"Noah scheduled an estimator to come to my house 30 minutes after my phone call. Moises came and gave me a reasonable price. He was prompt and courteous. The next day Hiram and Orge came to do the work. They were prompt and friendly. They did an excellent job removing the mold. Brian called me to keep me appraised of what they did and how long they will be leaving the dehumidifier and other drying equipment in the garage. This company is prompt, professional, and courteous and did an excellent job. I would definitely use them again."

"Quick to respond, thorough, and reasonably priced. They acted conservatively to minimize costs - when other water remediation companies wanted to rip out drywall and counters and have them replaced, they opted to dry out as much of the affected area as possible with minimal damage. In the end, all we had to do after they dried and treated the area was fix our plumbing and replace the flooring for the area."

"The tester was well versed in this area even showing the areas that were high in moisture. Very friendly and informative as well as professional. Made me comfortable with the experience she had. When the owner and maintenance worker failed she made me comfortable. Fae who had the credentials as well experience explained everything in detail. Definitely use Fae!!!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

The primary difference is that black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is considered toxic and more dangerous than regular mold. It can produce harmful chemicals called mycotoxins, which may lead to severe health issues like respiratory problems, skin irritation, headaches, and other long-term complications. While regular mold is rarely toxic, it can still cause allergic reactions and respiratory irritation. Visually, black mold often appears dark—green, gray, brown, or black—with a fuzzy texture, whereas regular mold can be almost any color. Black mold is less common and typically grows in areas with severe water damage. Regardless of the type, you should not ignore any mold infestation in your home.

While it isn’t as dangerous as black mold, pink mold in the shower or elsewhere still poses some health risks, particularly for people with compromised immune systems. Even if you’re in good health, pink mold could cause an infection if it gets into your eyes or penetrates your skin through an open wound.

Yes, outside leaks can easily cause damage to your home if you don’t have waterproofing measures in place. Regularly check your property for signs of a leak, ensure your home’s landscaping is at least at a 5% slope, your basement windows are sealed, and you have an aligned gutter system to catch rainwater.

Condensation in your dryer can create a dangerous situation. It can cause lint to clog up the venting components of the system. If you have a gas-powered dryer, excessive lint buildup can create the potential for carbon dioxide buildup within your home. Clogged vent systems can also be a severe fire hazard. 

Dog vomit slime mold is not toxic to humans, plants or pets. However, it can act as an allergen to people with allergies. Dog vomit slime mold is considered more of a cosmetic nuisance. However, it is beneficial to its ecosystem as it helps break down organic matter, releasing nutrients for plants.
