Do you have a really sweet dog that's just so bad sometimes? I do! My tiny dog has been marking, otherwise known as peeing in, our new build home and it is driving me crazy! So I asked Cheryl Ciecko to be my first ever repeat guest so we could explore how accidental moisture in the home, like dog pee or pee from unwanted animal infestations, could cause mold issues inside the house.
In this episode Cheryl explains why a mice infestation caused mold to grow in her drywall, why my dog's marking is not likely going to be a mold problem, and that bacteria is actually a large concern in both of these cases.
If bacteria grows from urine in the house, it can cause infections and lower your indoor air quality.
In the second half of the episode, we dive into how laminate flooring and mold relates (also known as floating floors), how concrete slabs contribute to home moisture levels, why repeatedly wet carpet can ruin your hard wood floors, and why tile is the best best for mold free flooring options.
Live mold free!
