How to prevent mold in Heritage Hills

These steps fit the conditions in this part of town:

Inspect the roof after hail and have damaged shingles or flashing repaired quickly.
Test and clear the air conditioner condensate line each summer and watch for drips from ducts.
Replace basement bathroom and wet-bar supply lines on a regular schedule and check for slow leaks.
Keep window wells clear and make sure downspouts and grading carry water away from the house.
Run bathroom fans and keep humidity between 30 and 50 percent, particularly in airtight homes.
Add a leak sensor near the water heater, washer and basement bathroom.

What to do if you find mold in Heritage Hills

Stop the water source if you can, keep the area dry and avoid disturbing the mold. Do not run fans that blow across the growth. Take photos, then call us for a visit.

A Heritage Hills job follows the same sequence as every other: we find the mold and the moisture source, set containment and negative air, remove affected materials, clean, dry and document. If you want sampling or a clearance check afterward, an independent assessor does that so the results stay impartial.
