Preventing Mold with spray foam insulation

Mold is one of your worst enemies at home or where you work. It is harmful to your health, it spreads quickly, ruins furniture and walls, and the smell penetrates everywhere and lingers long after.

One of the easiest ways to get rid of this harmful "monster" is to prevent it from forming, and if it appears to treat it in time with spray foam insulation in toronto.

There is no way to deal with the spotted enemy while you have a wet wall. No matter how many cosmetic mold removal exercises you do, they are unlikely to help you in the long run. Before proceeding with the removal of the mold itself, make sure that you have removed all the prerequisites for the appearance of moisture on the walls.

How to prevent the appearance of mold?

The only long-term and safe method to prevent mold is to stop all available leaks, as well as to reduce condensation in the rooms around us with spray foam insulation.

Leaks - the penetration of water and moisture outside the structure into the premises is a common problem in older buildings or in those where there is no waterproofing or it is poorly executed. Leaks can be caused by a number of reasons, such as: clogged or incorrectly installed rainwater gutters, poor quality plaster, rain seeping from the roof, lack or poor waterproofing in the foundations of the building, etc. Repairing these problems is the only way out for safe protection from moisture.

Condensation - Two things are needed to form condensation - moist air and a cold surface. Humidity in the room is increased by everything that emits water vapor, such as flowers, cooking, laundry, washing, people in the room and more. When moist air reaches cold surfaces such as exterior walls, window frames and glass, moisture condenses on them. Prevention of moisture condensation is done by taking measures regarding:

The temperature in the home and office - the heating of the rooms should be even (try to reduce the difference in temperature of the individual rooms). The air in a warmer room will always try to pass into the colder ones. This will form condensation. It is especially important to maintain a relatively constant temperature throughout the home or office. It is optimal to be between 19 24 and 24 ℃. 

Heating mode - if you heat the room for only a few hours a day, even with good external insulation, you risk condensation, as the short time the heating works is often not enough to heat the walls. In this case, the thermo-ceramic paints will help.
