Annihilate The Possibility Of Mold In Your HOA

Your home and the homeowners association have many areas that need to be monitored in order to minimize damages and ensure residents stay healthy.  Mold is one problem that can cause significant damage in a home since it may grow anywhere and take time to notice without a homeowner association website.  Fortunately, there are signs to watch for so you eliminate mold before it becomes a problem.  Do you know the signs and causes of mold in your home?

 

 

The first step to wipe out a mold problem is to know what causes it and make sure those causes are weakened or removed.  The major cause of mold in a home is due to moisture.  Humidity is likely to increase your chances for mold if you are too close to a body of water or the shoreline.  A home with poor ventilation also allows moisture to accumulate and mold growth to ensue.

 

Typical causes of mold include leaking pipes, a leaking roof, and condensation due to cold surfaces.  Problems associated with mold go beyond damage to your home as it can also cause several problems related to your health.  Toxins and allergens are produced by mold so your immune system creates an allergic reaction when you breathe in mold spores.  Some residents may experience flu like symptoms, sore throat, sinus congestion, coughing, sneezing, and difficulty breathing.

 

 

In order to control mold, you need to control the moisture in your home to prevent it from ever turning into a problem.  The best way to do this is to monitor areas of your home where there is plumbing and dry out any area that becomes damaged by water.  If you have a problem with mold, contact a board member through the homeowner association website to implement corrective measures to eliminate it!
