Preventing Black Mold 

1. Keep it dry- Keeping your home dry is key to preventing mold growth. Putting dehumidifiers n basements, ceiling fans in bathrooms and good airflow can keep mold at bay. 
2. Remove tainted material- it is imperative that you remove affected materials when and if you undergo mold remediation. 
3. Keep it outside- Never bring old wood or porous objects in from outdoors. Mold spores grow on everything and go wild when brought indoors. 
4. Use cleaning products- You can use mold reducing sprays in your bathroom and damp locations. 
5. Get a dehumidifier- Dehumidifiers will suck the moisture out of the air and prevent mold growth. 
6. Keep water away from your house- water is key to mold growth. Don't allow your home or basement to become flooded. You can prevent flooding from happening by grading your yard to keep water flowing away from your home. You can also install downspouts that divert water away from your home.
