Mold Remediation
The information provided by these resources can give you a background on the underlying practices and principles of proper mold remediation. We do not encourage do-it-yourself remediation, but a solid understanding of mold remediation can help you make the right decision when hiring a mold remediation contractor.
When selecting a mold remediation company, we encourage you to ask contractors about their philosophy for mold remediation, what guidelines they follow, and their experience in the industry.
