"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."

"I had an excellent experience working with this company for my basement and master bedroom renovations. Their team was professional, reliable, and highly skilled. The basement was transformed into a functional and modern space, while the master bedroom now feels like a luxurious retreat. They completed the work on time and within budget, paying attention to every detail to ensure the results exceeded my expectations. The communication throughout the process was clear and consistent, making the entire experience stress-free. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-quality construction and remodeling services!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Yes, if installed correctly. Moisture barrier padding blocks dampness from reaching the padding core and subfloor, where mold loves to grow, especially in humid environments like basements. However, poor installation with gaps or loose seams can do the exact opposite, trapping moisture and creating mold problems. So, make sure to do your installation carefully or hire a professional.

Yes. Over time, hidden moisture from a leak in your bathroom may lead to black mold, requiring a mold remediation company’s services and the removal of large wall sections, which can be costly. For example, 100 square feet of drywall can cost as much as $400 to replace, while mold remediation can run anywhere from $500 to $3,000.

Before you start removing mold, turn off the furnace. Clean away any visible mold from accessible areas using a mixture of water and mild detergent. Change air filters and check for moisture sources like leaks. If the problem persists or it's widespread, hire a local HVAC company for professional cleaning.

If you’re unsure whether you have mildew or mold, you can hire a professional to test the material. The mold inspection cost can range from about $300 to $1,000, depending on the size of the growth area. Once the testing professional tells you whether you have mold or mildew, you can then take the necessary steps to get rid of it.

Knowing what to expect during a mold inspection can help make the process easier. Prepare by closing doors and windows for 48 hours, turning off HVAC systems for at least two hours, and avoiding disinfectant chemicals for at least 48 hours. 

The mold inspection process takes between 24 and 48 hours. Your professional will check walls, fireplaces, air ducts, vents, and windows for visible spores. They will also take an outdoor base air sample. Your pro will send these samples to a lab for testing and advise you on the findings.
