Mold remediation: Molds are actually a part of the natural environment and serve a purpose outdoors. But inside, mold growth is elusive. It has the potential to cause health problems. Molds will bring forth allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances.

This can allow the fungus to from rhizomorphs, so even when the sprinklers are off, the decay continues. Make sure the grade of your lawn slopes away from your home and there is adequate drainage. You don't want water form sprinklers or heavy rain to pool around your home. Don't pile wood or other debris in crawl spaces or against the side of your house.
