H2O 911 Restoration - Alva Mold Remediation

Ten things you can do to prevent Alva mold from growing inside your home

First and foremost; if anything gets wet in your home; dry it out with air movement and dehumidification if necessary. The idea is to draw moisture out of materials like drywall and wood products

Second; maintain your Air conditioning unit. The A/C equipment not only cools but also dehumidifies your home. Put an Alva antimicrobial tab in your A/C drain pan, change the return filters every 30-60 days, keep the drain lines clear with a shop vacuum and keep the cooling coils and compressor coils clean.

Third; Vent your attic space and check the A/C ducting for cold air leaks. Cold air in a hot attic causes condensation and can wet you insulation and the back of your drywall ceilings.

Fourth; Calk and seal all wall penetrations to prevent warm moist air from contacting the cool dry air in your home. Condensation again.
