What to Do About Mold in Your Home!

Mold is a problem that we hear about a lot. It is also something that causes great concern when it is found in our home. Because of potential health issues, it must be taken care of quickly and properly. Often, it is easiest to leave this to home maintenance professionals. At what point, however, does it become a legal issue and a lawsuit might be appropriate? To determine this, keep these things in mind:

• If you rent your home, make sure that you inform your landlord about the problem, before you contact an attorney. Keep proof that you informed your landlord and that they received the information. Also, make sure that you give them plenty of time to repair the problem. Remember, many times the landlord isn't even aware that there is a problem or that it can often be repaired for little cost.
  
• As the property owner, your insurance policy might cover the repairs. Contact your insurance agent to find out.
• Finally , if you suspect health problems as a result of the mold, see your physician. Don't let health problems linger and potentially get worse.

If you own a home, have mold removed before it spreads, health problems result, or a lawsuit occurs.
