For those of us exploring our basements, mold and mildew can grow in the walls, carpeting, furniture, or anywhere else it can find a food source.  Mold is one of the biggest issues facing homeowners and potential home buyers today.  Furthermore, mold or mildew in a basement can be a symptom of a leaky basement or cracked foundation.

Can mold make me and my family sick?
