Moisture Control in Buildings is Essential to Prevent the Growth of Mold

FRANKFORT, Ill. - Feb. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- In December of last year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a new document about moisture control in buildings.  “Moisture Control Guidance for Building Design, Construction and Maintenance” was developed by the agency’s Indoor Environments Division.  The 144 page document discusses moisture control from health implications to designing, constructing, operating and maintaining a building.

The guide states, “Moisture control is fundamental to the proper functioning of any building. Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage. Yet, moisture problems are so common in buildings, many people consider them inevitable.”

Excessive moisture damages materials, lowers property values and results in the growth of mold in and on buildings of all types.  One of the leading providers of professional grade solutions for preventing the growth of mold and remediation products for properties that already have a microbial problem is FastMoldRemoval.com.

“Building moisture leads to billions of dollars in costs associated with medical care, lost productivity, building damage and lower property values,” said Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com.  “The new EPA document states that Berkeley Lab estimates that just the annual asthma-related medical costs attributable to exposures to dampness and mold total approximately $3.5 billion in the United States.  This number is staggering and there is so much that can be done with pretreatments to help prevent the growth of mold in the first place.  Of course moisture issues need to be addressed in any type of building that has a problem and when mold is discovered, it needs to be properly addressed.  At FastMoldRemoval.com we provide the products, applicators and personal protective equipment necessary to quickly and safely prevent or remove mold issues.”
