How to Remove Vulcan Waterproofing Mold

Even after you have hired Vulcan Waterproofing to repair the moisture problem in your home, you are still left with the unpleasant and smelly mold. The mold already present in the basement will not go away on its own. Instead, you must remove the mold yourself. More than a nuisance, mold will cause health complications and damage to the surface the fungus is feeding on. To protect yourself, your family and your home, remove the mold as soon as possible.
