Mold and mildew are serious health risks and they should be treated as such. They can affect your health and especially respiratory organs if you’re subjected to them for a long time. This is especially a concern for those with asthma or other respiratory problems. It’s best to make sure that your home is mold-free even if you’re otherwise healthy.
This is done by removing the conditions that make it possible for mold to appear in the first place. That’s usually dampness and darkness since that’s where mold usually grows. Basements are therefore an especially attractive part of your property for these fungi.
Make sure that the basement is properly waterproofed and that excess moisture is removed from it and you won’t have issues with mold ever again.
