]]> Reducing indoor moisture, mold http://www.testicare.com/health-hazards-mold.htm {716BC50B-7D98-447F-A93F-33D4D93FB48C} Mon, 31 Jan 2010 11:06:00 GMT High indoor humidity levels have two possible sources: external and internal. Once you repair any obvious moisture leaks from outdoors, clean the moldy areas with a solution of one quart of chlorine bleach to one gallon of water. (Test it first in an obscure spot, since it contains bleach. )

You can also try a dehumidifier. Dont expect immediate improvement in the mold-spore situation and any allergic reactions to it. Even after the humidity is controlled and most of the mold has been eliminated, some will still be present. Each time you walk on the carpet or plop down on the sofa, a cloud of spores will become airborne. It will take a while, and many cleanings, to gradually lower the mold-spore level. (CNS)

You have to dig down deep to the water tables and test. Either one of these condition or maybe both condition together. Good Luck Bart Bart19136@
