Mold strikes a garage window in Sharon, MA

MOLD: The very word is enough to make a person cringe. 

Mold can be good- it's essential in making brie and penicillin, for example, and necessary for the decomposition of organic matter in nature-but it can also be very, very bad, especially when it grows undetected in your home. Mold can grow anywhere: on carpet, clothing, food, paper, and even in places you can't see such as the backside of drywall, areas inside walls around leaking or condensing pipers, and above ceiling tiles.

Here are nine ways to curb moisture indoors, and the mold that thrives on it. 

1: Identify problems areas in your home and correct them.

2: Dry wet areas immediately.

3: Prevent moisture with proper ventilation

4: Equip your home with mold-resistance products.

5: Monitor Humidity indoors.

6: Direct water away from your home.

7: Clean or repair roof gutters.

8: Improve air flow in your home.

9: keep mold off household plants.
