"Excellent. Jefert Palmer, the proprietor, was timely, professional, reasonably priced and accommodating. I highly recommend his services for your mold testing and remediation needs. Thank you - June 2020."
"Going for a refi and the appraiser noticed mold on the ceiling in a bath. It's a vaulted ceiling. I needed to remediate the mold to close on the refi. I called Southside Mold Testing & Cleanouts and within a week, the mold was remediated. Brian and his crew were professional, prompt, and fair with pricing. Hope I never need this service again, but if I do, I would not hesitate to call Brian to do the work. What I thought was going to be a nightmare turned out to be pretty painless. Would highly recommend. Thanks!"
"Rapid mold services and Augustin were absolutely amazing!!! We had extensive mold in our kitchen and they worked endlessly to remediate it all while keeping costs as low as possible. They worked in a timely manner, kept us up to date and educated through everything they did, and had excellent communication. I would recommend them time and time again!"
"This company is hands down one of the best company’s we’ve ever worked with. Selling our house, mold was discovered and Patrick and his crew handled it with ease. From the initial phone call to the projects, end, we felt extremely confident working with Patrick. He was knowledgeable and thoroughly explained the step by step process. The day of remediation, his crew was prompt and left the work area extremely clean. The company’s’ 5 year transferrable warranty is piece of mind and not standard in the industry. We highly recommend Mold Removal Solutions!"
"Overall was good for what the service is. The technician was a postal worker and home inspector. So mold test company appears to be brokers. Their pricing was competitive from other quotes I received but I honestly think it was pricey for time spent and what they do. But like I said the price was pretty standard from the companies I called, in my opinion. But the technician was attentive and knowledgeable, and friendly."

"Max just left my home and I already know he is the person to make our home safe! He will pack out our basement, remove mold, and remediate asbestos. I couldn’t be more happier! We are also looking for him to epoxy the floors."
"GCPRO were the most professional and technology-equipped of all the estimators who came to look at this project. They had laser measures, tools for reading how wet the drywall was, infrared cameras to look at the water saturation... It was impressive! They also were very competitive in pricing. I chose them for those reasons and because they were start-to-finish, handling the remediation and removal efforts all the way through to reconstruction and finishing efforts. The technology carried through those efforts as well, with 3D scanning to measure space and material requirements. The two carpenters who worked on putting everything back together (and actually beyond what was originally there, Janusz and Yaroslav, were extremely professional, polite, detail-oriented and neat. I am astounded by the quality of their craftsmanship. I cannot recommend GCPRO enough!"
Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts
Mold can be hazardous to your health. Some people are allergic to mold and experience a reaction when exposed to mold spores. The reaction varies from person-to-person, but can include a runny nose, skin irritation, and asthma attack. Mold can also be irritating to people who aren't allergic, causing respiratory, skin, and eye irritation. In some cases, mold exposure can lead to infections.
Water damage doesn’t always cause mold and wood rot, but it can. Both mold and wood rot require moisture in the wood to form, so water damage that continues to leave water or moisture behind can lead to both issues. Water damage and mold often go hand-in-hand, but you can prevent mold growth after water damage by addressing the source of moisture and drying out the area quickly. The same goes for wood rot. The longer you let water damage go, the higher the risk of mold and rot.
Black mold appears in areas with constant moisture and has a slightly fuzzy texture. It’ll have a primarily circular pattern. While it’s known to have a black color, it can also appear dark green, or dark brown, although a few types include orange or white flecks. Identifying black mold is important because people who inhale the spores could suffer respiratory issues or neurological problems. Black mold is a toxic material and requires a professional to remove it.
Yes, mold can grow in a wet dryer vent. Mold is a type of fungi, and fungi thrive in warm, moist conditions. Dryer vents need to be aired out so heat can escape and moisture can dry. If your dryer vents aren’t properly vented, the trapped heat and moisture will cause mold to grow, and the mold can spread to the dryer and even your clothes. Not only can this leave a musty smell on your freshly laundered clothes, but—more importantly—it also poses a health risk.
Mold is a blight on your home but over time, can be an extreme health risk, especially for immunocompromised individuals. Depending on the type of mold you’re dealing with, you could even experience neurological symptoms, or in extreme cases, you can be hospitalized. Even a tiny speck of toxigenic mold can cause a whole slew of very serious health issues. Deal with any mold issues immediately.
