"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!"

"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

A mold inspection, especially in homes with a history of water damage or high humidity, is critical for maintaining a healthy living space. Mold can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems, particularly for individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems. Unchecked mold growth can lead to structural damage, resulting in costly repairs. A thorough inspection identifies visible mold and uncovers hidden sources to allow for timely remediation, preventing further damage and health risks.

The symptoms of mold exposure for sensitive parties include a skin rash, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, burning eyes, and even more severe allergic reactions. If you notice signs of mold exposure, contact a medical professional right away.

Black mold appears in areas with constant moisture and has a slightly fuzzy texture. It’ll have a primarily circular pattern. While it’s known to have a black color, it can also appear dark green, or dark brown, although a few types include orange or white flecks. Identifying black mold is important because people who inhale the spores could suffer respiratory issues or neurological problems. Black mold is a toxic material and requires a professional to remove it.

Several factors affect the color of mold, including humidity levels, age of the mold, and amount of light it receives. A patch of mold that starts out green may darken and turn black as it ages. A species of mold may be green if growing in one environment, but be black in another environment. Color usually isn't a reliable way to determine mold species or risk.

Both mildew and mold come from fungi. One of the main differences is that mildew’s texture is dry and powdery, whereas mold is fuzzy and slimy. In addition, mildew isn’t very thick, while mold looks three-dimensional. Also, mildew is typically light in color, whereas mold comes in various shades, including green and black.
