Plumbing issues are one of the main factors contributing to mold growth. If you notice that you have a leaky pipe you should call a plumbing company to fix it as soon as you can.

Mold is attracted to moist areas and by not fixing a leak or any other problem you will be helping promote mold growth.

2. Throw out any items that are contaminated

If you find anything in your home that has been contaminated instead of trying to clean it we recommend you throw it out. Especially if it is an item that is hard to dry such as carpet, fabric, tiles or wooden furniture.

3. Watch your humidity levels

It's very important that you keep the humidity levels in your home under control have your humidity level at the recommended level is a good way to ensure that your home stays healthy. Your relative humidity level should ideally be around 30-40% depending on the season.
