"First, I’d absolutely use and plan to use Bernhardt Restoration again. The contractor Atilio was communicative and easy to work with. His team was also friendly, communicative and easy to work with. They did a great job!! I found the company through Angi’s list. I originally just wanted them to remove some asbestos tiles. But after talking with Atilio I decided to add a new vinyl floor which we were going to do anyway, just later. But as we were working through these projects I felt more comfortable and confident in their professionalism and craftsmanship. So I had them paint the walls, doors and window frames. Then I had them replace a door and update all the power plugs. We started a project for flooring and ended up renovating the whole room and I’m so glad I did! But I only did that because the team earned my trust. I really appreciated the communication. I was constantly updated. They completely transformed our room! So glad I decided to go with Bernhardt Restoration!"

"Overall was good for what the service is. The technician was a postal worker and home inspector. So mold test company appears to be brokers. Their pricing was competitive from other quotes I received but I honestly think it was pricey for time spent and what they do. But like I said the price was pretty standard from the companies I called, in my opinion. But the technician was attentive and knowledgeable, and friendly."

"I am extremely satisfied with the mold inspection and remediation services! The team conducted a thorough inspection of the entire property, used professional equipment to measure moisture levels, and clearly explained where the issues were located. After we agreed on the scope of work, they promptly began the remediation process: everything was done carefully, using safe products, and they provided a detailed report with before-and-after photos. The entire process was smooth, on schedule, and stress-free. I especially want to highlight their high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to answer all my questions. Now the air in my home is fresh again, with no unpleasant odors. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable mold specialists!"

Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts

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.

It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.

The purpose of crawl space encapsulation is to prevent mold by blocking moisture and reducing humidity. If the vapor barrier is properly installed, it significantly reduces the chance of mold developing within the crawl space. However, mold can sometimes grow behind the encapsulation material, but it will be sealed away from the main area. Additionally, moisture can still condense inside the encapsulated space, so if you notice excess humidity, installing a dehumidifier is recommended to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Some of the most common signs of sensitivity or illness from mold include congestion, eye irritation, difficulty breathing, and headaches. These symptoms may not lead to long-term health issues. However, some types of mold, like toxic black mold, can make you quite ill. You may experience respiratory issues, skin rashes, or neurological issues after exposure because of the toxicity. Infants, people with compromised immune systems, and older adults can suffer the most severe reactions.

Many types of mold spores and fungi spores are constantly present in the air, but they need a friendly surface and moisture to grow. Should some of these spores land on paper or wood with significant moisture present—such as drywall with a paper cover that is soaking up water from a leak—mold or fungi could begin growing. Dampness from leaky pipes, condensation on windows, leaks in a roof, flooding in a basement, or high, prolonged humidity in a small area all can create the excess moisture that mold and fungi need to grow in your home.
