Got Mold?

Mold is a major issue in Hawai`i and the outer islands. Mold is linked to depression, asthma and many other health problems. It has been reported that 1 in 4 people have allergies and that 50% of all asthma cases in the U.S. are attributed to allergens which include mold. Preventing environmental issues in an eco-friendly manner is now available. The EPA states that the key to preventing mold is moisture control and further states that no mold will grow without moisture, food source(wood) and environment. We know that microrganisms cannot grow and live without food and water. We also know that water issues are inevitable and unavoidable. We know that in Hawaii, and coastal climates that high humidity counts exist, coupled with unprotected wood leads to major structural issues known here in our islands. Water accidents thru the life cycle of the home or structure will occur, examples being future water leaks, roof leaks, dishwasher/tub flooding, to common soda pop spilled on plywood subfloors.
The only way to prevent indoor mold and environmental issues is to separate the food from the water - mold must have both to survive.Standard house wraps,metal flashing and felt type products only block a percentage of water and moisture. Lumber-Seal is a non-toxic liquid, spray applied, quick-drying Tricopolymer Barrier Film that dries clear.
Just recently I was part of a renovation team which went to a local home in Mountain View where the resident was very ill and suffered from many ailments. When tearing out the kitchen, black mold was everywhere, along with under the carpet and flooring across the house. After treating the surfaces with this liquid, we put the house back together. The Resident continued to live there, and immediately started to get better healthwise. Since then, I have seen more cases of mold in homes and apartments, and after we cleaned it and applied Lumber-Seal, the mold did not return and the people reported breathing better and not having headaches and other symtoms linked to mold like runny noses, etc. Think, if it was pretreated when the home was built the issue would not arise. Some people live for years in a place with mold under the floor, or under the tile, behind the walls and they don't realize that the mold is causing them health problems. Mold causes headaches,depression, respiratory problems, runny nose and many other health problems. Sometimes prevention is key.
Does anyone have any stories to add?
