If you live in a damp environment, you already know how annoying and even dangerous it can be to your health. But what can you do to prevent mold growth and improve indoor air quality? And if you are already struggling with this problem, how can you solve it safely and effectively?

The first thing to do if you have health problems caused by damp is to consult your doctor. Even if you already have a medical diagnosis, it is important to remove the causes of excessive moisture, restore the damage caused by mold, and dry the damp parts of the building. However, you should never proceed with mold removal alone, as this could cause even more damage to your health and the building itself.

After remediation, it is essential to ventilate the room frequently for several days and remove dust regularly. This is because mold spores spread through the indoor air, slowly fall to the ground and accumulate in house dust, causing health problems even after the mold itself is removed.



                                                                                      However, be aware that mold measurements, such as those taken in indoor air or house dust, are not suitable methods for assessing health risks. This means that even if you don't notice the presence of mold, you may still be exposed to high levels of harmful spores.

                                                                                      Here are some practical tips to prevent mold growth and improve indoor air quality:

                                                                                      - Keep your home well-ventilated: Open windows every day to circulate air. If you have a ventilation system, make sure it is working properly and clean it regularly.

                                                                                      - Reduce humidity: Use dehumidifiers or fans to reduce the humidity in the air. Make sure your appliances, such as your washer and dryer, are well connected to drain lines to prevent moisture from escaping.

                                                                                      - Heating: Keep your home properly heated to prevent condensation.

                                                                                      - Insulation: Make sure the building's insulation is adequate to prevent moisture.

                                                                                      - Rising damp in cellars: basements and ground floors: request a free diagnosis from Murtronic to assess the situation and solve the root of the problem naturally and non-invasively.

Always remember to consult a professional if you experience health problems caused by moisture, and don't try to remove mold on your own. Your health is important, and safety should always be the top priority.
