Humidity/Moisture is the result of the following three Water Intrusions:

Direct: flood, slab leak, plumbing leak, roof leak.
Indirect: rising moisture that seeps through concrete and into slabs
Intermittent: poor ventilation, lack of windows, high humidity

The only way to properly remove MOLD is to undergo the process specified by EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), ACGH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist), and IICRC Guide for Professional Mold Remediation S520.
