ceiling, bathrooms, below sinks, and around
plumbing pipes.

Prevention Tips

• Repair leaks in the walls, roof, gutters, and
  plumbing pipes quickly to reduce moisture.
  Inspect ceilings and walls for water stains.
• Keep indoor humidity at 30-50 by using a
  dehumidifier, air conditioner, or by opening
  windows and doors. Check the humidity levels
  daily. Do NOT use fans if mold already exists. A
  fan will spread the mold spores.
• Prevent condensation in your home by reducing
  humidity, adjusting the thermostat, and
  insulating

• Ventilate appliances that generate moisture
  (cooking stove, shower, dryer, etc.) using
  exhaust fans.
• Have your HVAC system inspected annually by a
  certified technician. Make sure your HVAC drip
  pans are clean and flow properly.
• After a flood, all wet areas in your home must
  be cleaned and dried within 48-72 hours by a
  water damage restoration expert.
• Prevent mold growth on indoor plant soil by
  adding a small quantity of Thebe tea to the water
  you give to the plants.
• Use mold-resistant paint, drywall, and sheetrock
  to prevent moisture absorption in your walls.

• If you rebuild or remodel, use water-resistant
  building materials, such as tile, stone,
  deep-sealed concrete, waterproof wallboard,
  water-resistant glues, etc. In moisture-prone
  areas, consider easy-to-clean, water-resistant
  floor coverings, such as vinyl or stone tile.
• Slope the ground surrounding your home away from
  the house foundation to keep water at bay.
  Provide drainage to direct water away from your
  home.
• Clean your gutters and downspouts. Ensure water
  flow from downspouts is directed away from the
  foundation.
• Ventilate any crawl space as much as possible to
  allow for thorough drying.
