We know where to look and what to look for.  And when we find it we can tell you exactly what needs to be done to eliminate it.

Property Depreciations:  Studies show that 84% of the general market is resistant to buying a property with an untreated mold history.  There have been reports of property depreciations of up to 60% if a property has an untreated history of mold.
