Mold is a fungus, and like all fungi, it thrives in moist places. Mold spreads by emitting spores, microscopic particles often as small as a single cell. Molds are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and dead trees. But indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Sometimes mold can form within the walls of the house or in places completely out of sight.

Wind mitigation is the implementation of certain building techniques to limit the damage caused by intense wind. Some examples of these features are door/window coverings, how your roof is attached to your home, or how your roof is sealed to prevent water from entering. Wind mitigation helps protect the home from damage. Even if a home is insured, it is always costly when a house is damaged, both for the homeowner and the insurer. Repairs can take months, especially during material shortages that follow massive destruction to entire communities. If proper wind mitigation techniques are used, these expenses can be avoided altogether.
