"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."

"Jeremiah came out and tested the air and moisture and other items to determine if I had mold in my basement. After getting the test results there was evidence of mold and he recommended a company that provides a do it yourself kit for mold remediation. (Not cheap). After getting the items and realizing that there was more work, it would have been better for me to let my insurance company handle this as I do have coverage for mold/fungi. Though having a professional do the work is expensive, from what Jeremiah mentioned, it does not guarantee that the work will be complete or the source of the problem taken care of. He mentioned most companies will take care of the mold but not necessarily the cause of the mold. For this I would have to contact another company."

"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!"

"I recently hired Eversafe Restoration for mold remediation, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They thoroughly inspected my home, identified the affected areas, and explained the entire process in detail. The team worked quickly to remove the mold, ensuring the safety of my family and preventing future issues. They even addressed the underlying moisture problem to keep the mold from coming back. Eversafe Restoration went above and beyond my expectations. If you’re dealing with mold, I highly recommend their services. They’re reliable and truly care about their customers. – David Kramer"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Several factors contribute to the persistent growth of mold in vents, with excess moisture being the most common culprit. Consistent mold formation in vents indicates an ongoing moisture problem within the HVAC system or its surroundings, likely caused by condensation on cool surfaces in areas with high humidity. Moisture accumulation can also result from leaks in ductwork, inadequate ventilation, or insufficient insulation, creating an environment favorable for mold growth. Regular inspections, addressing potential sources of moisture, maintaining proper ventilation, and routine HVAC maintenance can help prevent the recurrence of mold in vents. If the issue persists, seek professional assistance to identify and rectify the underlying problems.

The pink mold appears because of the presence of a naturally occurring airborne bacteria called serratia marcescens. When this bacteria lands on a moist surface, it multiplies, creating the pink film. To reduce the ability of this bacteria to multiply, use a bathroom exhaust fan to reduce humidity in the bathroom. Regularly clean the interior of the shower with a disinfectant as well.

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.

Yes, mold under silicone caulk can potentially cause health issues, which may be more noticeable in people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Mold releases spores into the air, and inhaling these spores can cause symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and skin rashes. It's important to address mold issues promptly to protect your health.

Powdery mildew is exactly like it sounds—a widespread mold that looks like baking soda or talcum powder. It’s usually seen on plants and spread in warm climates, which is why many people first discover this issue in their home greenhouse. Over time, plants have become resistant, but if you see it spreading, baking soda and water can eliminate many cases. Otherwise, consider neem oil or fungicide.
