In order to prevent your home from suffering mold damage, take these preventative actions: 

-Reduce humidity-keep humidity levels in the home between 30 to 60 percent by using air conditioners and dehumidifiers. 

-Use exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.

-Do not install carpets in damp areas such as bathrooms or basements.

-Use mold-reducing products to clean bathrooms.

-Add mold inhibitors to paints before application.

-Keep pipes, faucets, and hoses from leaking.

-Keep gutters clean to maintain your roof.
