"Luke, the owner is amazing! Very honest, knowledgeable, professional and proficient! My family had to ic mold so bad in our home for a very long time. We were all getting sick, I was the worst that the mold was attacking. We did not know why we were getting sick except for the reason perhaps the weather this year and the allergies. We started seeing the mold coming out in our bathrooms and up on the ceilings. That was an indicator we might be getting sick from the mold. A family friend of ours found this amazing company and I reached out. Luke, was so knowledgeable when I spoke with him on the phone. He came out to our home and ran 2 air tests and a swab test!!! He emailed us the results and called me to explain the results and let us know how BAD it really was!! It turned out it was not just the mold that was visible but the mold that we could not see and that we were breathing!! We then hired him to come and treat the mold!! I can honestly say that the mold is gone!! We have no more fear of living in our home and breathing toxic mold!! We are all feeling much better now! No more horrible coughs, running noses, headaches, fatigue feeling!!! I can not speak highly enough of this company!!! I recommend this company to anyone who knows they have mold or is in doubt and curious to have an inspection or run some tests in their home to be proactive! They did such a thorough job from testing, to treating and cleaning out home!!!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Using bowls of water for humidity can be an effective way to increase the humidity level in a room, but it's essential to consider potential risks. Placing bowls of water near heat sources might pose a hazard as they could spill, causing damage or creating slip hazards. Moreover, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria or mold (you really want to get rid of black mold stat) if not changed regularly, potentially negatively affecting indoor air quality. Water bowls can also accidentally spill onto surfaces, causing water damage to furniture or flooring. Regular maintenance and cautious placement can mitigate these risks.

Mold is not guaranteed to grow on wet drywall, but the risk increases significantly the longer the material remains wet. Mold and mildew can begin to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours, especially in optimal conditions, which include moist, dark places with temperatures between 77 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If the drywall is too wet to dry within that timeframe, mold can grow and spread. In any instance of water damage, it is wise to get a mold inspection to be certain that none has taken up residence in your home.

Toxic mold doesn't have a specific color; instead, toxicity depends on the type of mold and the mycotoxins it produces. Stachybotrys chartarum (also known as black mold) is notorious for its potential toxicity. However, not all molds appearing black are Stachybotrys chartarum. Mold species that appear in various colors, such as green, gray, brown, or black, can also produce mycotoxins. Therefore, it's essential to focus on identifying the type of mold through professional testing rather than relying solely on color to determine its toxicity.

Mold can grow on garage ceiling insulation, which is why it’s important to install a vapor barrier behind the insulation and keep the space cooled and heated as you would your living area. Doing so will more or less eliminate the risk of mold growing on your garage ceiling insulation. You can also install a self-draining dehumidifier to help remove moisture, or opt for a foam board insulation or spray foam insulation that won’t harbor moisture and mold.

The negatives of a humidifier are the potential for mold growth due to high humidity levels, the up-front cost, and the energy requirements to run it. Depending on the state of humidity in your home, you may not actually see lower utility bills due to the humidifier running on a near-constant basis.
