Mold can spread quickly and cause serious damage to your home and health. At SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning, we want to help you stay ahead of mold with a few simple prevention tips.

First, control the moisture in your home. Mold thrives in damp environments, so fix any leaks in your plumbing, roof, or windows immediately. Use dehumidifiers in areas prone to moisture, like basements and bathrooms. Make sure your home is well-ventilated, especially when cooking, showering, or doing laundry.

Cleaning and drying wet areas within 24-48 hours is crucial to stopping mold before it starts. Regularly check high-risk areas like under sinks and in crawl spaces.

By taking these proactive steps, you can keep mold at bay. If you need help with mold prevention or remediation, contact us today at SERVPRO of Beaumont/Banning. We’re here to help protect your home!
