Humidity and mold growth
Kentucky's humid seasons make mold a common follow-on to any leak. The EPA recommends keeping indoor relative humidity below 60 percent, ideally between 30 and 50 percent, which usually takes dehumidification and good ventilation.
Mold after flooding
Floodwater in Kentucky leaves materials soaked and contaminated. Porous materials that stayed wet are usually removed, because cleaning alone does not reliably stop mold inside them.
Recent history in Kentucky
The July 2022 floods in eastern Kentucky were among the deadliest in the state's history. Events like these are why mold remediation needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
