Toms River Mold Prevention Seminar Sponsored by Better Homes Realty


<!-- Page Number: 29-->

Molds are living organisms that grow in damp places in your home. They stain or discolor surfaces and smell musty. There are hundreds of thousands of different types of mold.

Mold can grow almost anywhere: on walls, ceilings, carpets or furniture. Humidity or wetness, caused by water leaks, spills from bathtubs or showers or condensation, can cause mold to grow in your home.

Mold spores are tiny particles that float through the air. These can sometimes cause health problems. Mold does not affect everyone, and different people are affected differently

when mold is breathed or inhaled.

People with allergies to mold may get: watery eyes, runny or stuffed noses, itching, headaches and difficulty breathing.

Mold can also trigger asthma attacks. Some molds produce toxins (poisons) that may be hazardous if people are exposed to large amounts of these molds. Mold spores and related mycotoxins can also pose a serious health threat to individuals who have compromised immune systems.

What can you do, to prevent and get rid of mold? Keep your house clean and dry.

Fix water problems such as roof leaks, wet basements and leaking pipes or faucets.

Make sure your home is well ventilated and always use ventilation fans in bathrooms and kitchens.

If possible, keep humidity in your house below 50 percent by using an air conditioner or dehumidifier.

Avoid using carpeting in areas of the home that may become wet, such as kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
