Exposure to molds can cause symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, skin
irritation, and in some cases, even fever and shortness of breath.  The key to mold control is
moisture control.

It is important to dry water damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. If
mold is a problem in your home, clean it by washing the mold off hard surfaces with detergent and
water, and dry completely. 

Be sure to get rid of the excess water or moisture. Fix leaky plumbing or other sources of water.
Absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles & carpet) that become moldy may have to be replaced.
