Freshly Constructed Homes Can Have Mold Forming
Construction contractors always work on a schedule and may move ahead too rapidly. If a foundation is set but not
completely dry and the house is built over it, moisture can be trapped inside and this allows mold to form. Newly constructed homes are built to be energy efficient and are tightly sealed. This can seal in moisture and mold may form. Plenty of good ventilation and air-flow are essential in this process so that each element of the new construction can dry completely at every stage. Mold can grow in new NJ construction.

Learn About VOCs
VOCs are Volatile Organic Compounds that may be emitted by certain building materials and carpeting, flooring, carpentry and paint. New furniture and cleaning products also give off VOCs. VOCs can cause eye, nose and throat irritation and may lead to more serious conditions. The level of VOCs is greater after construction has been completed, but will probably dissipate over time. In the meantime, good ventilation should be a priority to avoid a buildup of VOCs. Mold and VOCs are found in new NJ construction.
