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.

We have mold building up on the inside of our windows and would like for someone to come out and take a look at it to offer some advice, consultation and maybe mold remediation. Thank you very much

The basement harbors perfect conditions for the growth of mold in your home. It's used as a storage area, and therefore there is very little heat. The air can easily become damp when there is a leaky pipe in the basement.. Add to that the fact that the basement is rarely as developed and as well ventilated as the rest of the house and you have all the perfect conditions for a moldy basement. Mold in the basement can cover all surfaces -- walls, ceiling tiles, and cement sheets. Any wooden cabinetry or furniture you have in the basement is susceptible to mold infestation.
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.
Containing mold in the basement is often a tricky affair. Dislodged spores that have been scrubbed loose can easily make their way to the rest of the house through the vents and ducts in the basement.
