How to Prevent Mold in Your Bathroom

One of the biggest causes of mold growth in bathrooms are unknown leaks or improper ventilation. Are you noticing small dark spots in your bathroom, especially in your shower? The experts at Paradigm Plumbing can help you identify and fix mold growth in your bathroom.

What Causes Mold Growth in Your Bathroom

Here are three steps you can help prevent mold growth in your bathroom.

1. Wet Spots – Bathrooms usually have the most plumbing fixtures compared to any other room in the house. From the shower, toilet and sinks, be sure to inspect regularly for any leaks. Cleaning your bathroom weekly will help identify any concerns, along with using an absorbent floor mat outside of your shower and removing wet towels from the floor immediately after use.

2. Grout – Have you noticed your grout is no longer its original color? Over time the grout in-between tiles will deteriorate and it becomes important to restore your grout as often as it needs it. Lack of attention could result in cracks and chips in your tile or even worse, water could seep in the cracks and mold could begin grow under the tile that you can’t see.

3. Ventilation – It is important to have proper ventilation in your bathroom. Leave your exhaust fan on during and after showers. If possible crack open a window to let the moisture out.
