Beware Of Mold - This Intruder May Destroy Your Home And Health
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Danielle_Dobbs]Danielle Dobbs
This insidious intruder may lurk inside your walls and could destroy your home and seriously affect your health. If this happens, would you know what to do? Three mold detection experts felt that the subject of mold was not well understood, so they decided to write a complete book on mold to empower home and building owners about solutions to mold problems as well as mold prevention.
Mold Matters - Solutions and Prevention is a complete guide on mold from A-to-Z written by mold detection experts. Learn about the effects of mold on health and buildings, the process of mold inspection and mold remediation, how to handle water intrusion before mold develops and how to practice mold prevention. Years of field experience observing, researching, and documenting water damage and mold conditions led three mold detection experts to the conclusion that a large percentage of these cases could have been avoided by following simple preventive measures. To their dismay they also saw homeowners who had been taken advantage by unscrupulous "wannabe" experts. So, their intent was to empower homeowners with the knowledge they need to be in control of a mold situation and learn valuable tips on mold prevention. To heighten understanding or to clarify a point the authors have included many color pictures, diagrams, and flowcharts.
Practicing mold prevention has never been so important. Following the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005, insurance companies faced large number of mold claims and as a result many companies no longer cover mold problems. This move puts the responsibility entirely on homeowners. Thus learning about mold and practicing mold prevention is an absolute necessity in protecting health, homes, and saving money.
This book is suitable for the home or building owner, inspector, insurance adjuster, lawyer, real estate broker, apartment or hotel manager, or a member of a maintenance crew. The same principles that apply to homes, also apply to apartment complexes, retail spaces, and office buildings, and hotels. Reducing downtime following natural disasters is one of the primary goals of large companies.
