Built our home in 2004. Found ants coming from wall near tub, sprayed and opened wall and found black mold. Called builder who stated it was from grout in shower that has fallen out. Builder refusing to fix. Wife has been having trouble breathing, and have a 6 year old with a bad cough. I have drywall piece to replace hole in wall, just want to make sure mold is removed the right way. Please help!!

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.
Always keep your drains clean. Your drains always attract spores because of the dampness and the food that gets stuck down the pipe. Pour bleach or drain cleaner down the drain to clean it. A mixture of baking soda and vinegar too can help kill spores. Use lemon rind cut up into pieces or ice cubes to remove mold spores from your garbage disposal. Clean out your trash can regularly, and never leave it standing with food inside for more than 24 hours. Wipe wet surfaces immediately, and dry with an absorbent towel. If you have a carpet in your kitchen, take care to keep it dry. If there is a mold infestation on your carpet, they may be no other option, but to get rid of that section.
If you keep your kitchen dry, and make sure that air is circulated freely, you should be able to find no mold growth.
