Tip #107: Use ventilation fans in bathrooms and laundry rooms to control moisture

The use of large amounts of water in bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens can make them breeding grounds for mold and mildew. The accumulation of dampness and the creation of mold and mildew are dangerous for your family and your home. We have all heard accounts of families sickened by mold in their homes and of homes completely destroyed by the growth of toxic mold. Simple installation and use of ventilation fans in bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens can control the amount of moisture in these rooms and safely remove it, thus preventing the growth of mold and mildew. Although it may seem to be a way to save on your remodel or house addition by not including ventilation fans, they are worth far more than their cost when it comes to protecting your family and your largest investment.
