Moisture Testing Services

Since all of the elements occur on Long Island, making sure you are aware of moisture both inside and outside of the home is essential. Having a top Long Island moisture testing service can help you keep your home safe, healthy, and habitable.

Mold is a silent contaminant that is harmful to those that are exposed to it. It grows and spreads in moist, damp locations. Mold can be found on both the inside and outside of your home. Keeping your home from being at risk of avoiding the development of mold is all in the levels of moisture. Keeping on top of moisture in and around your home will help prevent any costly damage in the future. 

How to properly control potential mold growth

There are cleaning methods, and ways to keep your mold (or potential mold) in check.

Fixing leaky roofs, windows and pipes – Not only are having faulty roofs, windows, and pipes hazardous to you and your family because of potential physical damage to your home, they are optimal sources for mold to develop and spread. 

Keeping up with the humidity levels in your home. Humidity and moisture are key components for mold to thrive. Keeping control of the humidity levels in your home is the best way to avoid a mold problem altogether. Moisture testing services are essential to help you monitor and keep track of the levels of moisture in your home. 

Keeping shower and cooking areas well ventilated after use. Everyone likes a nice, hot shower on a cold day. Nothing wrong with that. Opening doors and windows after your shower can help get rid of the excess steam, and prevent the moisture from being trapped in your bathroom. Using the ventilation above the stove while cooking not only helps with the smell but also helps control and get rid of moisture that develops in and around your stove while cooking. 

Cleaning with diluted bleach – Using bleach diluted in water is another preventative way to cleaning areas that are prone to growing mold. Bleach is helpful in killing practically all mold species but only on non-porous surfaces. Tiles and countertops can be protected against mold, while wood and drywall cannot be bleach treated for mold. 

Keep up with the levels of humidity in your home: Your humidity levels should be no higher than 50%. Be mindful of temperature and humidity changes throughout the day; fluctuations in moisture (such as rain), can affect the moisture within the home. 

Add mold inhibitors to your paint. Believe it or not, paint is another product that can develop and grow mold. Using mold primers can help protect your walls and exterior when it’s time to give your home a fresh paint job.

Cleaning your bathroom and kitchen with mold-killing products. Using bleach to keep your bathroom and kitchen clean help prevent mold from growing. Keeping the tiles clean, and making sure they have a little bleach, is an effective way to keep your bathrooms and kitchens safe.

Carpets and upholstery are also common breeding grounds for mold. If any upholstery or carpet gets wet, and can’t be dried immediately, it needs to be removed or replaced. Not properly drying upholstery and carpeting is ideal for mold to develop and spread quickly. Get it out of your home! Keep it from spreading to other parts of your home by getting it out. Keeping rugs in bathrooms as dry as possible can help prevent mold in your bathrooms as well. 

Using a moisture testing service gives you the peace of mind that you are following through with the safety of your home. Monitoring the moisture of your home can help you take preventative measures in keeping your home healthy and structurally secure.

Long Island moisture testing is an incredibly important procedure when installing a new floor covering over concrete.  If there’s too much moisture under a floor covering, it can pop, accumulate mold, or cause the adhesive to come off. Our Long Island moisture testing company recommends having a test done before the flooring is installed to properly measure how much moisture is within the concrete, so the most suitable adhesive or floor covering can be used. We service Metro Area,  Long Island, Including: Bronx, Brooklyn,Queens, Manhattan, Huntington Station, Dix Hills , Massapequa, North Massapequa, and Mastic
