Simple Tips to Increase Air Flow in Your Home

by Catherine 1:43 pm

When you think about thwarting mold growth, sunlight and ample air flow are your best friends. Proper air flow regulates home temperature and removes impurities. Therefore, something as simple as increasing air flow in your home can prevent mold growth from ever occurring. Wouldn’t that be the best scenario for your family?

I decided to put together this “cheat sheet” of sorts to help you capitalize on and maximize air flow in your home. If you already have or suspect water intrusion, or mold growth, these tips are not for you. For that, I would advise you to hire a mold remediation professional to come out, assess the situation, and offer their professional advice. These tips are uncomplicated changes that you can make without having to hire a contractor or mold professional. They just require you to look at your home a little differently. If you are being proactive about protecting your family, sometimes the simplest changes breed the greatest rewards.
