In fact, mold on the ceiling can appear for several reasons. Among them are the humidity in the room and leaks in the ceiling or walls. To prevent the appearance of mold on the ceiling, pay attention to the following:

1. Make sure the air circulation in the room is good

   You have to make sure the air circulation in the house is running well. The use of a cross ventilation system is very appropriate to be applied in the house. Apart from allowing air to flow simultaneously, ventilation also allows natural light to enter the house. So that the house is no longer damp. Mushrooms will not grow if our house is not damp.

2. Make sure there are no leaks in the tiles or walls

   Leaking tiles or walls expose some parts of the ceiling to water. This can also be the cause of the appearance of mold on the ceiling of our homes. So, make sure the roof tiles and walls of your house are impermeable from rain or rainwater.
