Do you need definitive mold remediation?

Mold Remediation is the process of eradicating mold within the home. It is an important aspect of having a safe environment and has become increasingly more important in selling your home. Homes in wetter areas tend to have more mold in their house. Remediation involves fixing the current mold issue and preventing more mold from growing. This is done by addressing where the moisture is coming from. After the mold is cleared, the area must be dried and dust-free.

Did you know that there are more than 1,000 species of mold in the United States? While many of these are invisible to the naked eye, they can cause serious problems for your health and your home. If you've been feeling sick for a long time without a diagnosis, you may have a problem with mold in your basement.
