Unhealthy Mold Grows in Wet Basements
Installing a flood sensor will protect your home from damage and, more important, protect your health from harmful mold.
Mold and mildew flourish in dark places, and your basement can be a prime area, if it is vulnerable to flooding. Mold spores can be carried through your air-conditioning system to other parts of your home.
Before you know it, you have a sick home and unhealthy is remaining indoors causing family members to suffer from respiratory problems, like allergies and asthma.
Your best bet may be a flood sensor that will detect the earliest signs of trouble. Once you have the early warning system in place, take steps to end mold growth in your basement.
If mold already is a problem, you need to clean up the mold and eliminate sources of moisture.
Fix the source of the water problem. This may involve installing a sump pump.
Run a dehumidifier in your basement every day.
Immediately clean and dry building materials and furnishings. You have 24-48 hours before mold will start to grow.
Get rid of moldy carpets and don't put down new carpeting in areas that may flood.
