PROGRAM: Rick Koenig and partner Johnny M=
accia,
dressed in their finest mold sniffing safari duds, came today to tell us =
all
about mold and to introduce “Savannah”, Rick’s new
mold-sniffing Labrador. Ric=
k has
been a contractor for a number of years and first considered the
mold-detection business when he had to repair a badly mold-damaged home a=
t Lake
Tahoe. A 6-month water leak
virtually destroyed the very expensive home. Mold has been around forever and=
there
are over 100,000 kinds of mold.
Some is harmless, but hundreds of kinds are toxic and create what
could be called indoor air pollution.&nb=
sp;
It can make you quite ill if not remedied. The EPA, WHO and others have con=
cluded
that 95% of breathing problems, asthma, etc. can be attributed to indoor =
air
quality. Mold needs moistur=
e and
food. Food can be clothing,
leather, carpets, etc. Prob=
lems can
be the result of water leaks, sealed buildings, leaky planters, construct=
ion
defects, etc. Short of brin=
ging
in “mold busters”, you should vacuum frequently with HEPA Fil=
ter
vacuum, keep fresh air circulating, attend to leaks or dampness promptly,
consider hardwood floors instead of carpets, use an ozone generator ̷=
0;
or call Rick. Savannah, the m=
old dog,
is a black lab from Florida, a graduate of the Florida Canine Academy. Rick’s co=
mpany is
