Do you have an attic or crawl space in your home? Have you ever looked in these spaces closely? It is important for homeowners to keep an eye on their home for unwanted visitors like mold. Check the wood underneath your house, as mold growth could indicate a home with too much moisture, which can cause damage to the joists that support the floors in your home. Over time, this can cause damage and weaken the structure of your home, leading to the possibility of expensive repairs down the line. In addition, mold is a common allergen and can contribute to your family’s allergy symptoms. As part of my energy audit, I will review these areas and evaluate your home’s moisture levels. I have tools that can evaluate the moisture level in our home. If high moisture is a problem in your home, I can suggest solutions to help mitigate long-term damage to your home.
