Rooms to check first in 89102
| Room | Why it matters | First step |
|---|---|---|
| AC air handler and ducts | Las Vegas has a normal of 79 days a year at or above 100 degrees5, so the AC runs long and makes a lot of condensate. | If you know or suspect the system has mold, EPA says do not run it, because it could spread mold through the house6. |
| Attic and roof | Monsoon storms push extra moisture into the valley in July and August7, and they often roll in from the mountains around town8. | Find and stop the water first. EPA says mold will most likely come back if the water problem is not fixed9. |
| Kitchen sink and dishwasher | CDC lists leaks around pipes as a place mold grows10. | Shut the supply valve, empty the cabinet and let air reach the wet wood. |
