All Homes Have a
Mold Problem. Even if
your home looks clean, chances are good you've got mold, often at levels high enough to trigger
allergy and asthma attacks. That bit of dour news comes courtesy of a new university research
study that also found the mold is frequently in areas most people don't associate with it --
windowsills, for instance. After surveying 160 homes in seven U.S. cities, Kelly A. Reynolds of
the University of Arizona, Tucson, found that 100 percent of the homes tested positive for mold
on some inside surface. The discovered molds were all highly allergenic molds. Read the entire home mold
research. "Up to one-third of [non-residential] buildings in industrialized countries are sick,"
according to the World Health Organization, 1995.

to do any kind of business activity including mold inspection, mold
testing, mold remediation, environmental hygiene . If your business will
be home-based (and if local zoning does not permit home-based
businesses), you may need to rent a private, local business mail box
street address from a company like Mail Boxes Etc. to obtain your local
business license.
If your business activities will include any structural work or
repairs (such as plumbing repairs after you locate a water leak), you will
probably need to obtain the appropriate contractor license or work in
conjunction with licensed professionals such as a plumber or construction
contractor. For contractor licensing requirements, check with your local
or province building department, contractor licensing agency, or building
inspector.
