a toilet or a sink may go unnoticed and can cause mold growth. Be sure to check areas lie these regularly
  2. Flooding- if your home is flooded due to heavy rain be sure to have your home dried out by professionals to make sure no moisture is left behind and mold cannot grow. We here at SERVPRO Bennington and Rutland Counties are well equipped to handle your water mitigation needs as well.
  3. Roof leaks- keep your roof in good condition, making sure there are no leaks. And frequently check you attic yearly for moisture build up.
  4. Foundation problems- Soil that is around your home should always be sloped downward and away from your home to prevent water from entering your basement and flooding.
  5. Wipe down walls- after you shower moisture sits on those walls which can lead to mold growth. Best way to prevent this is wiping those walls down with towel or sponge every time after you bathe.
  6. Air flow- be sure that there is enough air flow in your home, exhaust fans can be used in your kitchens and bathrooms to vent outside your home.
  7. Humidity- keep the humidity levels in your home less than 50%
  8. Natural light- allow the sun into your home, mold grows best in dark environments so natural light can help prevent growth.
