"David, at Gardner Environmental Services, professionally performed numerous air sample tests inside our home due to a minor smelling of mold in one spot.Fortunately, his lab resource came back with negative results on each location sample David tested. David was reassuring and pleasant to work with. I would recommend his company, to anyone."

"I would be remiss if I didn't take the time to write a review for Green Home Solutions. I was in a total quandary when I spotted black mold on a baseboard in one of our bedrooms. I knew immediately that we had to have this checked out since my wife uses that room a lot when I snore. Not knowing who to call, I went on a neighborhood website and found the info for Green Home. I immediately called and was in touch with Autumn and then Jim within one hour. We set up a testing meeting and Jim was there at the exact time and was ready to go. After some pleasantries (and he is a friendly guy) he got to work checking out our entire home and that bedroom in particular. He used very high-tech equipment and pinpointed the spot with the mold. We determined that the window on that wall had rotted seals and was surely the source of water getting in. Jim left and within 2 days I had the complete report of what he found and a detailed report on the remediation. I quickly okayed the project and we had a date the next week for work to begin. Again, Jim and his assistant were right on time and set everything up to begin the remediation process. Let me add, at this point, that they set everything up to cause the least amount of mess and dust to any other part of the house. They got to work and within that day had the wall out and identified the mold and its source. They also found some mold in the attic and identified those sources as defective vents from bathrooms. Jimâ s friend Dean, a roofer, identified those problems and will be remediating those issues. After the entire process of removal was over I still had some questions and Jim came out again the next day with a new HEPA unit and helped me clean dust from the room. A week later his wife, Autumn, was out to do a final check of mold levels in the bedroom and attic. We are now in the clear (no pun intended). Being a senior citizen I deal with a lot of home repair people and Jim Blandi is one of the best, nicest and most professional company owners you will deal with. GHS gets my 100% endorsement.

"I am extremely satisfied with the mold inspection and remediation services! The team conducted a thorough inspection of the entire property, used professional equipment to measure moisture levels, and clearly explained where the issues were located. After we agreed on the scope of work, they promptly began the remediation process: everything was done carefully, using safe products, and they provided a detailed report with before-and-after photos. The entire process was smooth, on schedule, and stress-free. I especially want to highlight their high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to answer all my questions. Now the air in my home is fresh again, with no unpleasant odors. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable mold specialists!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Yes, mold can grow under your shower tiles if they aren’t thoroughly waterproofed. Even if you have a durable, non-porous tile material, water can make its way through grout or gaps around the edges of the shower. This will slowly erode the grout, which can cause tiles to come loose. It can also trap moisture behind tiles, and within a day or two, mold and mildew can rapidly grow.

The best way to measure moisture levels in drywall is with a moisture meter. Moisture meters feature small probes that you insert into drywall (similar to pushing a pin into the wall). Ideally, you'll take moisture readings at several locations on the wall to get a general idea of the moisture level.

Yes, mold on wood furniture can be dangerous, especially if it is identified as black mold. Inhaling spores or touching mold can make some people sick with respiratory issues, skin rashes, and eye irritation. However, some people have mild or no symptoms after exposure to mold. If you are going to clean mold off wood furniture, you should wear protective equipment to avoid direct exposure.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

Both wood-burning stoves and fireplaces can emit smoke and other combustion gases that are harmful to human health. According to the American Lung Association, wood smoke can lead to coughing and wheezing as well as long-term health impacts like increased risks for heart attacks and stroke. 

Newer models meet the modern efficiency standards set in 2020 by the Environmental Protection Agency for cleaner burning, more efficient wood stoves. Regular maintenance can also minimize smoke.
