Beat Winter Mold Growth this New Year -- By Harry Cannon, with Laura Bush Jenkins

Did you know while you are entertaining family, raising your children, and working to get ahead this New Year, mold may be growing inside your home?

Yes, mold grows in winter months.

Increased humidity and moisture can create a favorable environment for mold. It spreads through spores that land on damp spots and begins growing by digesting surfaces such as fabric, paper, and wood.

The EPA reports increased exposure in your home can bring about sensitivity and health problems. Mold can cause burning sensation to the skin, lungs, nose, throat, or eyes. It is important to put an end to this as soon as possible.

Instead of relying on outdated approaches, Dwelling Management Solutions uses nationally recognized testing and EPA registered treatments. Instead of doing it yourself with constant spraying and chemicals that may harm your health, we can do yearly or twice yearly checks. We understand proper application to keep you safe and avoid future growth.

This means better breathing and peace of mind for you.
