Points to consider in the prevention of house mold deal primarily with the prevention of free moisture in the house. The most common moisture traces from bottom to top in the house must be investigated and the specific source eliminated before any control or remediation is attempted.
Lot elevation is the first parameter investigated. Most cities have building codes which require house floors to be constructed at least 9.5 inches above curb height. In most cases this will prevent flooding unless the whole area floods.
