Newly Built Homes Can Have Mold Growing

Builders are always working on a schedule and sometimes move too rapidly. If a foundation is not completely dry before the rest of the house is built on top of it, moisture can be trapped inside and allow mold to form. Sometimes new homes are sealed in the interest of energy efficiency, but this can seal in moisture and cause mold to form. Lots of air-flow and proper ventilation should always be a priority so that all elements of new construction can dry at every stage. Unfortunately, new construction can be done too quickly and allow moisture to be trapped in places where mold forms.

VOCs Are Also A Concern

VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds can be emitted by 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 often may lead to more serious conditions. The level of VOCs in a new home are greater after construction has been completed, but will probably dissipate over time. Again good ventilation is essential to avoid a build-up of VOCs.  Mold and VOCs are found in new construction in NJ.
