• All mold growth is accompanied by a nearby water or moisture source. If you can identify and isolate the source of water, stop it if possible.
• To avoid spreading mold spores, turn off the heating and air conditioning system and make sure it remains off until the damage can be inspected.
• Do not attempt to eliminate the problem with bleach. Doing so will only provide a cosmetic solution to the problem. It will not eliminate the source of the mold
• Most molds are not immediately harmful, so don’t panic. Reactions to mold vary greatly from person to person.
• If you or anyone else in the building is experiencing an allergic reaction that you think may be related to mold, see a doctor immediately.
