(...) When it comes to black mold removal, a prime candidate is the basement. The basement of a home is ideal for black mold for a number of reasons. First, most basements remain largely undisturbed for long periods of time since many people use them for storage and leave them alone. Second, being as basements are often left alone, slow leaks from things like old pipes go unnoticed which allows for black mold spores to take root and grow. Finally, there is a lot of empty and hidden space in basements whereblack mold happily prospers. Black mold grows best in dim light and damp and basements provide this very well. It is important therefore, to not treat your basement like an old garage, but instead make sure to keep it clean, moniter the pipes as best you can, and even do renovations to make the basement more habitable and get rid of black mold as you go.
