How to avoid mold on walls?
After removing mold residue on your walls, it’s important to take the proper steps to avoid moisture issues that lead to the development of these microscopic fungi. Keep in mind that excess moisture not only leads to mold, but also damages walls. In fact, when a wall is wet, the paint crumbles, and the wallpaper is damaged and peels off.

That is why it is advisable to ventilate the house daily, to renew the air inside, eliminate excess humidity and avoid condensation that forms on the windows. If the humidity in your home is high, you can use a dehumidifier.

Also check for any water leaks. In fact, water leaks from pipes or appliances, such as the dishwasher or washing machine, promote moisture in the walls. Also check for water leaks on the walls. Since the structure of the walls is porous, moisture easily infiltrates from the outside, especially if the insulation of the house is poor. This in effect reduces the impermeability of the walls.

Also, if you have a winery, don’t forget to see if they have any hair rise. This means the rise of moisture from the basement, or even from the floor, to the walls.

Thanks to these 4 tips, you will effectively and permanently remove the mold that damages your walls and irritates your lungs.
