It is best to leave undamaged asbestos material alone if it is not likely to be disturbed. Use state-licensed contractors to remove or encapsulate asbestos containing material. Molds are simple, microscopic fungi, found nearly everywhere. They spread and multiply by releasing tiny living cells called spores into the air. If enough spores are in the air inside your home, they can contribute to asthma, allergies, and other health problems.
Mold can also pose a structural problem if left untreated.
Reduce moisture in the home by using source point ventilation for moisture producing areas, and low speed continuous ventilation for good overall moisture control. Increase airflow in home by moving furniture away from walls and opening closet doors. Clean, disinfect and dry the wet area. Remove any materials affected by the mold. Remove porous materials that have been damaged by mold, such as sheetrock, carpeting and plywood.
