Previously A+ Cleaning & Restoration, Defender Water & Mold Restoration is owned by Kevin Ricke and Tra Griffin. Defender is the #1 Authority in water/mold remediation services, has completed over 8,500 projects/inspections, and is a veteran owned and operated company. Kevin Ricke is a Vietnam Vet (Navy) and has been in the restoration industry for over 45 years. He's owned/operated all types of home service businesses ranging from carpet cleaning to plumbing services. To say Kevin is an expert is an understatement; there's nobody in the state of Alabama that has his knowledge when it comes to water/mold restoration. Tra Griffin served in the Marine Corps Infantry with two combat deployments to Iraq. In the civilian world, Tra spent time running operations for an INC 5000 franchise as well as overseeing operations, maintenance and renovations for a nation-wide SFR Property Management Company.

"This business was prompt, efficient and knew just what to do and how to do it. Will definitely call Cheaha Home Solutions again!"

Our Board Certified Environmentalists utilize standard mold tests as well as advanced environmental testing, when needed, that no other mold testing companies offer. We offer lower pricing and unrivaled customer service as we not only assign you a Board Certified Mold Inspector to conduct your testing, we also assign every client a personal Sr. Mold Analyst to explain your certified microbiology reports and help guide you step by step through the confusing world of mold contamination. We provide not only exceptional service, but the peace of mind your family or your co-workers deserve.

"On May 25, 2022 I spoke to a representative of the Mold Test Company and explained that I had recently inherited a property and had not been lived in for quiet some time and was beginning the restoration process to make it livable again which included having a mold test completed. I was quoted $499 for the complete test in addition to a $50 deposit that was required to confirm appointment. I made it clear that I currently lived over 4 hours away from the property needing the test but we agreed upon a date and time that worked for all parties. Deposit was paid over the phone for confirmed 11am on 5/29/2022. I arrived at the property at 10:40am yet the technician called me about 15 after 11am to inform me the he was 15 minutes away. Arriving at church 11:30. We walk through the property and he gives me some information and points out a few things and then prepares to set up his equipment only to realize he would need a generator to complete being that the home isn’t occupied and has not been for quite some time, there is no electricity. I point out that I was not informed the equipment needed electricity although I mentioned the property had been closed up for years when making the appointment. As the expert and professional this should have been clarified prior to confirming appointment or taking payment. Technician informed that he had a generator but it wasn’t with him and he lived about 2 hours away so the appointment that I had driven 4+ hours to make would have to be rescheduled. It then took almost a full week for someone to return and follow up about this issue in which the solution suggested was to Mail this company the keys to my property to conduct the test in my absence and hitch was a red flag because I don’t know them for one and if I’m not there to see them test my property how do o know they’d even travel back to my property and complete a test instead of just telling they did and charging $499. I refused to send my keys and instead asked for a refund of my deposit. I was told he would submit my request and ended the call About a month later I still had not received my refund or any communication of it so I called and after several attempts spoke to someone who informed me that my refund request was denied because the technician said I refused services at the door and something else about canceling rescheduled appointment when nothing was every rescheduled to begin with and service was not completed bc technician did not have the necessary information equipment. I total LIE over $50. My $50 that I work hard for and have already been more than inconvenienced over. I have tried multiple time to remediate this issues but I just keep getting shuffled around to leave voicemails and no answers about my money. This is extremely unprofessional and unreasonable. I will follow up with the BBB and CFPB as well. Unacceptable and should be removed as a reliable referral from Angi"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Not necessarily. If the mold is only on the surface or in small areas, you may be able to clean it effectively without removing all the caulk. However, if the mold has deeply penetrated the caulk or the caulk is damaged or deteriorating, you should remove the caulk completely and replace it to ensure thorough mold removal and prevent future growth.

Mold in your air conditioner isn't a good thing, as it can be harmful to your health. If the mold travels through the ductwork or is blown out of the A/C, you and your family can inhale mold spores and develop respiratory illnesses and other problems. Preventing mold from growing in the air conditioner will help protect your health.

Mold inspections cost anywhere from $300 to $1,025, depending on the type of mold, the extent of the area that requires testing, your location, and the accessibility of the affected area. A mold inspection is an important part of the overall process, helping determine the scope of the problem and understanding the best remediation method based on the type of mold discovered.

Yes, if installed correctly. Moisture barrier padding blocks dampness from reaching the padding core and subfloor, where mold loves to grow, especially in humid environments like basements. However, poor installation with gaps or loose seams can do the exact opposite, trapping moisture and creating mold problems. So, make sure to do your installation carefully or hire a professional.

It‘s risky to pressure wash indoors, and we wouldn’t recommend it, but following all safety guidelines can prevent the worst outcomes. Always make sure to use an electric-powered machine over one that’s gas-powered, remove obstacles that could cause tripping or falling, and keep appliances like hair dryers and toothbrushes unplugged and out of the way to prevent electrical hazards.
