In addition to the hassle of emptying and replacing the leak buckets, staff and visitors have to worry about a major health risk due to mold. Although the mold was primarily found in the basement, it has spread to the air ducts where it can affect everyone in the building.  Children and the elderly are especially prone to mold-related respiratory problems, making a public library an unfortunate place to have an infestation. Jackson officials tried to remedy the mold problem two years prior. They used a standard mold remediation process that merely kills the active mold but does not prevent a future outbreak. If they had used MoldExterm, the two-part NJ mold removal process we use at Stern Mold, the baesement\u2019s surfaces could have been sealed off to stop mold spores from reactivating ever again.  Prevent Disaster with NJ Mold Removal Mold needs very little to grow. A water source such as a roof leak is all mold spores need to start growing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to look out for signs of mold and get a free inspection to be safe. It\u2019s also why our NJ mold removal service finishes the job with a patented polymer seal to stop mold from growing, without the need for ripping out building materials.
