"Dave was super helpful and steered me toward the real solution I needed -- not testing but direct remediation of a leaking window and wall. His experience really helped get the job done and to calm my nerves after I discovered the leak!"

"For anyone looking for a reliable and honest company- I highly recommend Pacific Pure Maintenance. After having exposure to TOXIC mold in my home, I had Pacific Pure Maintenance quote the project for mold remediation. My insurance company however, had me go with another company that cut and removed the mold without doing any kind of treating to the air. Months later I was still ill and contacted Pacific Pure Maintenance and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. They removed the toxins /air spores that were continuing to make me sick. (Something that other companies did not do NOR recommend). At the time, I knew NOTHING about mold exposure and I was looking to the experts for advise and none of the other mold removal companies were as helpful as Pacific Pure Maintenance. I am forever grateful to this company for doing what other companies didnt and going above and beyond."

Thank you so much for the experience."

"They were quick to respond and came the same day as requested as we were urgently trying to assess a mold situation in our new home. The testing was comprehensive and I really appreciated being able to observe and discuss the situation with a professional while he gathered samples. However, the service felt incomplete when I received the test results with somewhat alarming news and no information about how to proceed. I wish I could have had a follow up consultation to discuss the results instead of trying to interpret them myself online. It took 3-4 more days to receive what appeared to be general remediation advice, and I was not able to get specific input for our home. If you are simply looking for someone to test your home and give you lab results, these guys will do this well, however if you are looking for someone to help solve a mold problem in your home, this is only a very small first step."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

While fiberglass dust is not generally considered toxic, inhaling the fibers can cause irritation to the respiratory system, eyes, and skin. Short-term exposure may lead to temporary discomfort, including coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath. However, prolonged or chronic exposure can result in more severe respiratory problems. Unlike asbestos, fiberglass is not associated with life-threatening illnesses. To minimize health risks when working with fiberglass materials, it is essential to use proper safety measures, such as wearing protective equipment like masks and goggles.

In some cases, yes, insulating an unheated garage can lead to mold and mildew. The issue with insulating a garage is that the interior will warm up and cool down more slowly than the exterior air, which can cause condensation inside the space. Where there is moisture, there is likely to be mold and mildew over time. Installing a vapor barrier can help avoid moisture and mildew problems in an insulated garage.

While the resistance of lime to mold is a hotly contested topic of debate, it is true that because it allows porous materials to breathe, it avoids trapping moisture close to the structure of a building. This breathability makes it less susceptible to mold than paint because it gathers less moisture.

Mold in HVAC ducts is a relatively common issue that homeowners struggle with—especially in humid climates or homes with poor ventilation. Moisture from condensation, combined with dust and organic debris, creates the perfect environment for mold growth. Homes with high humidity, leaky ducts, or clogged drains are more prone to this issue. Regular inspections and proper HVAC maintenance significantly reduce the risk of mold developing in your ducts.

Poor maintenance can cause some health concerns, although these are more common in commercial misters than residential versions. For example, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, some of which can be dangerous to human health, especially when inhaled. Regular flushing of the system before seasonal use should prevent issues like these.

Otherwise, avoid using mosquito misters with pesticides or plant misters with fertilizers near humans. These misters are not designed for cooling sprays around decks or patios, but for more utilitarian purposes.
