Damp basement poses the risk of getting mold growth. To fight against mold, first you need to fix the moisture problem in your basement. Try to keep the basement as dry as possible. You may consider using a dehumidifier to help regulate the humidity level.

However if you are unlucky to have mold growing in your basement, examine the condition of mold infestation. For minor infestation of areas less than 10 square feet, it is possible to do mold cleaning yourself. Follow the safety measure when implementing mold removal at home.
