Turned out the damage was caused by mold due to an improperly constructed shower pan. A mold remediation specialist was recommend and we followed that recommendation. Inception also recommend that we bring over an environmental specialist to verify the work once completed. Here is where things started to unravel. The quote for the environmental specialist was $750; this seemed far too expensive for a commodity test. A very quick call to a few companies that provide such services revealed my suspicion was correct; I scheduled the appointment myself. Once the machines had been removed from the room, and the environmentalist arrived, he walked into the affected area and immediately walked out about 5 seconds later stating he could not pass this job. I contacted Inception, and to their credit, they promptly responded and scheduled the original mold remediation specialist to return and complete the job thoroughly. At this point I scheduled other mold remediation companies to come by and evaluate the job and provide their estimate for completing the same work. I met with an additional 4 providers over the course of the week. Every single one of them confirmed the original job was done very poorly. On top of that, their estimates for performing the same work, even more thoroughly and extensive, costs significantly less than the $3450.00 I paid. Now, that foolish mistake is on me. It was a costly lesson to learn. It seemed the knowledge that I had someone coming back to test the work caused the original mold remediation specialist to up his game significantly. Compared to the first time around, the bathroom got the royal treatment on the second pass. Why couldn't that be the way the work was done the first time? Only knowing that someone was going to verify the work did it enhance the quality of the job? Even still, I had to bring back another mold remediation specialist. I was absolutely not going to use the same company again. When the second company arrived and looked at the work performed, they still found it lacking, but better. Inception also provided a ballpark quote to rebuild the shower after the remediation was complete. My confidence with this company was already low, so I had additional contractors come by to provide additional estimates. First I spent a good day researching how showers should be constructed so I at least had some rudimentary knowledge of what I was getting into. Unsurprisingly, Inception's price was higher than that of the other contractors I contacted in all but 1 instance. That one instance was a larger company with an extensive portfolio performing work for HGTV with their own custom warehouse where they literally construct furniture and vanities from scratch. I would basically expect them to be more expensive. Again, to Inceptions credit, their recommendations for how the shower should be fixed were exactly in line with what the other contractors were saying and inline with the research I did re: showers. All told, I am chalking my experience up with Inception Home Remodeling to have been an overpriced disaster. I will stress again though that my contact at the company was very responsive and always answered his phone/text messages. I never felt abandoned on that front. Inception, however, should definitely never use that same mold remediation company again.

My garage door opener wasn't working properly, but the repair staff immediately fixed it. They replaced a sensor, tested the remotes, and ensured everything worked properly. Excellent service with a highly professional approach.

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts
If the smell is closer to mildew or rotten eggs, the issue is probably mold or bacteria buildup in the machine or its drainage system. Clean your washing machine thoroughly, paying close attention to the rubber door gasket, as it can harbor odor-causing residue. Some machines have lint or debris filters that should also be checked and cleaned according to the user manual's instructions. Be sure to leave the machine's door or lid open after each use, as this allows for better air circulation and helps prevent mold growth.
Professional carpet cleaning can cause mold if the job is not done properly. There are two ways this can happen—if your carpet cleaner fails to dry the carpet properly, or if your carpet cleaner uses an excessive amount of water during the cleaning process. Mold can grow wherever moisture is present, so make sure you hire a pro who knows the process inside and out.
Yes, mold under silicone caulk can potentially cause health issues, which may be more noticeable in people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Mold releases spores into the air, and inhaling these spores can cause symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and skin rashes. It's important to address mold issues promptly to protect your health.
Mold thrives in wet or moist conditions, so a fridge water dispenser can be the perfect place for them to live. You may transfer mold to the dispenser's nozzle by touching it with the rim of an unwashed water bottle or your hands.
If you see splotches that look like mold, you can clean them using vinegar. Distilled white vinegar is acidic enough to kill and remove most mold species.
Yes. Over time, hidden moisture from a leak in your bathroom may lead to black mold, requiring a mold remediation company’s services and the removal of large wall sections, which can be costly. For example, 100 square feet of drywall can cost as much as $400 to replace, while mold remediation can run anywhere from $500 to $3,000.
