How to ensure that mold remediation was a success

The word remediation refers to correcting problem. Mold can cause serious damage to you property, your finance, your health and most importantly your peace of mind. Events that leads to water damage always catches us off-guard as we don’t plan or wish for our beautiful home to flooded. Minor things such as roof leaks or overflowing bath tub can leave cost us thousands of dollars and life-long pain and suffering due to mildew, mold or fungus. Mold can be found in almost every part of the house as long as it damp and have sufficient oxygen. It can easily spread and grow if not contained. Even when cleaned out and repaired, it tend to grow back and even vigorously. Mold remediation is based upon removing the sources of water problem, preventing it from re-occurring and cleaning up the residue. Even though there are currently no government regulations dictating procedures of remediating mold, it is of your best interest to hire a contractor falling within “home improvement” (Connecticut General Statute section 20-419) and If the contractor providesguarantees, they should bewritteninto the contract, clearlystatingwhat is guaranteed, whoisresponsiblefor the guarantee(thedealer,the contractor,orthemanufacturer),and howlongthe guarantee is valid.
