Wisconsin is one of the regions of the United Stated that receives its fair share of natural disasters. Normally, this state receives a large amount of regular snowfall averaging around 40 to160 inches annually. Natural disasters can wreak havoc on a home or building. If your home has recently weathered a rigorous storm, then you are probably looking at significant water damage, which could mean mold. In this state, water damage from leaking and broken pipes is the leading cause of mold growth in many homes and offices. Mold growth can cause extensive property damage and can pose substantial health risks to those exposed to the toxin. Though you can take care of some basic mold removal duties, it is highly advisable to leave the job to a qualified contractor.

* Musty or mildew odors
* Green or black and furry growth on the walls and floors
