Yes. Mold spores are everywhere and all it takes is a little moisture for them to bloom into a colony that can make life miserable for millions. Yet keeping your home free of mold is as simple as 1-2-3:

1. Control Moisture – We need to be aware of places in our home where even a little bit of moisture can collect (see Where Mold Collects). Leaks in pipes need to be repaired. Your home should be inspected annually to be sure there are no roof or window leaks where water can enter the building. Humidity levels should be controlled so excess condensation does not occur.
2. Clean Areas With Mold Growth – Visible mold should be immediately cleaned with a product like BBJ Mold and Mildew Remover. It is important to use a product that is a fungicide (kills mold), mildewstat (keeps mildew from growing), and an effective cleaner in order to easily rid the contaminated area of mold.
3. Treat Areas To Inhibit Mold Growth – The reproductive cycle of mold can be inhibited with a unique product from BBJ Environmental Solutions. BBJ’s Mold Control for Floors and Walls is an antimicrobial that does not allow mold spores to reproduce. Lightly spraying window sills, areas below the sink, and wiping on the seal of refrigerator doors can help keep mold from returning.

Eliminating and controlling mold in your air conditioning system is more than the average homeowner may want to take on. We can help you locate a contractor in your area who can clean and treat your system with BBJ Mold Control for Air Conditioning Systems to keep it from growing back for up to six months.
