When building a home today, the design should consider keeping the home safe from mold. Some of the ways this can be achieved is during the planning stages of building. Advise your architect the importance in keeping your home a mold free home. Make sure drainage of water run off from the roof are directed through the gutters to slope away from the home. Also, today metal studs can be used in place of wooden studs. Price may increase a bit, but in the overall health of your home, it will pay for itself over time. Mold needs water/moisture and anything organic to thrive and grow. Wood is organic and mold is attracted to it. If it is left long enough mold can eat away at the wood.

Another point is to make sure that your AC or HVAC system is the best energy efficient system to keep the air always circulating in your home. Due to the energy efficiency way of building today, our homes do not breathe or ventilate like older homes. This is a good thing for energy efficiency. Proper air circulation is of utmost importance. Another thing that should be built into your home is proper venting. The attic needs proper ventilation; also your bathrooms should ventilate the moisture out of the house when the shower is in use. Just having the ventilation system is important; remembering to use it every time is just as important!

In the kitchen, which is another source of moisture building up from using the stove, make sure proper ventilation over the cook top is built into the house and used.

If you have a basement, it is always a good idea to have a dehumidifier either built in as part of the HVAC or free standing. Basements are usually dark and damp. Always ask your builder if there is a way to keep the moisture down while building the foundation or basement.

Being aware of what attracts mold to your home will help you keep your home mold free. What you as the homeowner can do is be aware and be pro active in keeping the conditions in your home dry and less attractive to the mold spores that will enter your home. Without what they need to feed and survive, they will not grow. Keep your home a mold safe home.
