Mold Information:
There is currently no regulatory standard for mold exposure, so indoor mold issues are difficult to resolve. For more information on mold including basic information, mold in your home, and landlord/tenant concerns, please visit the Wisconsin Department of Health Services website: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/eh/mold/moldinfo.htm
Helpful tips to remedy mold problems:
- Control moisture in the air by using an exhaust fan in the bathroom, or a dehumidifier in high moisture areas like the basement
- Use guidelines listed on the EPA website for mold clean up http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldguide.html
- Look for any building issues that might be causing moisture issues
- In winter time, be sure to wipe away condensation from window or patio doors to prevent mold growth.
