Mold Prevention FAQs
What's the most important thing I can do to prevent mold?
Control moisture. Fix plumbing leaks immediately, maintain bathroom ventilation, keep humidity below 50%, and address any water intrusion promptly.
How often should I have a mold prevention inspection?
We recommend an annual inspection for homes in high-humidity coastal areas and for any home with prior mold history.
Do antimicrobial treatments last?
Treatments applied to structural surfaces provide long-term protection. The key factor is controlling moisture — antimicrobial treatment is most durable when the moisture source has been eliminated.
