Mold: It’s as old as the Earth and it’s everywhere – inside homes and out. And, under the right set of conditions, it can actually start to grow inside your house.

Even though the issue of household mold is not new, you may have heard something about it recently in the media.

The Building Contractors Association of Southwestern Idaho has compiled a Home Owner Maintenance Checklist of routine maintenance procedures you can follow to prevent mold problems. Simply click the link below to download the checklist and you will be on your way to Maintaining a Healthy Home!

In addition, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and others, have prepared consumer information to help you understand what mold is, how it can grow in your home, additional maintenance procedures, and methods of removing mold already in your home.
