Georgia’s humid climate supports mold and mildew growth which resides in both the
interiors and exterior of your home. It does not matter whether it is the shaded side of your house, a north facing wall, or areas near gutters and downspouts, wherever there is a little bit of moisture, mold and mildew will thrive. With the right exterior coatings, and interior maintenance, you can protect your home from damage for years to come. At A-Team Painting & Home Care LLC, we specialize in painting homes across Georgia with coatings that are built to resist moisture, prevent mold, and maintain a clean and healthy appearance. Here is everything you need to know about keeping your home fresh and vibrant.
What is Mold and Mildew?
Mold and mildew are a type of fungi that behave slightly differently. While mildew is white and powdery gray or yellowish in color, it can be found on moist and flat surfaces like siding and decks. Mold is darker in color, green or black and can penetrate deeper into porous surfaces like wood or concrete. However, both flourish in areas where moisture, shade and organic matter is present. These conditions are then typical in Georgia’s warm and humid climate. This means that you should be extra careful to keep moisture at bay.
Why Mold and Mildew Are a Problem
Mold and mildew causes tremendous damage to the very foundation of the building. This means that you will face the following problems:
➔ Aesthetic Damage
➔ Health Hazards
➔ Material Deterioration
➔ Reduced Property Value
