"I had issues with my landlord trying to get me to pay for the mold removal in our apartment. John came in and tested the mold for free and when he found that the mold was under the apartment not in it, he told the landlord that it was his responsibility not ours. He is amazingly professional and friendly. He is friendly and my children loved watching him as he walked around looking at different areas. I would have him inspect again in a heartbeat if I needed it. I highly recommend him for any mold job you may have."

"The work was done on time and professionally. The contractors went well beyond the four corners of the contract to make sure I was happy. While only time will tell if the company's claims of lifetime remediation will avail, I can say simply that I am very satisfied with the work that was done and believe it was well worth the price."

"Sal was recommended to us by a friend that found him here on Angie's List. We had him completely gut our bathroom to the studs. Overall he did a great job. Everything was undated that needed to be including plumbing, exhaust fan, mold resistant wet area dry wall etc. The shower he built turned out perfect and we get compliments from everyone thats sees it. At first we thought his price was a little high, but we are so glad we went with him. You actually do get what you pay for. I gave him a "B" under responsiveness only because we had to wait approx 6 weeks for him to schedule the work. With that said it is a good comfortable feeling to know that he is that busy and in such a high demand. I would recommend Scott to anybody that wants a honest quality job done at an affordable price point.

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth after water damage is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.

A mold inspection costs an average of $660, with a typical range between $300 and $1,025. However, costs can be as low as $150 or as high as $2,800 depending on several factors. These include the size of your home, the type of mold, the extent and accessibility of the affected area, your location, and the number and type of samples required. Hard-to-reach areas like air ducts, crawl spaces, and wall cavities can increase the cost. Specific tests have different prices; for example, swab testing typically costs $200 to $300 per area, while more extensive air testing can range from $250 to $700. A thorough inspection is crucial for determining the scope of the problem and identifying the best remediation method.

No. When dry, mold enters a dormant state. While “sleeping,” the mold won’t multiply, but when it encounters moisture again, it springs back to life, releasing spores. That's why it's crucial to not only control humidity but also actively eliminate mold to prevent its resurgence and further growth inside your home.

Mildew starts as a tiny spot, but if left untreated, it can severely damage your home as well as cause life-threatening health issues. Mildew eats away materials like wood and drywall and if left untreated can destroy entire walls and buildings. Mold sickness is almost a guarantee if you don’t tackle this problem as soon as it rears its head.

You can find the smell of mold in your house in two ways: following your nose, and using common sense tactics like looking anywhere there’s water first. Mold cannot form in a completely dry environment, which is why you see mold much more often under kitchen sinks than on garage floors. If you have looked everywhere and still can’t find the source, hire a pro, because you may have mold in your walls.
