Basement Mold

Condensation is usually more noticeable on skylights because warm, moist air rises to the ceiling. The problem, however, usually isn't the skylight, it's the excess moisture in the room. 

Skylights are often installed in bathrooms but sometimes in bedrooms and kitchens. The appeal is understandable. Skylights window, are defined as windows installed at an angle. While they look pretty down the road they can lead to uncomfortable conversations.

The key to mold control is moisture control. Managing excess moisture in your home can help prevent the growth of mold. Monitoring your home regularly will help to keep the mold to a minimum.

Open your skylights to reduce humidity and to allow air to circulate. This will reduce the build up of moisture, which is the biggest cause of Mold. If you have condensation built up in the winter run a fan to circulate the air around the area.

Mold will never be anyone's idea of a welcome house guest, but with preventive steps you can be insured you will never have to fear those three letter words: "you have mold"
