We are moving into a home that was built in the 1920′s, remodeled in the 1970′s, and made to resemble a Colorado cabin-not a log cabin, however. There is a lot of greenery-trees, vines, flowers,and ground cover-with a drip system up close to the base of the wood on the house. The walls of a bathtub/shower combo are lined with wood that has been treated with a marine sealer,and has black mold. The home had a water leak for 2 weeks in February before it was discovered. It is just now being de-humidified. There is obvious black mold in a closet, on wood flooring, behind the washer and dryer, yellow mold in a bathroom storage closet. This home has not been lived in for two years, and we have rented it from our friends. They have been quite cooperative, and accomodating, and we will be getting an evaluation, recommendation, repair-within monetary reason. My question is this: What will be used to eradicate as much of the mold as possible and what can we do to treat any recurring mold?
