How You and Lightspeed Restoration Can Both Work to Protect Your Home 

As temperatures increase and days lengthen, so does the potential for unwanted mold within our houses. Summer arrives with heat and an increase in humid weather, creating an ideal environment for mold to breed, which can jeopardize property and health. Acting now can significantly reduce the chances of a mold invasion.  

Homeowner Habits: Your First Line of Defense Against Mold 

Fortunately, there are several things that homeowners can do that will lower the chances of mold development when temperatures increase:  

  • Maintain Low Indoor Humidity: Mold loves moisture. Use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements and bathrooms, and always run exhaust fans when cooking or showering to keep humidity levels in check.  
  • Fix Leaks Right Away: Leaks from air conditioners, plumbing, or roofs, even tiny ones, provide ample opportunity for mold to grow. Check regularly and address promptly. 
  • Better Air Circulation: Stagnant air holds moisture. Keep windows open occasionally (when outside air is dry) for cross ventilation, and employ a fan for indoor air circulation. 
  • Keep it Clean: Daily cleaning helps eliminate dust and organic materials that mold feeds on. Pay special attention to damp-prone areas such as shower curtains and window sills.  
  • Ventilating At-Risk Spaces: Closets and storage areas should be adequately ventilated to avoid moisture buildup. Wet items should not be placed in areas where ventilation is limited.  

Professional Mold Inspections Can Help 

While homeowner involvement is critical, a professional mold assessment can be an excellent method of determining where mold exists and what should be the next step. Experts at Lightspeed Restoration carry out comprehensive assessments that extend beyond visible signs. Our first step is tracking moisture pockets that can support mold organisms with thermal imagery and probing moisture meters. This proactive approach allows for the timely identification of mold-supportive conditions, providing ample opportunities for correction before larger issues develop later on.
