ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- By following the simple phrase "clean, kill and coat," property owners who are getting back on their feet after this year's unusually active hurricane season can prevent recurring mold and mildew problems, says Troy Anderson, senior technical adviser at Foster Products, the technological leader in mold and mildew-resistant coatings.

"Anytime flooding or storm-related water damage has occurred, there's a good chance for mold growth," Anderson says.

Anderson says property owners should use extra care when choosing coatings to protect against the return of mold and mildew.

"Not all coatings are the same," he says."In our decades of experience at Foster Products, we've found that some mold- and mildew-resistant coatings work and some simply fall short.A good piece of advice is to insist that contractors use a coating that has been scientifically proven to resist the growth of mold and mildew."

According to Anderson, it's also important to ensure the right mold- resistant coatings are used for the job at hand.He says not all coatings work on all surfaces and it's best to use coatings engineered for specific applications, such as walls and air conditioning ducts.

"It's bad enough to suffer through a disaster and then take on all of the challenges involved with the recovery process," Anderson says.

Turnbaugh also referenced an Oct. 5 letter from Troy Anderson, technical services group leader for Foster Products, manufacturer of the sealant used on the HVAC insulation.

Even if any fumes could be detected, Anderson wrote, the amounts would be minuscule.

"The extensive water damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita created conditions that are ripe for mold growth in homes and businesses," says Troy Anderson, Foster senior technical adviser.

The longer mold has access to warmth, moisture and food, the more it will grow and spread," said Anderson.
