Damp conditions lead to mold developments that threaten the owner and other occupants of the property.
Mold and Mildew
EPA regulations apply to remediation services for mold and mildew. The team cannot just simply throw out materials covered in mold or mildew. The items must be packaged in thick plastic sheeting to prevent the spores from spreading. If the team doesn’t manage the items properly, more mold or mildew developments emerge in the property.
