Preventing the moisture

Preventing moisture is essential. If mold is growing near the sink, tub, or toilet, you should stop water from reaching those areas. Cover leaks in the roof or windows with a plastic tarp until they can be repaired. In addition, you should clean the sink and bathroom daily to prevent the rapid reproduction of mold. If the indoor humidity is too high, people should use a dehumidifier and everyone should keep the doors closed to prevent moisture in the home and prevent mold growth.

If possible, seal off the black mold part of the house by sticking plastic sheeting on the door. If the leak has been repaired and the area is dry, it's a good idea to clean up any mold before reusing it so it doesn't spread to other areas. Basement areas and corners are the most moisture-prone areas of your home. Therefore, you should install moisture screens when necessary and use a special mulch to ensure that moisture from the soil does not enter the space.
