"We had discovered mold in our bedroom bathroom, from a faulty seal around our walk in shower. We thought we would have to tear apart the bathroom to get rid of the mold, but the team over at Altru were able to pin point the exact area that had the water damage and helped us save our floors away from the issue. Luckily we caught it on time before it dropped into our basement bedroom. They arrived within an hour of our call and reassured us every step of the way with our concerns. We highly recommend Altru Restoration to anyone with water damage and mold issues, we loved our outcome! Thank you!"

"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."

"This company is the BEST!!!  From the owners Matt & Katie, to the installers, we were floored with the top-notch professionalism, craftmanship and low price!  My husband and I replaced 14 windows on our 1980's home, we were cautious and got several bids, Matt & Katie came in so low we wondered what kind of quality windows we would get.  Well let me say to any prospective buyers out there...you will not be disappointed!!  Our new windows are absolutely beautiful!!  The installers were skilled and very efficient at their trade, they were also some of the kindest people ive met, very aware and courteous and respectful to my family and pets during the installation which was apx 2 days.  I never, not once had any problems with call backs or explanations from Matt, he was super to work with, always answering every question so that i felt comfortable and assured.  I highly recommend VantagePoint Exteriors to any and all, First Class A-1 Company!!

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Painting over mold is not an effective solution and can actually make the problem worse. Instead, it traps moisture, which allows mold to grow and spread beneath the surface. Mold must be completely removed before painting to ensure the problem doesn’t recur. If mold is painted over, it may eventually seep through the new layer of paint, causing discoloration and peeling.

Eliminating mold from wood permanently poses a challenge as the mold spores have the ability to deeply penetrate the porous wood surface. While surface mold can be effectively eradicated with proper cleaning and preventative measures, it's difficult to guarantee its non-recurrence under favorable conditions. To prevent mold from reappearing, it is important to identify and resolve the root cause of the moisture that triggered mold growth initially.

Ensuring appropriate ventilation and a dry environment, or consider applying protective finishes such as sealant, varnish, or paint to prevent future moisture penetration and mold growth. Consistently inspect and maintain the area to keep the wood free from mold in the long term.

The signs of asbestos exposure are often subtle and may not appear for many years, or even decades, after initial contact. This long latency period is one of the primary dangers associated with asbestos.

When symptoms do manifest, they can include:

  • Shortness of breath

  • A persistent, dry cough

  • Chest pain or tightness

  • Fatigue

  • Wheezing

  • Weight loss

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • A dry, crackling sound from the lungs when breathing

These symptoms are non-specific and can be mistaken for other respiratory conditions, making diagnosis challenging. Prolonged exposure can lead to serious diseases as the asbestos fibers cause scarring and inflammation in the lungs. These conditions include asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Due to the vague nature of early symptoms, regular medical check-ups are crucial for anyone with a known history of asbestos exposure, particularly in an occupational setting. If you suspect asbestos is present in your home, a professional inspection is recommended.

While home mold tests can provide a simple identification of mold presence, they lack accuracy and reliability. These kits may detect mold spores but can't pinpoint the source or identify the type. Professional testing, combined with an inspection, is more comprehensive and leads to actionable next steps. 

Mold thrives in high-moisture environments, whether that’s steady leaks or just high condensation. Around the house, common causes of mold include leaky pipes, a leaking roof, high humidity, poor ventilation, a damp basement, rotting food in the fridge, wet clothing and towels not hung properly for drying, a leaking foundation, and a leaky air conditioner.

And, of course, if your home suffers from flood damage, you stand the risk of developing mold in the aftermath. That’s why it’s important to act quickly at the first sign of mold.
