A Dry Space Is a Mold-Free Space

Anywhere that you find mold is a space that had to have the right conditions for the mold to grow. That means that moisture of some quantity needs to be present, and it is imperative that the source of this moisture is located and corrected. If it isn't, then the mold will eventually return. Homeowners do themselves a lot of favors by working to keep their homes well ventilated, and to do routine maintenance and inspections to find and deal with small problems before they turn into big and expensive issues.
