Mold, mildew and other deadly toxins are dangerous to have in your home and around your family. Worse than this, is using the wrong product to remove such toxins. Once mold sets in, it is very difficult to get out of your home. Knowing that, you should hire a professional to do the work.

This can be a very rewarding career, one that can help restore a family's life back to health.

What kind of skills, training and education do I need?

You should be well educated on recognizing mold and other dangerous contaminants and the characteristics of each. You should also know the safest methods of getting rid of them without stirring up the spores that can damage lungs and cause disease in people. Training in handling dangerous materials is highly recommended. You should also be able to explain the seriousness of the matter to people without frightening them.

What is the competition?

Other mold or contaminant companies in the area may compete with you, but typically there is often more than enough work for everyone to remain in business.

What is the initial investment?

You would need a truck and a building for your business. You would also need equipment including the masks and suits that protect you and your crew while working with these deadly toxins. Any chemical products that are used would also be included in the initial investment.

What is the market size or potential?

The market size is virtually unlimited because mold can strike any home at any time. Mold can get started in dry basements or attics, in houses and office buildings and then work its way throughout the entire structure. These areas should be periodically inspected, especially if there was a mold problem in the past. Once mold gets started it might come back.

How is it Green?

By using the greenest techniques for killing the mold, you will not be contaminating the area with a chemical to get rid of an organic compound, albeit a harmful one. Make sure that all materials that are removed from the site are disposed of properly as well.

What else should I keep in mind? When you think of how devastating a mold infestation can be, it is impossible not to feel an immense sense of pride in your work. You are helping a family remain in their home, without fear of illness caused by the mold.
