Q: Can you paint over mold?

• <div><p>Painting over mold is not an effective solution and can actually make the problem worse. Instead, it traps moisture, which allows mold to grow and spread beneath the surface. Mold must be completely removed before painting to ensure the problem doesn&rsquo;t recur. If mold is painted over, it may eventually seep through the new layer of paint, causing discoloration and peeling.</p></div>

Q: Should I use fungicide on mushrooms?

• <div><p>Since most mushrooms are beneficial for your grass, and otherwise harmless, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to kill them with fungicide. If you suspect you have a poisonous type of mushroom in your grass, you should consult a professional concerning mitigation. There are lots of types of mushrooms and most are perfectly safe.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to be worried about asbestos?

• <div><p>If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there&rsquo;s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it&rsquo;s disturbed from removal. If you suspect that you have asbestos, you&rsquo;ll want to call in <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asbestos-abatement/">an asbestos removal expert</a> to evaluate the situation. </p></div>

Q: Does homeowner’s insurance cover black mold?

• <div><p>If <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-signs-you-need-mold-remediation.htm">you need mold remediation</a>, you&rsquo;re probably looking at a bill of a couple thousand dollars or more. Sometimes, though, your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policy may cover some or all of the costs of the remediation. If the black mold forms because of a covered event, such as a storm that damages your roof, and causes leaking or flooding in the basement, it&rsquo;s possible the policy also covers mold remediation. It never hurts to ask your insurance company if it will cover the cost of black mold remediation.</p></div>

Q: How do you check for mold in the air in your house?

• <div><p>Nearly all homes have at least some airborne mold spores. If you want to determine the concentration of spores in the air, you have a few options. The most effective option is to hire a professional tester who can take air samples of the home. The tester would send the samples to a laboratory to determine the concentration of mold spores. </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!"
