You may hear other mold remediation companies claim they can remove 100% of the mold from your property - that is false.
Mold is found everywhere and there are many different kinds of molds. There are good and bad molds, molds you eat, such as cheese, and molds that are dangerous, which may be growing in your property. When mold is left unattended it leaves opportunity for greater growth and more serious problems.
Over this last year our area experienced large amounts of rain fall. Property owners began seeing mold growth in areas they were not expecting. Mold is not something to play around with because of its potential to impact a person's health.
Below we put together tips about what to do when you find mold and how to respond before help arrives.
