Check your home for mold on the outside too!

Many people are under the assumption that mold only grows on structures inside your home, but that’s not true.  This photo represents a home that experienced water damage more than once and was very close to a lake.  Water and Mold remediation in the interior of this home had been completed and passed inspection, although it reappeared within a few months in the same areas as before but not to the same severity.    The contractor on the job traced the areas of most mold concentration to the photo you see here.  The problem began behind the siding.  Mold had been present here for quite a while and although it wasn’t visible it had reached a point where it would continue to spread in the interior of the home unless it was totally gutted.  This home had a new exterior face-lift!
