I can control the growth of mold in my home?

Yes you can. Dry out homes and troubleshoot moisture in your home:
Stop water leaks, repair leaky roofs and plumbing. Keep the water from the concrete slabs and walls of the basement. Open Windows and doors, to increase the flow of air in your home, especially along the inside walls. Use the fan, if available, with no Windows. Make sure warm air flows in all areas of the House. Moving large objects within a few inches of the exterior walls to increase air circulation. Install and use exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. Ventilation and heat insulation of attic and crawl spaces. The use of heavy plastic to cover ground floors in the crawl space. Clean and dry water damaged carpets, clothing, bedding and upholstered furniture within 24-48 hours or consider withdrawing and replace damaged furniture. Vacuum and clean your House regularly to remove mould spores. Check around Windows for signs of condensation and dripping water. You can clean them immediately so the mold can begin to grow.
