"Many people advised me not to contact a Mold Inspector, because â They always find moldâ . These are people who donâ t go to dentists because they might find cavities. The first time I hired Steve Ramos, he found â No Moldâ on the property I asked him to inspect so I knew I could trust him. This year I suspected I had mold in my rental property and wanted to be sure my pregnant tenant was safe. Steve not only found the source of mold, he told me exactly what type of mold I was dealing with, what the risks were to my tenant and unborn child, and what steps I needed to take to eliminate it. He was always available, and still is, to answer my questions and work with my contractor to insure a safe environment for my tenants and their baby. Nobody wants to have to call a mold inspector, but if you do, I urge you to call Steve Ramos. He is not only excellent on a professional level, he is also honest and caring on a personal, human level and goes way beyond his job description to help his clients."

"Rick, the owner of Ovation put us instantly at ease. His suggestions led us to not only remodel our bathroom, but extend remodeling to the rest of our home. Our first meeting, and every interaction following with Rick's crew was positive. They came, they worked hard, always smiling and were very flexible towards our needs. We heard how much they thought of Rick and his wife Jessica, which only confirmed we made the right choice. Issues came up, which we didn't count on, and I'm embarrassed to admit Rick & Jessica were on the receiving end of my stress, but despite this, Rick always remained patient, and even Jessica called to reassure me she was working on it. In the end, my whole house was completely made over with new bathroom cabinets (including linen storage) flooring, doors, trim, molding and paint. The quality of our remodel has turned our home into an amazing staycation. We hope to have Rick & Jessica over for dinner, not only because Rick is a was, but because we want to show our gratitude"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

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.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.

Yes, a one-time water leak can cause mold. Depending on the conditions, mold can begin to grow within 12 to 48 hours. The risk increases with the severity of the leak, high humidity, and when water soaks into absorbent materials like drywall. To prevent mold growth, stop the leak immediately and ensure the area is dried completely; running a blower fan for 24 hours is recommended. If you do notice mold, it's best to call a mold removal specialist to address the situation.

Pressure-treated wood offers some protection from the elements but doesn’t protect against mold. However, if you spot mold growing on pressure-treated wood, it doesn’t indicate rot or an interior fungal infection—the treatment process ensures that the mold stays on the exterior. Keep the wood dry, but if you spot some mold, remove it immediately and clean the area.

Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.
