Ohio’s weather has been pretty unpredictable this summer. We have seen drought, we have seen torrential downpours and flash flooding. And with heavy rain, and flooding, inevitably brings MOLD. BBB along with the EPA are advising homeowners to be proactive when dealing with mold and mildew. Repair leaks immediately, vent bathrooms and kitchens, and clean & dry any wet surfaces within 48 hours. Some mold eradicators can be imposters. Check references and make sure the contractor has experience in cleaning up mold. Finally, get a free Business Review of BBB Accredited Businesses by visiting our Directory.
Toronto, Ontario’s weather has been quite similar. Even into December we have experienced, rain, snow, above normal and below freezing temperatures. The change in weather and the added precipitation are perfect contributing factors to mold growth.
The post above is dead accurate: “Repair leaks immediately, vent bathrooms and kitchens, and clean & dry any wet surfaces within 48 hours. Some mold eradicators can be imposters.”
In addition to checking references consumers should also obtain certificates of insurances, certificates of training and any other pertinent documentation confirming the contractors credentials and insurance coverages.
