We recently completed air quality testing for a home in Manville, New Jersey, where the homeowner wanted to ensure there were no hidden mold issues. Both indoor samples — the upstairs and basement — came back similar to the outdoor control, which means there was no indication of an airborne mold problem at the time of testing. This is always encouraging news, especially in areas like Manville where basements, humidity, and seasonal moisture can raise concerns for homeowners. Even when results are normal, a mold inspection provides valuable peace of mind and helps confirm that a home’s indoor environment is healthy and safe.
To help prevent mold issues in the future, Manville homeowners should stay ahead of humidity by keeping indoor levels below 50%, especially in basements. Running a dehumidifier, fixing minor leaks quickly, and ensuring bathrooms and laundry areas are properly ventilated can make a big difference. Regularly changing HVAC filters and keeping gutters clear also helps reduce moisture buildup around the home. Even when mold levels test normal, following these simple prevention steps can protect your property and maintain good indoor air quality year-round.
