Preventing Microbial Growth

A common occurrence in older homes is microbial growth.  Often times, people do not realize they have a growth issue until it gets out of hand.  Before microbial growth takes over your home, let SERVPRO of Texarkana help guide you with some easy tip to help your home be microbial growth resistant.

1.  Identify problem areas in your home such as condensation on a window or a damp area in your home.   

2.  Next, you must fix that problem area! Remove material that doesn't dry.  Call SERVPRO of Texarkana to help you figure out where moisture is after any water loss occurs.

3. Make sure your home is properly ventilated.  Vent appliances to the outside and when you are showering or bathing, don't forget to turn on the bathroom vent in order to help remove moisture in the air.  

In our next blog, we will tackle some more tips on how to help your home stay free of microbial growth.  And remember, when you are concerned about a microbial growth issue, call SERVPRO of Texarkana today to schedule a visual inspection at 903-832-4400.  We are always here to help!
