Stop mold before it starts

There’s no doubt about it, Reader - July has come to Virginia full force.

Know what that means?

Yes, yes, July 4th weekend.

And yes, that too - the Loudoun County Fair.

But also - and this is not as fun - humidity.

July is here, and the humidity is suffocating.

And because humidity = moisture = sneaky opportunities for mold to grow, we’ve gathered a few tips to help you keep moisture at bay this summer.

Don’t forget to:

✅ Maintain healthy airflow

✅ Pull out the dehumidifier

✅ Find and fix any leaks (our free home walkthrough checklist will help you know where to look)

Keeping air moving and humidity down will help mitigate potential mold, because mold only needs three things to grow:

  1. oxygen,
  2. a food source (paper, dirt, dust, etc.),
  3. and yep - you guessed it - moisture.

If you’re concerned you might have mold growing in your home - even if you’re not quite sure - now’s the perfect time to give us a call.

We’re offering ⭐ FREE mold inspections ⭐ for the entire month of July.

>> Hit reply or call/text us at (703) 665-1129 to book your free mold inspection before 7/31.* <<
