Basements tend to be homes for moisture. Moisture is a favorable condition for the growth of mold and mildew. As the mold grows, it releases spores into the air, which if inhaled in excess, can make people very sick. It can also cause irritation to one’s eyes and respiratory system. Not only that, it can cause very unpleasant odors, as well. In order for mold to grow, it needs moisture and something to grow on. So, if you want to eliminate or lessen the chances of mold growing, installing mold resistant flooring for basements is a great preventative measure.
