When it comes to ensuring a healthy indoor climate in your home, it is important to be aware of the risk of mold. Mold can be harmful to both the structure of the building and the health of the residents. But how do you actually measure the moisture and the risk of mold in your house?
According to Sundhed.dk , mold in the home can be an indication of too high humidity or lack of ventilation. Therefore, it is important to be able to measure and identify any problems in time. In this guide, we will take a closer look at how you can carry out measurements and examinations in your home to avoid mold.
One of the most important factors in terms of the risk of mold is the humidity in the home. According to the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, the humidity should be below 40-60% to avoid problems with mold. To measure the humidity, you can use a hygrometer, which is a simple device that gives you an accurate measure of the humidity in your home.
If you already suspect mold in your home, it's important to have it inspected. According to Bolius , mold can often be visible on walls, ceilings, or in corners of the room. It's also important to pay attention to the smell of mold, which can be an indication of mold.
If you suspect mold in your home, it may be a good idea to have a professional inspection done. The Danish Construction Association has prepared a guide on mold inspection in buildings, which can be a good resource in this context. A professional inspection will be able to provide you with a detailed report on any problems and recommendations for solutions.
According to Sundhed.dk , it is important to ensure good ventilation and avoid excessive humidity in the home to prevent mold.
Although visual inspections can be performed, it is always recommended to have a professional perform a thorough examination.
According to Bolius , mold can be removed by cleaning the surface thoroughly and ensuring good ventilation in the room.
