New Construction Can Have Mold Forming

Construction contractors are always on a schedule and may tend to move along too fast. If a foundation is not completely dry as it sets and the house is built on top of it, moisture that is trapped inside can allow mold to form. Newly built homes are meant to be energy efficient and tightly sealed. This can seal in moisture and allow mold to form. Lots of good ventilation and air-flow are important in this process so that each facet of the new construction completely dries at every stage. Mold may form in new home  construction.

And Watch Out For VOCS

VOCs are Volatile Organic Compounds that may be emitted by building materials and carpeting, flooring, carpentry and paint. New furniture and cleaning products also emit VOCs. VOCs can cause eye, nose and throat irritation and may lead to more serious conditions. While the level of VOCs is greater right after construction has been finished, it will probably dissipate over time. Meanwhile, good ventilation should be a priority to avoid a buildup of VOCs.
