"Answered call live. Scheduled me in same week. Was prompt, curteous, professional. Came with a lot of equipment and safety gear. Took samples around water logged window seal. Used a moisture meter and found significant issues. Sent lab samples out same day and found dangerous levels of mold. Saved my health and my office lease. Can't recommend Jason Fontenot and Mold Man Solutions enough!!"
"Great, Dustin was very through in his initial inspection, he included pictures of the areas I couldn’t get to. He also pointed out a few things that needed to be addressed and offered to fix those at no charge . That’s Right- NO CHARGE!! The blown-in insulation included a pest deterrent They also put mesh in all the weep holes to seal out pests and rodents. The crew arrived timely, and they were all very professional and courteous. They cleaned up after themselves both inside and out. Amazing, awesome, professional, courteous, and VERY affordable !"
"They were absolutely wonderful and professional. Always on time and so hardworking. Mr. Glenn is so nice to work with. They painted the outside of my house. So happy with his work and I recommend him highly. I will use him again soon. He is wonderful!"
"The home was inspected and treated for mold following the 2020 hurricane in Lake Charles. Local services were overwhelmed. DryMax provided the help we needed in an excellent manner. Quality, service and price exceed all expectations. I highly recommend them."
"After our home sustained significant damage from the recent hurricane, we were faced with the daunting task of finding a restoration company that could handle the process efficiently and affordably. We contacted several businesses, and PHP Restoration stood out immediately. They were not only the most affordable restoration business we found, but they ultimately delivered the absolute best work.
The team at PHP Restoration truly exceeded our expectations. They handled everything from initial mold testing to demolition, making what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel easy and straightforward. The quality of the final construction is impeccable. They genuinely went above and beyond to suit all of our specific rebuild needs, making sure our home felt like home again. Another huge part of this positive experience was their communication. Our contact, Julien, was phenomenal. He was readily available to answer all of our questions and address any concerns! Highly recommend"
"Dustin answered the phone quickly. He was very responsive about understanding the problem and offering solutions for it. He is very knowledgeable about insulation, sealing spaces and A/C ducts. He was able to advise while considering budget constraints. His crew was fast, accurate and clean. I would hire him again."
"All I can say about this company is that they are very good at what they do. They have done everything they could to help me and my wife live in our home in comfort knowing that all of our indoor air problems have been resolved. They are the best."
"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."
Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts
Water damage doesn’t always cause mold and wood rot, but it can. Both mold and wood rot require moisture in the wood to form, so water damage that continues to leave water or moisture behind can lead to both issues. Water damage and mold often go hand-in-hand, but you can prevent mold growth after water damage by addressing the source of moisture and drying out the area quickly. The same goes for wood rot. The longer you let water damage go, the higher the risk of mold and rot.
While bathroom mold, commonly known as black mold, does not produce harmful mycotoxins, it can still pose health risks. If disturbed, mold spores can become airborne and potentially cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, skin irritations, and other health issues. This is especially true for individuals with allergies or sensitivities. While bathroom molds are not as dangerous as other mold species, prompt action is crucial to mitigate health risks and prevent further spread.
No, heated floors are unlikely to cause mold. In fact, they can help prevent mold growth. The additional heat helps dry excess water and reduce condensation, which can lessen the likelihood of mold growth. Additionally, the heated floors can help reduce humidity near the bottom of the floor.
Mold thrives in wet and humid conditions, and the bathroom can often be an ideal place for it to grow. If you are worried about mold, it's a good idea to hire a local mold inspector to inspect your bathroom.
How you handle the mold depends on the extent of the issue. If it's on the caulk or other surface, a deep cleaning with mold-killing products such as vinegar or bleach may be sufficient. For a large infestation, you'll most likely need professional mold remediation.
While the resistance of lime to mold is a hotly contested topic of debate, it is true that because it allows porous materials to breathe, it avoids trapping moisture close to the structure of a building. This breathability makes it less susceptible to mold than paint because it gathers less moisture.
