What's NewMany homeowners are very concerned about mold – rightly so! Mold may make people sick and diminish property value. Mold is caused by leaks and condensation. There are fairly simple methods to manage the mold risk provided the home is insulated with foam.

Learn how to offer a solid explanation to the home owner how this works. As matter of fact, we’ll even give you a professional presentation for your laptop to impress your customers.
