Mold spores may enter your house from the outside through open doorways, windows, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems with outdoor air intakes. Spores in the air outside also attach themselves to people and animals, making clothing, shoes, bags, and pets convenient vehicles for carrying mold indoors.

ZWS does not perform the structural drying itself; instead, our professionals ensure that the building is dried correctly and in a timely manner. Prompt drying is essential for preventing structural damage and mold growth. When ZWS is on the project, you have a leading professional with your best interests in mind. ZWS provides third party verification at a fraction of the structural drying cost by using time saving technology (such as thermal imaging cameras) to locate areas of elevated moisture.
