Mold
growth in basements can occur on finished building materials (carpet, drywal, etc.), foundation walls, and floor joists. With all mold growth, moisture is a key element: Seepage can cause mold growth on exterior walls Humidity and plumbing leaks can lead to growth on floor joists Flooding can cause mold growth with direct moisture, and with elevated humidity
Drying may be a part of mold remediation Physical removal of soft building materials and mold growth is important to the success of the remediation
effort Bleach is not recommended for mold cleanup on porous
materials HVAC cleaning should be part of basement remediation
as the air handler is often housed in areas where basement mold growth is present; causing contamination of the HVAC system
