Q: Should I tell the insurance company that I think I have mold?

• <div><p>If you would like the insurance company to potentially help you pay for the mold remediation, you need to inform the insurer. When you notify your insurance company, they may say that you<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-need-mold-inspection.htm"> need a mold inspection</a> before receiving any money for mold remediation. It&rsquo;s possible that the insurer would not pay for this inspection unless they find mold.</p></div>

Q: How accurate are at-home mold tests?

• <div><p>Certainly, DIY mold tests are not perfect when trying to determine whether you have a mold problem. They could give you a false positive reading, or they may fail to detect mold that&rsquo;s behind a wall, especially if the infestation is still small. Ultimately, you should seek a mold inspection if the DIY test gives you a positive result, just to be certain. And if the test is inconclusive, it&rsquo;s probably worth seeking an inspection from a pro.</p></div>

Q: Do whole-house humidifiers cause mold in ducts?

• <div><p>Damp air from a humidifier can cause mold in ducts if it raises the air's humidity level too high for the duct system to handle or malfunctions, but it&rsquo;s not a normal occurrence. To avoid mold trouble, set the humidistat to between 30% and 35% and inspect it often to ensure accuracy.</p></div>

Q: Can you do mold remediation yourself?

• <div><p>In mild cases of mold growth, you can DIY mold remediation with a simple cleaning using safe and natural cleaning solutions like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, or lemon juice. However, if the mold is larger than 10 square feet or you suspect toxic black mold, you should not do mold remediation on your own. Instead, you should hire a professional mold removal company to handle the job.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels cause mold on the roof?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible that installing solar panels can lead to mold on the roof. The panels themselves are not the issue. Problems caused by improper installation&mdash;such as roof leaks and mounts that aren&rsquo;t sealed properly&mdash;can cause mold. Another potential cause of mold is debris accumulation under panels, which can trap moisture. If you live somewhere with extreme snow, rain, or hail, your home could be more prone to mold.</p></div>

"We hired Jeff to give us pre and post mold remediation air quality tests, and I am so glad we did. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable and had no conflict of interest on the outcome of the results since we had a different company doing the remediation. We actually had to go back to the mold remediation company when his air quality report did not pass clearance, and he was our chief advocate in getting the company to come back and do further remediation. He has been a great to work with because he is not only an expert but is a caring individual, and I would recommend anybody use his services. He also is licensed to test for asbestos, which is our next project before we remove our popcorn ceiling!"
