Know Mold Corporation Introduces New Product to Protect Builders and Homeowners

[Guest guest]

I am not endorsing this product nor the company. The main reason for

posting this is to show how companies are trying to take care of the

problem before it gets out of hand. The pharmacutical companies are

coming out with new antifungals, the building associations are

trying to prevent mold growth from the start, the Indoor Air

associations are trying to set up regulations, Yet we can't get the

government agencies to acknowledge what is really happening.

CHICAGO, Ill. — While mold damage continues to be a growing problem,

the Know Mold Corporation, an Illinois-based corporation, is taking

a proactive role by offering a new product - KnowMold - to

prevent mold before it becomes a pest. According to a study

conducted by the University of Arizona, mold is present in every

home; Illinois has the highest count of mold spores in the nation.

The Know Mold Corporation is working with builders and home buyers

to not only treat, but to prevent mold, through a 25 year-warranty

program.

" Many builders deal with the brunt of mold problems that develop

after the sale of a home, " Darryl , president of Know Mold

Corporation, " said. " Our new warranty alleviates the pressure placed

on builders and provides joint responsibility between the builder

and homeowner. "

explains that KnowMold contracts are similar to termite

contracts that many homeowners can assume. The first year, the

builder keeps the warranty current. At the end of the first year,

the homeowner has the option to continue service, for a minimal fee,

for up to 25 years.

The cost to the builder is .35 per square foot. For example: 1,000

square feet x .35 equals $350; the cost to the homeowner, annually,

is $129.

Annually, mold experts will conduct home visits to ensure that no

problems exist. If a problem is detected, it is quickly resolved and

treated with an organic, non-toxic product that instantly eliminates

the mold - or what is now commonly referred to as a " pest. "

How does it work? At the builder's request, the wood structure of

the home is treated with a revolutionary, EPA-registered, 100

percent natural solution that cleans and eliminates existing mold on

lumber, and also prevents mold from growing on treated surfaces; it

contains no bleach, ammonia, alcohol, metals or volatile organic

compounds (VOCs).

An antimicrobial shield is applied to the interior of wood surfaces

and interior wall cavities of the home which physically encapsulate

and inhibit mold and fungal spores.

If during the warranty period mold growth occurs in the treated

area, all remediation expenses associated with removing that growth

are honored under the warranty.

The Know Mold Corporation also offers training for builders to

become applicators. Call 1-888-825-YEAR(9327), or visit:
