Lesson Overview

21.7 – Preventing Water Damage and Mold: Preventing water damage and mold begins with vigilance and routine care. Regularly inspect sinks, toilets, and appliances for leaks or dampness. Address dripping faucets or slow drains immediately to stop moisture buildup. Ventilate bathrooms and kitchens with fans or open windows to reduce humidity. Wipe up spills quickly, especially on porous surfaces where moisture can linger unseen. Mold thrives in dark, damp spaces—check basements, ceilings, and corners regularly. If you spot discoloration or musty smells, clean with a mild bleach solution and improve airflow. Preventative habits like these save thousands in repairs and protect your health from allergens. Maintaining a dry, clean environment strengthens your home’s structure and teaches foresight, showing how attention to detail keeps small problems from growing into major crises.
