<P>Toxic mold can be a potential silent threat to your family. Thousands of homeowners each year have water damaged problems as a result of leaky roofs, pipes bursting, improper ventilation, damp basements, etc. Mold grows on any porous material, and only needs moisture as its food. Any construction flaw or damage to the structure that allows moisture inside creates the potential for mold growth. New construction homes are often subject to toxic mold growth as a result of the building materials being exposed to the outside elements. <U></U></P><U>
