Mold in the apartment - what now?

Many tenants and owners know the problem. If there is mold in the apartment, you should not put off removing it. Moisture is a multiplier of mold growth and the main reason when mold grows on the windows and in the corners of the room. Above a certain concentration, the development of fungus poses an increased health risk due to flying spores. In the long term, it also damages the furnishings, the plaster and the masonry. Act without hesitation when you spot mold in your home.

How to prevent mold in your home

To prevent the formation and spread of mold indoors, you need to be familiar with the living conditions of the fungus. The highest risk is high humidity and excessive temperatures. You can use a hygrometer to check the humidity in bathrooms and kitchens. Because this is where mold develops most often. You can also take precautions by airing the room regularly. If it is not possible to lower the humidity for various reasons, the operation of a dehumidifier can protect against the risk of mold growth.

In older properties, the exterior walls can be problematic and the main reason for mold growth in the home. With special coatings, which we at MVM AG would be happy to advise you on, you can prevent mold from forming. Leaving the windows in your rooms tilted all day is not effective. It is better if you ventilate the room several times a day to ensure an exchange of air and a reduction in humidity. Tip: By ventilating the room several times a day, you not only avoid mold, you also reduce your heating costs. Because oxygen-rich air heats up faster and is also important for your health.

What to do when it's too late

Mold removal is difficult. Even if the superficial traces are apparently easy to remove, the mold in the apartment usually sits deep under the wall covering and reappears within a short time. A new coat of paint is completely ineffective, even if it eliminates the visual defects. Because the mold continues to grow under the paint on the wall and reaches the surface again. If you discover mold, you should immediately consult a specialist such as MVM AG to prevent major efflorescence and serious damage to health.

We permanently remove mold with professional technology, know-how and Bioni System Food. This is how we ensure that you can live in your home without the risks of mold. Do not try to remedy this with a wet cloth or wall paint. It doesn't work and is at best a cover up, but it has nothing to do with professional and permanent mold removal.
