Elimination of house molds must start with identification and elimination of the water source. After that, removal of infested materials can be undertaken. Personal protection equipment should be worn by workers as they remove moldy boards and paper products. These removed products are not considered hazardous waste and can be burned or buried. It may be possible to clean structural material with soap and water followed by a bleach solution. After materials are completely dry, they should be painted with some type of paint sealer. As long as this cleaned area is kept dry, it will be no more susceptible to mold growth than any other materials in the house.
