"We called Pure Maintenance when we discovered mold in our attic and they were very responsive to our Angi request. They came out promptly, did a thorough review and provided photos of the mold extent. Unfortunately, they were not able to perform all of the services we wanted to have done so we opted for a different provider. I would recommend them for light mold restoration - everyone was very courteous, knowledgeable and professional."

"The technician arrived on time and promptly began diagnosing the air conditioning system. When freon levels were checked, it showed that the levels were showing an over charge of the system. When some of the freon was bled off, the numbers went all over the place. The tech cleaned the air conditioner using our own hose, which was not put back in its proper place after he was through with it. We were then advised that we would have to "wait and see" if their repairs would have any effect on the ability of the air conditioner to keep the inside temperature below 79. The tech left and advised they would be back later in the day, or the next day. We paid the bill for the service call and the cleaning of the air conditioner, even though our hose was used. That was $152. After several hours, it became evident that the repairs were having no effect. We waited until 5pm for a phone call regarding a follow-up. At that point we called Purcell, and were told that a tech would be out to follow up. When he arrived, he looked at the system again and couldn't uncover any new issues. We then asked for a quote for a new air conditioner/furnace. At this point, the techs savvy car salesman like skills were quite evident. In addition, they don't participate in the current Ameren Act-on-energy rebates, which would add up to $800. To make up for this, the tech offered a $100 off his total price for the estimates, which ranged from $3400 to $17000. Over the next few days, we had 4 different companies come out to give us estimates on new air conditioners. One company wanted to inspect the current air conditioner we had, to ensure that nothing could be done to the current unit. Upon inspection, it was found that the compressor of the air conditioner was not functioning, which would not allow any tech to get accurate freon readings. This explains why Purcell was receiving errant readings. My question to Purcell is this: What exactly did we pay 152 for? The tech should have recognized that a part as big as a compressor was not running, but he missed it. So long story short, we paid $152 to Purcell for them to mis-diagnose an air conditioner and for them to use our hoses to spray water at the air conditioner unit, and then not put the equipment away. We chose this company due to their good ratings on angies list, but I feel this review should serve as a red flag to any of you who are considering Purcell."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Yes, mold on wood furniture can be dangerous, especially if it is identified as black mold. Inhaling spores or touching mold can make some people sick with respiratory issues, skin rashes, and eye irritation. However, some people have mild or no symptoms after exposure to mold. If you are going to clean mold off wood furniture, you should wear protective equipment to avoid direct exposure.

Mold doesn’t require much airflow to make it out from behind walls and into your living space, making you sick. HVAC systems can actually pull the mold from behind walls and spread it through your home. While the mold may be out of sight, moisture transfer from the wall can also spread the mold from behind the wall into your living space and air. Any cracks in the walls or bad insulation only compound this effect. 

Asbestos fibers can stay airborne for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the home's ventilation. Fibers can linger longer in enclosed spaces with poor airflow. Because the fibers are microscopic, they can easily remain suspended, making them difficult to detect without professional equipment.

In some cases, yes, insulating an unheated garage can lead to mold and mildew. The issue with insulating a garage is that the interior will warm up and cool down more slowly than the exterior air, which can cause condensation inside the space. Where there is moisture, there is likely to be mold and mildew over time. Installing a vapor barrier can help avoid moisture and mildew problems in an insulated garage.

Mushrooms do not harm your yard. In fact, they can actually help improve your lawn health by decomposing woody organic matter in your soil, and breaking it down into nutrients that feed your grass and plants.
