Did you know? Moisture from rain, leaks, flooding or wet areas can lead to mold growth in your home — which can be harmful to your health. Being around mold can cause coughing, headaches and breathing problems, especially for people with asthma or other lung conditions.
📲
Small moldy areas can be cleaned with soap and water. For larger or hard-to-reach spots, consider hiring a professional. And keep in mind, testing for mold isn’t needed. If you see mold, smell a musty odor, notice water damage or see visible moisture, that’s enough to act. Focus on cleanup and fixing the moisture source to prevent mold from coming back.
