[MassHistPres] MassHistPres Digest, Vol 11, Issue 13

[Mark Landry]

Hi Gloria,

Don't give up.  There is a relatively new technology using dry ice  
that works for mold remediation.  Basically a machine blasts tiny  
pellets of dry ice at the surface and the mold spores are killed and  
removed (it also works for fire restoration). Here's a link to one  
company that does this work:  http://www.mold-remover.com/ .

My firm would be happy to assess the house for you.  Please let me  
know if this would be of interest.
