Since moisture is a leading cause of mold it is very
important to keep it at a level, if possible, where it does not start to breed
unwanted bacteria. We commonly call it
mold. One of the areas in the home that gets more moisture normally, than any
other area of the home, is the basement.
Basements also typically have the worst ventilation of the entire house,
so moisture usually has no way to escape, leading to mold contamination.
Thus, basement mold can be caused by a few of the following issues:
§ Condensation
in the basement can cause mold. Moisture condensates on the outside of pipes
because of the cool temperatures. If this moisture collects, mold will form.
§ Flooding water
that is not taken care of and removed immediately will lead to mold buildup.
Dangerous molds can grow in your basement if it is not dried, quickly following
a flood or any other type of water damage.
§ High
levels of humidity in your basement is yet another way for mold to grow in your
home.
§ Leaking
pipes, cracks in the home’s foundation, and leaking gutters can all bring more
moisture into the basement. If these leaks are not addressed immediately, mold
will build up rapidly. And while this
list is not exhaustive, there are so many more ways that moisture tries to find
a hiding place in the home.
Mold produces dangerous spores that can harm many people. People
with allergic reactions to mold and those with vulnerable immune systems are
especially susceptible to mold exposure. Other more dangerous types of mold,
such as toxic
molds, can cause damage to anyone, even if they are perfectly healthy. The CleanUP Guys are experts in
