Michael Pugliese, mold remediation expert and author of RSMeans’ The Homeowner’s Guide to Mold, was recently interviewed for a New York Times article on the dangers of mold infestation in a home.
He offered tips on prevention, early warning signs to watch for, and suggestions to help find the right cleanup crew if the worst happens.
