Mold is an unwelcome visitor to all DC area homes, but it doesn’t become a real problem until it decides to stay and set up shop. Mold can affect your family’s health with a wide range of symptoms and can even harm your pets. Many homeowners think that mold only grows in the dark areas of their homes, but that just isn’t true.
The max ventilation concept works well, right up until you realize that some areas have high humidity. That means that, instead of limiting moisture, all that hot, heavy, water-laden air moving through your crawlspace is creating a mold buffet. This is why the airy open floor plans of homes in Hawaii do nothing to help prevent the rampant mold growth Hawaiian Islanders deal with day in and day out. Even their electronic devices grow mold inside them, despite having cooling fans moving the air around constantly.
Basements, by design, aren’t good at exchanging air with the rest of your home, so don’t get the benefit of having the air dried by your HVAC system. To keep your basement dry, make sure that moisture isn’t coming in through the walls and add dehumidifiers, if needed, to keep the humidity down.
