Mold Overview

(Return to Index)

Even though it's been around for thousands of years, mold is a relatively new issue of concern in residential housing. Mold contamination has led to numerous lawsuits across the country, and its attention has catapulted to the top of popular media such as Dateline NBC, Newsweek, Time magazine and The Wall Street Journal. It has sometimes been referred to as “the asbestos of the new millennium,” inferring that mold is an issue of paramount concern among the real estate community.

Mold found in homes is linked to water intrusion problems. Moisture from roof leaks, hidden plumbing leaks and basement water penetrations are the most obvious potential contributors to an interior mold problem.
