"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

"I wasn't sure what to expect when hiring a leak repair and mold expert. After his inspection, Jared told us what the process would be. Then, sealed off the area affected and did a neat clean up and rebuild for us. Fortunately, his prices were reasonable and his workmanship was great. After his team finished, the area was re-assembled nicer than when the builder did the work. Hopefully, we don't have any more leaks in the wall. But, I will call him again, if I have a need."

Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts

Water damage doesn’t always cause mold and wood rot, but it can. Both mold and wood rot require moisture in the wood to form, so water damage that continues to leave water or moisture behind can lead to both issues. Water damage and mold often go hand-in-hand, but you can prevent mold growth after water damage by addressing the source of moisture and drying out the area quickly. The same goes for wood rot. The longer you let water damage go, the higher the risk of mold and rot.

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.

When you smell something, it’s because the particles of what you are smelling are floating through the air. If you smell mold, it means that it’s airborne, and whether or not it’s harmful depends on the type of mold. It’s very hard to tell the difference between molds, even with the internet to guide you. Call a professional as soon as you see mold, they will test it, remove it, and make sure you aren’t breathing anything harmful.

Slime mold isn’t toxic to your dog, even if they eat it. Toxicity and comfort are two different things, and if you notice your dog eating slime mold, you should stop them, but not worry too much. Expect a period of gastrointestinal distress, and possibly some other complications, but your dog should be ok within a few days.

Mildew starts as a tiny spot, but if left untreated, it can severely damage your home as well as cause life-threatening health issues. Mildew eats away materials like wood and drywall and if left untreated can destroy entire walls and buildings. Mold sickness is almost a guarantee if you don’t tackle this problem as soon as it rears its head.
