"The solution is more than dealing with visible mold," said Kenneth B. Cornell, executive vice president, MG Environmental Inc., a division of American International Cos., which helped develop Hartford Steam Boiler's Mold Protection Program. In order to prevent future damage, Cornell said, "Schools must carefully manage the conditions that cause mold to grow. That takes a continuous effort to improve the way a facility is maintained." The Mold Protection Program also includes a Mold Remediation Policy that can pay for remediation costs if visible mold is discovered at an insured location. Clients have access to a mold remediation network specifically developed for this program. |
