Unexpected severe weather during construction and water used in construction materials can create a problem of moisture build up and turn homes into veritable mold incubators. In fact, there is approximately 6 tons of water in a new home that must evaporate after the home is finished. When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on in order to survive.
 
The natural process of drying will kill most mold and prevent any new growth. But it usually takes weeks, even months, to dry a home completely. During this drying time, the home and the materials in it are susceptible to mold and decay fungal growth. There is a treatment that will control the decay fungi, mold, and wood boring insects during the drying time.
