We have a report from fungus a mungus showing low/moderate levels of mold in our basement and we are trying to sell our house. We need an estimate on ridding this.

Because of its lack of adequate natural ventilation systems, the basement provides fertile grounds for the growth off mold spores. There is very little heat in the basement, and conditions are usually dark and moist. Water from leaky pipes or inadequately waterproofed walls can cause mold spores to be attracted and to begin their breeding and infestation process. Mold in a basement can cover all surfaces of the basement like the walls, floors, ceilings etc.
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.
