got mold we have the cure: Does, Where You Live, Matter Regarding Getting Mold/Mildew?
- 06/24/12 06:53 AM
One of the most important aspects to consider when it comes to mold is the humidity and moisture in your home. Those of us who live in the South know that our climate is most often hot and wet. This produces a great chance that there is excess moisture within our homes, and anywhere there’s a high level of moisture, there is likely to be mold. Of course, the logical thing to do is to control the amount of moisture in the home. The amount of moisture required to produce mold, however, may not be great, and … (1 comments)

Last January our family was blessed with a new addition, a precious little girl, my third grandchild. If you’re a grandparent, you know the delight and inexplicable feeling when that child first smiles at you and melts your heart. I can truly say there is nothing I wouldn’t do for her or to protect her. That’s why I’ve been doing some research lately on the internet about allergies. Both of her parents suffer from migraines and other painful symptoms caused by allergies. I was disappointed to find that she’s 75% more likely to have allergic reactions since … (0 comments)

Some of them may even appear too farfetched to believe. That’s one of the problems you face when dealing with mold. People just don’t seem to be sure about where to find it, what to … (1 comments)

- 02/23/12 08:14 AM
There are over 100,000 species of mold. Some are readily detectable because of their musty odor and the appearance of black or white patches in areas that normally contain water—such as a bathroom or kitchen. However, some are not so easily identified, and removing them permanently can be a seriously daunting task. Most experts say that an area ten square feet or larger will most certainly require removal by a professional, but smaller areas in your home or business may also demand the attention of someone with expertise in the mold removal or remediation field. For example, suppose you don’t … (1 comments)
