Homeowners have always been exposed to unwanted moisture intrusion into a home, though dozens of sources such as: roof leaks, clogged gutters, poor grading, air conditioning coil leaks, shower or bath leaks, dishwasher leaks, plumbing leaks, overflowing toilets, etc. In the past when this occurred a homeowner simply repaired the leak and went on about their life. If mold or mildew developed, a homeowner washed it off and cleaned it with chemicals like bleach, and went on about their life. In the past few years a new type of mold called "STACHYBOTRYS" has been discovered. This particular type of mold has proven to pose a serious health hazard to many people, and is very difficult or impossible to get rid of.

In several cases it has been proven, that the only way to completely eliminate the mold problem is to destroy the home. Ouch!! This hot new issue has had a lot of press and media coverage, starting out with the 32 million dollar settlement against State Farm Insurance in Texas.
