Where will you find mold in your home?
Mold is becoming more and more of a health concern as the country is becoming educated on the dangers of mold and associated mold toxins. There are a number of places that mold will begin to manifest itself when a home has an elevated mold spore count. Keep in mind the mold is everywhere, it just manifests itself in areas that have water issues.
The Top 10 are:
1. Bathrooms including grout, caulk, flooring & ceiling
