Mold: What is it? How to Investigate and Address it
This class will help you understand the different types of mold, and how to take measures to repair the cause of growth, and remediate the growth safely. Join us to discuss the proper investigation and remediation techniques that should be followed to ensure the air quality is restored to normal conditions. By mitigating mold issues in this manner, the potential for additional occupant concerns and the potential for litigation can greatly be reduced.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss types of mold varieties, sources, and how it can affect the indoor environment and the impact of mold on property and property transactions.
- Learn a systematic approach to handling mold and indoor air quality complaints proactively to ensure that the correct issue or concern is being properly addressed.
- Overview of typical costs and time-frames associated with managing mold-related issues.
