Mold growth in a home can have very negative effects. Even beyond the significant health problems that can come from prolonged exposure to mold, the act of mold remediation can be extremely costly and time-consuming, and should only be done by a professional. One of the most common places that homeowners find mold is in their bathroom. The reason for this is that the bathroom is home to all kinds of moisture, which mold thrives on.
Fortunately, there are a number of things that a homeowner can do to control the moisture in the bathroom, and thereby prevent the growth of mold. One of the most important things you can do is to make sure the exhaust fan in your bathroom is clean and in good working order. If you don’t have an exhaust fan, be sure to install one. In addition to increased air flow, you should remove wet objects from your bathroom as soon as possible, and repair water leaks as fast as you can.
