Every second new-build apartment is already infested with mold during the construction phase and should not actually be occupied - this is the view of the Association of Private Builders (VPB), which has published a guide on the subject of \"Mold in new builds\". The causes of mold growth are manifold. In addition to the omnipresent mold spores, moisture during the construction phase and a lack of building control can also lead to mold growth.<\/p>\n
Building owners who suspect mold growth on their construction site are advised by the VPB to hire an independent building expert, secure evidence and, if necessary, assert claims against the building contractor. The VPB points out that mold growth must be taken seriously, especially due to the fact that most types of mold are hazardous to health.<\/p>\n
The guide also gives builders some tips on how to prevent mold from forming. For example, the construction site should be well covered in winter to protect it from snow and rain. If building work then continues, the construction site must be checked in advance. Builders can also ensure good ventilation. Builders can find more tips in the guide \"Mold in new buildings\", which can be downloaded free of charge from the vpb.de website.<\/p>\n
