Mold looks for damp and dark places to grow, so a common place to find mold is on your basement ceiling. The key to preventing this mold from growing is to maintain a dry basement. If you suspect that you have mold you need to find anything that could be causing moisture in your basement. Be sure to check through your carpeting and all basement walls. If you have basement windows that you can open, you should open them to increase basement air circulation. If you don’t have windows, using a fan, air conditioner, or dehumidifier will help dry the area out. Also, make sure to insulate any pipes that run across your basement ceiling to prevent condensation. This leads to mold as well.
