The Rapid spread of Mold in the Woodwork of this Old House.

Keeping the Character of an Old House can be a Challenge.

When buying this Old Home in Louisville, KY dealing with a Mold Infestation, was probably not on the budget for this homeowner. However, as the renovation began, Mold transformed the once beautiful property into a nightmare. Nearly every wall, ceiling, door, and floor was covered with Mold Spores, turning this renovation into more of a demolition. Notice in the photo that even after the old walls were removed, Mold can still be seen throughout the wood work.

How to Treat and Prevent Mold.

• Correct any Water leaks or standing Water.
• Use an Antimicrobial Cleaner to sanitize and kill the Mold.
• Mold loves moisture, avoid steam cleaning and other methods with moisture when cleaning duct work.
