The PIA Western Alliance is hosting a summit on moisture management/mold control on January 12, 2006 at the Doubletree Suites Southcenter in Seattle. The goal is to build awareness and policies within the insurance industry and among realtors, contractors and lenders that preventative steps can be taken to reduce their exposure to losses resulting from moisture damage.

PIA said the technology, when used to guide the moisture management evaluation, provides a understandable assessment of a property in terms of existing problems and identifies issues that -- if addressed immediately -- will normally not become a claim in the future. When builders implement this moisture management system, liabilities claims will decline and health claims associated with mold exposure can be reduced.
