"Brian with Southside mold and testing is one of the best companies I have ever experienced. Discovering mold in your home for us was very unsettling and scary. From the first phone call with Brian to the mold remedy completion, we received service excellence and piece of mind. Brian is very talented, knowledgeable and professional. He explained in detail the what, how and why about the project in its entirety. Even with the price being great, I am still not one to hire service without having at least two or three professional quotes and opinions but this Company and Brian made it apparent to look no further. Thank you Southside Mold and testing and THANK YOU BRIAN!!"

"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!"

"We have a cold room for adhesive storage and had a horrible case of mold due to an incorrect build out. I called these guys and they came out very quickly. They removed all of the mold along with infested ceiling tiles and paint the fell off of the wall during the process. They left the walls looking new again and cleaned their mess. We have not had a mold issue since. I highly recommend these professionals!"

"My review is tiered because the overall service seems to run on tiers. The technician was great. Very personable and professional. 5 stars for his work. Your tests get sent to the lab. The lab explains the results and recommends a company for a DIY solution. This is where things start to fall apart. The company you get referred to has abysmal reviews and the sales pitch feels extremely predatory. That taints my opinion of the lab results which would be teamed up with a business they probably shouldn't recommend. We're planning on either an independent company locally to get a quote from for any remediations we will take or even see what home depot has to offer. In any event please read the reviews of BioCide, the company they will recommend you use. We're still not sure we even have a real problem if they are working together."

"On 3/10/26 our community was struck by a tornado. We called Flawless restoration that night and by 9:00am the next morning (3/11/26) they had a crew at our home. They were professional and did a GREAT job. At a time when they could have price gouged us, they did not. Their price was very reasonable. we highly recommend them."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.

Some mold can look like dust, but most doesn’t. Powdery mildew is often confused with dust as it’s a similar color and grows in a similar way. Some gray molds can look like dust as well, but usually, it’s pretty easy to spot the difference. It’s better to be safe, so if you aren’t completely sure what you’re seeing is dust, call a mold professional to check it out.

Pellet stoves burn compressed wood byproducts, making them very efficient and clean-burning. However, even efficient combustion still produces fine dust particles, which could have an effect on the health of vulnerable people in your household, such as infants and people with asthma. A wood stove pro can help determine whether the levels in your home are unsafe.

Mildew is a type of mold that forms in areas of excessive moisture and poor ventilation. Although it commonly exists in household air, it can’t take hold and spread if a surface is clean and dry. Generally, if you have any mildew or mold issues, it’s because the humidity in either your house, room, cabinet, or cupboard is above 50 percent. Common areas where you’ll find mildew are around water sources, which is why it’s commonly found near showers and in kitchen sinks.

Mold grows quickly. It typically begins to grow on drywall about 24 hours after exposure to moisture or humidity. Drywall is a porous material, which makes it particularly hospitable to mold growth. 

While mold growth begins after just a day or so, it can take a few weeks before the evidence becomes visible. Mold spores will typically appear on the drywall surface within three weeks of growth starting.
