"They installed a Radon Mitigation system in a house I was selling. They had the best price, the experience I wanted, and were able to install a few days after I called. Technician was very nice and efficient in getting it installed. Good warranty too. I had my system installed in an encapsulated crawl space."

"Vince and his team were extremely responsive to my concerns about health complications due to mold. They safely removed the mold using containment, negative air/air scrubbers, removal of the drywall that had the mold on it, and carpet removal all through my basement window (to avoid cross-contamination). They also removed any furniture that I requested to be taken away. The team sprayed the area where the mold was, cleaned the entire basement with hepa vacuums and wiped down the entire basement. Vince responded to my many questions and concerns extremely quickly either by phone or visits to the house. I have reached out to him several times for advice and questions about other areas in the home since the remediation and he always gets back to me. Vince has been a reliable resource. I recommend Iowa Mold Removal to safely remove mold from your home. Vince is a pleasure to work with during a stressful time."

"If you have been online for long hours looking for a clean and efficient mover, then I have come with good news. Moving APT is what you need to contact right now. I wish someone told me about them earlier since I had spent many hours researching. They were in charge of my relocation to the city early this month, and they were thorough in their operation. The safety of my belongings was guaranteed, and nothing got damaged. You need to try them too. They are simply awesome."

"Our radon specialist, Tim Milledge, was terrific. Communication was excellent, he arrived on time, was professional, courteous and experienced. He was able to run the pipe line and place the other equipment in a way to be unobtrusive and did nothing to detract from the aesthetics of our property. He explained post procedures and cleaned up after himself, unusual these days with service providers, and completed the installation quickly and efficiently. We would highly recommend SWAT and, in particular Tim."

Biohazard Remediation questions, answered by experts

If you have mold under your vinyl flooring, it’s recommended that you have it ripped out and start fresh. Mold isn’t something to take lightly and should involve a visit from a professional who can both test and identify the mold. If you’re determined to remedy it yourself, wear all the proper protective equipment—eye goggles, a high N-rated mask, and long, disposable gloves.

Depending on the location of the water leak, it could go undetected for weeks, months, or even years in some extreme cases. Most homeowners who have plumbing leaks have slow drips, so you might not see signs of damage until they become severe problems. It’s a good idea to have a plumbing inspection done annually and to take steps yourself to check for leaks, including inspecting your floor, walls, and ceilings for signs of water damage, monitoring your utility bills, and looking for water around appliances and fixtures.

Although both bleach and vinegar are effective in killing mold on wood, vinegar is generally considered the better option. Bleach is a potent disinfectant that can swiftly and effectively eradicate most types of mold on wooden surfaces. However, diluting it with water and using it in a well-ventilated space while wearing protective gear is crucial as it can be harsh and potentially harm the wood's finish or discolor it.

On the other hand, vinegar is a gentler and more natural alternative that can successfully kill mold, but it may take longer and require multiple applications for persistent infestations. Vinegar is a safer option that is less likely to cause damage to wooden surfaces, making it an excellent choice for delicate areas or when a milder approach is preferred.

Mold loves a moist environment, so the best way to keep it from returning is to keep your machine as dry as possible. Take laundry out of the machine as soon as you can after a cycle finishes. If your laundry room is humid, consider using a dehumidifier or at least running a fan to increase airflow.

It's also a good idea to leave the washing machine door open when it's not in use, to improve airflow and keep the interior dry.

PVC is not considered a hazardous waste in most areas, but regulations vary by location. If in doubt, you should contact your local sanitation department to confirm. The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) has been working to get PVC classified as hazardous waste, so it’s possible that it will be considered as such in the near future. If it is, disposing of PVC will require the use of a hazardous waste disposal facility or transporter in your area.
