Don't put up with mold and mildew — just give us a call!
It can be easy to forget just how much weather the exterior of a home withstands to keep its inhabitants warm and dry inside day after day. With rain, sun, temperature fluctuations and natural microorganisms constantly in contact with our houses — it’s no wonder that sometimes they linger a little longer than we’d like.
Mold and mildew on the outside of your house isn’t an uncommon problem to have in Texas’ humid climate. Rhino Shield Texas wants to share our knowledge about the source of mold, mildew and algae growth on the exterior of houses and how our team is resolving the issue in neighborhoods all across San Antonio.
Mold tends to thrive in areas that are dark and moist. Walk around your home and look for areas of siding that are shadowed by tree growth or other structures.
Mold often appears as patches of discolored fuzzy fibers — green, white and even black are all possible colors of mold growth.
Mildew is similar, but it grows as more of a powdery substance on painted surfaces. You may recognize the musty odor of mold or mildew before you even see them, so it’s important to visually inspect the area around your home occasionally for these signs.
Mold primarily grows in moist conditions. As the spores spread in the air, they can land against the side of your home. If they find that the paint is cracked, water is leaking or poor ventilation has caused high humidity in the exterior of your home, the spores may be able to settle and multiply.
This is why it’s important to address seemingly small issues in your home — like minor water leaks or damaged exterior siding. Black mold on the outside of the house is caused by excessively moist environments. Here in Texas, humidity levels are often high. This makes it even more important to make sure mold cannot find a place to settle on your home’s exterior.
If mold or mildew is allowed to grow on the exterior of the home or in the siding material, it can quickly make its way inside your home. Bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens are all prime targets for mold due to the use of water in these rooms. Once inside, mold can have serious effects on you and your family’s health. Mold spores can cause allergies and serious illness if not found and eliminated.
Keeping an eye on the exterior of your home can make a huge difference in preventing mold growth. Promote dry, clean conditions to lower the risk of mold and mildew finding a hold in your siding. However, there’s an even more effective way to ensure your home is shielded from the dangers of mold spores: Rhino Shield Texas’ ceramic coating.
