Construction Trend

There are already a lot of trends or new innovation on construction and design all over the world. But this article writes about mold. Infecting last July 2009, there were lots of news about mold and it was a July mold awareness month! Many introduced principles for mold and moisture control. More than 50 was introduced as a collection. these are the ways that can be done to prevent moisture and mold intrusion:

a) Ensure that moisture sensitive building materials are not stored outside or exposed to weather before installation; if they are delivered to the job site wet, they should be rejected.

b) Roofs should be designed to drain freely and allow water to move rapidly off roofs, through gutters and downspouts and away from the building.

c) Gypsum wallboard should be installed only when buildings are closed in from the weather.

d) All windows, doors and chimneys need to have flashing installed around them. This flashing, which are not expensive or time intensive to install, are critical in deflecting water away from a building.

e)Cover all earthen crawl spaces with impermeable plastic sheets. Do not store anything on top of the plastic sheeting as this can lead to damage that will allow water vapor to enter the crawlspace from the soil below.

f) Avoid excessive indoor humidity, run exhaust fans over stoves and in bathrooms for 10 minutes after use. Turn off furnace humidifiers in the spring.

g) Watch for water stains or standing puddles in the basement, bathrooms or under kitchen sinks. Treat water leaks as you would a smoldering fire, eliminate the cause and dry the water immediately.

h) Use water-resistive barriers behind tub and shower tile installations so water permeating through tile grout drains back into the tub or shower pan, not into the wall cavity.
