Five Fall Mold Prevention Tips

Our Tips

  • Wash outdoor furniture and tools before storing them for the fall and winter. Make sure they are completely dry and as clean as possible before you put them away.
  • Clean any fallen leaves out of your gutters. Leaves can hold and trap moisture, creating a prime environment for mold growth. The clogs can also cause water leaks that can seep into your home. 
  • Rake up the leaves that pile up around the exterior of your home. Much like keeping your gutters clean, this can prevent water from building up and running down into your home. 
  • Perform a quick inspection of the visible pipes in your home to make sure there are no unaddressed leaks. 
  • As always, run a fan or dehumidifier to keep the air moving and cut down on the humidity in your home. If warm weather extends into the season or returns from time to time, you can also open your windows to circulate air.
