Understanding Mold and Mildew Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mold and mildew need a moist environment to establish and spread. The spores are always present in the air we breathe to some degree. But in order for them to latch onto surfaces and spread, they need the right environmental factors. The problem with this is that once mold and mildew take hold, more of the spores enter the air and make an infestation even harder to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective Strategies for Mold and Mildew Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to addressing a mold or mildew problem in your home is to find the source of the problem. If you have a leak or high humidity levels in your home, these need to be addressed before you can get rid of the mold and keep it from coming back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, you\u2019ll fight a losing battle against mold as it continues to grow back again and again. Address leaks and repair any broken seals and windows and doors so that mold doesn\u2019t have a chance to grow back again after you clean and eliminate it this time.\u00a0To understand how air purifiers can help create healthier indoor air, read this helpful article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After addressing the source of the mold growth, it\u2019s time to clean away any existing infestation. There may be times when you can do this on your own with bleach cleaners, but other times you may need to call it in for professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How an Air Purifier Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have an infestation under control, you can prevent future problems by investing in a whole-house air purifier. We already mentioned that mold and mildew spores are always in the air around us. An air purifier helps to eliminate the spores from the air circulating through your home, so that you can breathe easier. With less spores in the air, there\u2019s also less of a chance that the spores will be able to take hold and develop into an infestation on surfaces around your home.\u00a0To better understand air purifier types and how they work, check out this comprehensive overview<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An air purifier works around the clock to constantly filter air and improve your indoor air quality. The only maintenance required for these unique systems is changing out the filter or UV light once each year. It\u2019s a step that our team can complete during your annual HVAC maintenance appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
