Cowleys has the Know-How to Keep the Air in Your Home Healthier

Often, mold growth is not in plain view. It is hidden in those non-living rarely ventured-into spaces of your home like basements, crawl spaces, and attics. When it comes to the health consequences of indoor mold growth, there is no difference between visible mold and hidden mold. With hidden mold, what you can’t see, CAN hurt you!

 

With dropping fall temperatures, we will be spending a lot more time indoors. A mold-free home with good indoor air quality is essential for you and your family to stay healthy.

 

When it comes to mold, one area of a home deserves special recognition: Ventilated crawl spaces. They are notorious for mold problems. Why? Although ventilated crawl spaces may sound like a good idea, they are the cause of many homeowner headaches. Ventilated crawl spaces roll out the welcome mat for outdoor moisture and humidity. Damp outdoor air flows through the vents, cracks, and gaps of your home’s foundation, not to mention all of the moisture coming from the soil floor. These rarely visited subterranean spaces, especially during the humid summer months, can easily turn this space into a mold-breeding factory.

And mold spreads and spreads. Microscopic mold spores from your crawl space will travel on air currents throughout your home landing on moist surfaces and forming new colonies. If you are smelling pungent earthy odors in your home or family members are experiencing chronic allergy-like respiratory problems, you may well have hidden crawl space mold. If you think that mold growing in the far off corners of your crawl space is harmless, think again.
