Indoor Mold Identification?

You are going to keep having a mold problem in your basement. You can try the following (it worked for me). Take a piece of plastic and duct tape it to your wall. If moisture builds up; you have a condensation problem. Home Depot and Lowe's sells a paint designed specifically to repel moisture from concrete. Use this on your walls. I hate to say this but you are going to have to dig up your carpet. You can recycle it but you are going to have to put down a vapor barrier. It is real easy to do but you are going to need a slam hammer. Paint the floor with the moisture barrier paint. Put down a layer of plastic (you can find rolls in the paint section). Secure the plastic with thin strips of wood about six to eight inches apart parallel to each other. Secure sections of plywood on top of the strips of wood. Now you can put down your carpet. I suggest you get a dehumidifier for the real humid days. This should help your mold problem immensely.
