                     Mold Prevention Tips

• Keep humidity levels as low as you can - no higher than 50% - all day long. An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the level low. Keep in mind the humidity levels change over the course of a day with changes in the moisture in the air and the air temperature, so you will need to check the humidity levels more than once a day.
• Be sure your home has enough ventilation.Use exhaust fans which vent outside your home in the kitchen and bathroom.
• Fix any leaks in your home's roof, walls, or plumbing.
• Clean up and dry out your home thoroughly and quickly (within 24-48 hours) after flooding.
• Remove or replace carpets and upholstery that have been soaked and cannot be dried promptly.
