A Homeowner's Guide to Mold Prevention

Mold can grow in as little as 24-48 hours. Controlling moisture is the key to prevention. Here are the top 3 problem areas our Valley Forge, TN team sees:

1. Basements & Crawl SpacesThe Problem: These areas are naturally cool and damp, making them a perfect breeding ground. Moisture can come from foundation cracks, poor drainage, or high humidity.The Solution:Control Humidity: Run a dehumidifier to keep the relative humidity below 50%.Check Drainage: Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear and directing water far away from your foundation.Seal Your Crawl Space: Consider crawl space encapsulation to create a vapor barrier, which is a highly effective solution our team can discuss with you.
2. AtticsThe Problem: In winter, warm, moist air from your living space (from cooking, showers) rises into the cold attic. If ventilation is poor, this moisture condenses on the underside of the roof deck, leading to mold.The Solution:Check Ventilation: Ensure your soffit vents (intake) and ridge vents (exhaust) are not blocked by insulation.Check Exhaust Fans: Make sure your bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans vent outside and not into the attic.
3. Bathrooms & KitchensThe Problem: These are high-humidity "wet" areas. Leaks under sinks or behind dishwashers can go unnoticed.The Solution:Use Your Exhaust Fan: Run your bathroom fan during and for at least 20 minutes after every shower.Check for Leaks: Regularly check under your sinks for any small drips or signs of water stains. A small, slow leak is a perfect source for mold.

Mold Remediation FAQs

I smell a "musty" odor but don't see mold. What does that mean?This is a classic sign of hidden mold. Mold can grow behind drywall or under carpets. Call Leading Remediation Tennessee for a professional inspection.
Can't I just spray it with bleach?No. Bleach does not kill the root of the mold on porous surfaces (like drywall) and releases millions of spores into the air, making the problem worse.

Valley Forge, TN Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

In 1751, there was a forge at the mouth of the East Valley creek used to convert pig-iron into bar-iron. It was advertised for sale as the property of Daniel Walker, Stephen Evans, and Joseph Williams. It was originally called Mount Joy forge, but it came to be known as Valley Forge. The pig-iron used at Valley Forge was hauled from Warwick furnace. The British burned it in September 1777, and George Washington entrenched the Continental Army in December on the Montgomery County side of Valley creek, opposite Valley Forge. General Washington's headquarters were established at the substantial stone house of Isaac Potts. After the Revolutionary War, another Valley Forge was built on the other side of Valley creek; it was in ruins in 1816.
