    What Causes Mold?

    Mold in homes poses a serious issue due to excess moisture and poor ventilation. Key moisture sources include:

    High Humidity: Levels over 60% foster mold growth.

    Condensation: Cold surfaces can collect moisture from warm air.

    Leaks: Pipe or roof leaks introduce moisture.

    Water Damage: Flooding creates lasting dampness.

    Damp Spaces: Basements or crawlspaces often accumulate moisture.

    Poor Ventilation: Insufficient airflow in bathrooms, kitchens, or closets traps humidity.

  • Preventing Mold

    Mould thrives in damp, humid conditions, which means controlling moisture levels is key. Here are several effective strategies to prevent mould growth:

    Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation throughout your home. Open windows when possible, particularly in areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Installing Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems can significantly improve airflow and help control indoor humidity.

    Humidity Control: Keep indoor humidity levels below 60%. Use dehumidifiers in high-moisture areas and consider using exhaust fans to remove moisture from the air. Monitoring humidity levels with a hygrometer can help you stay on top of conditions.

    Insulation: Proper insulation is crucial in preventing condensation, which can lead to mould growth. Insulate external walls, lofts, and floors to maintain consistent temperatures and reduce the risk of damp patches.

    If mould is present or if you have persistent damp issues, it’s advisable to consult a professional specialist like Dovedale Dampcure Services Ltd for a thorough assessment and tailored solutions.
