What is mold and how should I deal with it? This is a very good question and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has published a document called “A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home”. This guide shows you how to prevent mold growth and clean up mold problems if they should occur.
The document details the following topics:
- Mold Basics
- Mold Cleanup
- What to Wear When Cleaning Moldy Areas
- How Do I Know When the Remediation or Cleanup is Finished?
- Moisture and Mold Prevention and Control Tips
- Hidden Mold
For more information on mold related issues including mold cleanup and moisture control/condensation/humidity issues, you can call the EPA Indoor Air Quality Information Clearinghouse at (800) 438-4318. Or visit: www.epa.gov/mold
Of course, for professional repairs of any mold related problems, call Paul.
