It may sound funny, but have you ever given much thought to the air you breathe while you are at home? Obviously, living with second hand smoke can be an issue but there are other hazards to be concerned with as well. In a cold, wet place like the Northeast, you have probably seen your fair share of mold. Mold is a dangerous thing to have around as it can be unhealthy to inhale, especially for young children, elderly adults and people living with asthma.
It is important to first and foremost, keep your home well ventilated. Keep a steady flow of fresh air moving through your home. Install fans in the kitchen and bathrooms of your home and make sure to use them. Mold can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed. It can come from plumbing leaks, rain or groundwater buildup. If you have any leaks or any excessive buildup of moisture, make sure to address those issues right away. Wet drywall needs to be replaced immediately or dried out using professional fans.
