Thanks to your book, I was able to talk knowledgeably with the environmental inspector, who came along with the claims adjuster.

Office windows, walls, ceiling, and plants are just a few of the possible sources of unhealthy mold contamination. Mold in the News Learn about mold by reading our Question and Answer section.
