Built our home in 2004. Found ants coming from wall near tub, sprayed and opened wall and found black mold. Called builder who stated it was from grout in shower that has fallen out. Builder refusing to fix. Wife has been having trouble breathing, and have a 6 year old with a bad cough. I have drywall piece to replace hole in wall, just want to make sure mold is removed the right way. Please help!!

Basement Mold Removal
The basement provides fertile conditions for the growth of mold. All surfaces in the basement are susceptible to mold especially wood, ceiling tiles and walls. Leaky pipes can cause water to accumulate causing the growth of spores. The lack of ventilation systems in the basement also contribute to the growth mold and mildew. If yours is an unfinished basement, then its likely to be dark and dingy, making it hard to spot mold and mildew until it has spread.
Mold in the basement can not only harbor allergy causing germs, but can also spread these spores to the rest of the house through the vents and ducts that are inside your basement. Once inside the main house, these spores are distributed freely though the HVAC systems causing asthma and other respiratory disorders. To keep your basement safe from mold, make sure that the ventilation system is functioning efficiently. Your ceiling fan and a/cs should be circulating the air inside the basement. If there is a leaky pipe, get it fixed immediately. If your basement has a tendency to get flooded during rains, get this problem fixed immediately. If there are wet patches on carpets, dispose of these. Do the same with damp furniture -- either get them dry appropriately, or get rid of them altogether. If you have a bathroom in your basement, make sure that all faucets are shut tight to avoid a dripping situation all night long.
Basement mold removal is extremely important because these spores are easily able to infiltrate the air in the rest of the house. If you have mold infestation in your basement, don't attempt to scrub these. You'll only dislodge the spores making it easier for them to make their way through vents and ducts to the rest of the house. Contact a basement mold removal company.
