Recent media attention and high profile lawsuits have made "mold" one of those new "buzz" words. Although it can be alarming to learn of a mold problem in your home or office, using common sense when dealing with mold issues goes a long way towards resolving any potential problems.

Mold is a naturally occurring organism that helps breakdown complex life forms in our outdoor environment. It does not belong indoors.. When growth or amplification sites occur inside, remediation is usually required. Any remediation project must first address the cause of the problem, namely water intrusion. Preventing water and excess moisture from entering our homes and offices is the single most effective way to control mold.

The Basics of Remediation:
 Find the source of moisture
 Correct the moisture problem
 Dry and contain the affected area to prohibit continued growth and keep    contamination isolated from other non-affected areas
 Remove or treat affected walls, flooring furniture etc.
 Obtain clearances through testing to determine affected area is
   once again safe for re-entry
 Repair and rebuild structure
