Moisture Problems
Identifying moisture sources and preventing mold conditions.
Moisture is the primary driver of mold growth. Understanding humidity levels, condensation patterns, and water intrusion sources is essential for mold prevention. Properties in humid climates face elevated baseline risk, while all buildings are vulnerable to specific moisture events.
Key Points
- Mold grows when humidity exceeds 60%
- Condensation on surfaces indicates moisture problems
- Common sources: plumbing leaks, roof issues, HVAC problems
- Proper ventilation is the first line of defense
