The recent storms in the area may have your wondering what may be growing behind my drywall? OR It may have you wondering why is my sinus acting up?  Well, it may be mold.

Take this survey, http://www.care2.com/greenliving/quiz-home-growing-mold.html to determine if that is the case.

Once you determine if it is mold.  Now, what you may be wondering? 

The steps for removing mold are:

  •  eliminate the source of the moisture. 
  • dry the wet area to include removing drywall because mold or moisture may be on wall and insulation behind drywall
  • dispose of contaminated materials

Once all the contaminated material have been removed and the area is dry, you are ready to begin the process of getting rid of the mold. 

  • Protect yourself from the mold.  Mold can cause respiratory problems, so make sure you wear rubber gloves, eye googles, a paper suit and a filter dust mask.
  • Clean all surfaces that came in contact with the mold.  You must disinfect them.  A great disinfectant is 1/2 cups of bleach per gallon of water.  Then, allow the solution to dry on the surface.  Remember to vent the area that you are cleaning by opening windows.   Never mix bleach and ammonia because it can create toxic fumes. 

If your home had moisture or mold issues and you are trying to sell it.  I recommend that you disclose those issues on your seller disclosure and if you did anything to fix the problem disclose that as well.  Keep all receipts showing the repairs that were may as a result of the problem.
