"I had a positive experience with Rey and Giovanni at My Pure Environmental. Both were responsive and professional throughout, and they scheduled and performed the mold remediation on my house quickly and on a schedule. Rey was easy to work with in terms of scheduling, and Giovanni was nice and professional in person and kept me updated."

"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

Mold in air ducts releases spores into the air, which cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, or itchy eyes. Prolonged mold exposure can lead to more serious health issues, especially for those with compromised immune systems.

Yes, a one-time water leak can cause mold. Depending on the conditions, mold can begin to grow within 12 to 48 hours. The risk increases with the severity of the leak, high humidity, and when water soaks into absorbent materials like drywall. To prevent mold growth, stop the leak immediately and ensure the area is dried completely; running a blower fan for 24 hours is recommended. If you do notice mold, it's best to call a mold removal specialist to address the situation.

Yes, drywall mud can get moldy—though the presence of moisture is required for this to happen. That’s why the best way to keep your powdered drywall mud fresh for as long as possible is to keep it in dry storage conditions. If you live in a humid area, it might not make sense to stockpile a lot of powdered drywall mud before you’re ready to use it. As for premixed drywall mud, avoid opening the container until you’re ready to use it—and don’t expect it to last longer than six months.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

PVC is not considered a hazardous waste in most areas, but regulations vary by location. If in doubt, you should contact your local sanitation department to confirm. The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) has been working to get PVC classified as hazardous waste, so it’s possible that it will be considered as such in the near future. If it is, disposing of PVC will require the use of a hazardous waste disposal facility or transporter in your area.
