Mold Remediation – Choosing a Service Provider

By Luke Armstrong

Mold remediation requires the skills and training to find the source of the mold, clean up the problem and take steps to prevent future occurrences. Mold is a type of fungi that can grow on wood, carpets, paper, insulation or many other organic substances with a combination of suitable temperatures, moisture, and oxygen.  Mold damage restoration is important because untreated mold can pose a variety of health risks, including asthma and allergic reactions, and it can significantly decrease property resale value.
