American Mold Guard's Prevention Program Adds Value to Fresno County Homes; Lambeth Construction Makes Deal with American Mold Guard for All 126 New Houses in Laurel Tree Development.


SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO San Juan Capistrano (săn wän kăpĭsträ`nō), city (1990 pop. 26,183), Orange co., S Calif.; inc. 1961. San Juan Capistrano has some manufactures, including aircraft parts, medical apparatus, and boats, but the economy is , Calif. -- In Fresno, the growing community of Parlier, with over 12,000 people, is home to the new Laurel Tree laurel tree

 development, a collection of 126 single-family houses. Built by Lambeth Construction, this popular project has already sold more than half of the homes within 45 days of being placed on the market. Fortunately, for the new residents in this expanding community, there's little chance of mold ever growing too.

"We realized that mold was an issue and our mold prevention strategy revolved around two goals," said Ross Elliott, general manager of Lambeth Construction. "We wanted to actively provide mold protection in all instances while also making sure that we identify what we do for the homebuyer to gain his or her trust."

In order to achieve these goals, Lambeth Construction partnered with American Mold Guard (NASDAQ NASDAQ

They also took the unprecedented step of encouraging its buyers to walk through the home structure prior to sheetrock construction. Homebuyers could see for themselves how the wood framing could be exposed to moisture and therefore potentially become a source for mold.

American Mold Guard then utilized their soda-blasting process to remove any visible microbial growth from all wood surfaces before thoroughly cleaning the site and applying its antimicrobial antimicrobial /an·ti·mi·cro·bi·al/ (-mi-kro´be-al)

 performed a comprehensive inspection after treating each residence, and provided Lambeth with an address specific 10-year warranty protecting against future mold contamination.

At the completion of the AMG service, Lambeth invited the buyers to walk through the framing again, where they observed a mold-free, clean structure. "They don't have to worry what's behind the sheetrock," Elliott said. "By involving them in the process, we've created a positive experience, as well as a quality home. More importantly, they have the peace of mind that everything has been done to protect their home for years to come."

A recent study(1) of more than 20,000 homes found that more construction defects in single-family homes were discovered in the building envelopes than in any other place (41 percent). Any water leakage in the building envelope, whether it was during construction or once inhabited, can lead to moisture intrusion and mold contamination.

"Mold contamination has the potential to destroy a home's value, as well as the builder's reputation. Lambeth Construction has provided tremendous value to its homebuyers as well as a quality home they will enjoy for years to come," said Nik Heisinger, Vice President/California Region of American Mold Guard. "California is the base for American Mold Guard and it is very encouraging to see a builder like Lambeth acknowledge the importance of addressing this growing issue."

The peace of mind offered to buyers from the AMG guarantee may be the reason why American Mold Guard's services are used by many of the nation's leading builders, including DR Horton, Lennar, Standard Pacific, BOSA Development, The Olsen Group and Sares-Regis Group.
