"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."

"They do both mold removal AND restoration. (Not everyone does both!) They arrived when they said they would. Their pricing was 30% less than the next bidder. They explained what they were doing along the way. I even tried to fix Mateo up with my daughter."

Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Odors, humidity problems, and health symptoms like headaches or allergies.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

Mold grows at the fastest rate the environment it’s in will let it. The space between your vinyl flooring and the base flooring it’s on is a perfect environment for mold growth, allowing for rapid spread and contamination. Preventing this involves a proper installation of the flooring and constant humidity control.

It is not advisable to shower in a bathroom contaminated with black mold due to the potential health hazards it poses. Inhaling mold spores during showering can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and skin irritations, especially for individuals with pre-existing allergies or respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to black mold can result in severe health complications. It is crucial to eliminate any black mold problems in your bathroom before continuing with showering to ensure a safe and healthy environment.
