"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
If a professional mold inspector finds mold in your home, they’ll conduct mold testing to determine the type of mold species and the number of spores in your home. This plan will help develop a remediation plan, where a mold remediation specialist will remove the spores from your home. Since mold remediation costs the average homeowner $2,225, it’s best to treat mold at the first sign rather than waiting.
Mold thrives in wet or moist conditions, so a fridge water dispenser can be the perfect place for them to live. You may transfer mold to the dispenser's nozzle by touching it with the rim of an unwashed water bottle or your hands.
If you see splotches that look like mold, you can clean them using vinegar. Distilled white vinegar is acidic enough to kill and remove most mold species.
Vermiculite insulation that comes from a particular mine before 1990 is likely to contain asbestos. This is particularly true in the U.S. However, not all types of vermiculite insulation contain asbestos. Since you can't detect the presence of asbestos without special equipment, it's best to assume that the insulation contains the dangerous mineral and to either leave it alone or hire a professional to handle it.
The duration of mildew smell in carpets depends on several factors, including the extent of moisture, cleanliness, and ventilation. If promptly addressed, the smell can diminish within a few days to a couple of weeks after thoroughly drying and cleaning the carpet. However, in severe cases or if not properly treated, the smell might persist. Persistent odors could indicate deeper mildew growth, requiring professional cleaning or, in extreme cases, carpet replacement to completely eliminate the smell.
Standard wood stains often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which the EPA states can irritate those exposed to their odor. Inhaling the fumes can pose health risks to humans. Prolonged exposure to VOCs from wood stains can lead to wood stain poisoning, manifesting in symptoms such as a burning sensation, blurred vision, and even collapse. Taking precautions when using these products is crucial to minimize the risk of adverse health effects.
