Re: Mold Prevention coatings applied during new construction

What builders really need to do is build homes that can keep
the water out, that have properly done plumbing and that
have correct grading so water doesn't pool around the
house. Then there won't be mold inside the walls etc. I
see too many builders doing roofs wrong, and entirely
omitting window flashing, now omitting house wrap also.
Nearly every new house in my area has bad grading so there's
a drainage problem on one side of the house. These new homes
are made of mold-food (OSB, paper covered drywall board,
certain types of insulation that rot when moist, and other
wood and/or paper and partially wood/paper products made
from things that may be moldy to begin with, like bark and
other waste), and the new homes frequently leak. No spray
or gimicky product will fix that problem but I bet a few
companies will make a small fortune selling that stuff
nonetheless.
