We tested a room in our house for mold with a kit from Home Depot (sent to lab for results). The results indicated that we have mold. Even though it appears we don't have the toxic kind we'd like to get an estimate on remediation/moisture control suggestions.

Mold is an organic being, and is the most harmful thing you can have growing in your house. It is a known allergen and can cause respiratory problems, and allergy flare ups in those who inhale it. The kitchen happens to be one of the most common haunts of mold because of the constant availability of food and water. Here are some ways you can keep your kitchen safe of mold and mildew.
keep your drains clean. The drains are constantly wet and therefore provide a fertile ground for mold to begin growing. Pour small amounts of bleach regularly down the sink. Whenever you use lemons for cooking cut up the rind and shove it down the garbage disposal. The lemon juice kills spores. Don't leave food in the garbage bin for too long. Fix leaky faucets and drains as quickly as possible. The drip drip of the water will create conditions that are ideal for mold spores to begin infesting the area. Use an exhaust fan to keep stale air out for the kitchen. If you have no exhaust fan, get one installed. It's a small investment to keep the air in your kitchen clean and dry. Wipe wet surfaces regularly, and wipe them completely dry.
Your kitchen does not have to be a mold magnet. With basic cleaning and drying techniques in place, you can keep mold away from your kitchen. If you do notice mold infestations that are considerable in size, and hard to control, don't attempt to scrub them clean on your own. Call a kitchen mold removal contractor immediately.
