Mold in home

Question:  My questions regards mold in home. My father resides in Newfoundland. He has been in a nursing home for the past 2 winters.  His house has been unheated for the past 2 winters. The neighbours have advised me that the roof over the back porch has leaked and now the ceiling tiles have gone moldy (along with the insulation). Mold is also on the walls. I am planning a trip to Nfld next month. What do I need to do to get rid of this mold (kill it) and how do I handle it and protect myself? Thanks for your help.
Answer: It sounds like there is mold in the home which you may not be able to handle on your own. Mold in home is due to excessive moisture. My suggestion is that you find a mold testing company in Newfoundland that can assess the extent of mold growth and prepare mold remediation specifications. Mold remediation specifications require intensive work (at times involving destructive sampling) which can only be done well by a qualified professional. For a list of mold testing companies in Newfoundland please click Listing of Mold Testing and Remediation Companies in Newfoundland.
