"Working a mold problem. They were thorough, but didnâ t do more than necessary. They returned twice to ensure mold was inactivate at no additional cost. Original price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them and will use them again if necessary. They are good people."

"I am very pleased with him. He is great. I am very pleased. He works us in because he is busy. He had to fix the drywall, mud and something else. He is ready to paint. I am just waiting for him to call us back on that. I told him because he is real nice to us. We are elderly. I told him if you have a big paying job, go ahead and take it. Just to come back and do the painting when you can. He just went beyond. We had him do other things too. He had to dig a drainage system. We kept having mold. He was trying to fix that. We had to that first so we would not get anymore mold. He cleans everything around and puts stuff up. I appreciated that. We had been taken and I mean taken by two previous workers here. He had to even take like the wall, he said they did not do this right because it had only six studs or whatever it was and there should be eight. He said that is why so much moisture was getting behind that. The price was comparable. Joe DeMarco is the one that I use. He put windows frames around our windows that this other guy that was supposed to do and stole so much from us. When you walk into the room, how is looks at the top, then my son came in. He saw the mud or whatever you call it. my son said oh my can you tell a difference in the work. It is neat and looked professional. What I appreciated about Joe so much is that I explained to him that I am hearing impaired and he has to turn to me when he is talking. He does it and he is so patient. He is very patient with the elderly. I appreciate that."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Musty smells often indicate the presence of mold, which can lead to various health risks. Inhalation of mold spores may trigger allergic reactions, causing sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, and itchy or watery eyes. People who suffer from mold allergies or asthma may experience more severe respiratory problems. Certain types of mold, like black mold, can lead to mycotoxicosis, a condition associated with serious health effects like respiratory problems, fatigue, headaches, and skin irritation if exposure continues for an extended period. Those with weakened immune systems, respiratory problems, or allergies may be more vulnerable to the health risks that come with musty smells. Therefore, it is crucial to address and eliminate the source of the odor promptly.

Poor maintenance can cause some health concerns, although these are more common in commercial misters than residential versions. For example, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, some of which can be dangerous to human health, especially when inhaled. Regular flushing of the system before seasonal use should prevent issues like these.

Otherwise, avoid using mosquito misters with pesticides or plant misters with fertilizers near humans. These misters are not designed for cooling sprays around decks or patios, but for more utilitarian purposes.

The high humidity of steam showers creates the ideal environment for mold growth, so it’s important to stay proactive against it. Along with regular cleaning, run your bathroom fan during and after your steam shower. Keep your shower door open and any doors and windows in the bathroom to allow the space to air out properly. If you come across ugly mold spores, spray them with undiluted vinegar, let it sit for at least an hour, and then scrub away the mold.

While home mold tests can provide a simple identification of mold presence, they lack accuracy and reliability. These kits may detect mold spores but can't pinpoint the source or identify the type. Professional testing, combined with an inspection, is more comprehensive and leads to actionable next steps. 

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed.
