"Jon from MoldGone easily saved me more than a thousand dollars by providing an expert opinion on proposed mold remediation by another company. His response was very timely, and he actually turned down the opportunity to undertake work, saying that the situation did not warrant remediation by his company. It was very refreshing to have someone advise that their services were actually NOT required in this instance. Should I every have any future questions regarding mold remediation, Jon will definitely be my first call."
"Timely, efficient, response. Identified a minor mold issue and applied appropriate treatment. Poor quality filters on equipment left a film of fine dust everywhere near a vent. Recommend upgrading vacuum filters to finer screen."
"Bruce was very responsive to my call. We scheduled an appointment 2 business days after our first contact. Bruce was on-time and very professional. He looked at the basement and said it was a good waterproofing job and looked at the mold area - and it turns out its the type of mold we can remove ourselves by peeling the paint off. I couldn't be more grateful for his integrity in looking at our problem. Because of that I would call them again, use them and will highly recommend them to anyone I know who needs mold remediation."
"Daniel was great to work with. He called when he said he would. He showed up for the testing on time. Explained what he was doing. He did a very thorough check for moisture behind the walls and air samples where needed. He really showed that he knows what he is doing. If I ever need a mold inspection done again I ll be calling Rudd to do it."
"We were given detailed descriptions of the proposed mold removal process, and all our questions were answered in a clear, coherent way. Photos (from a crawl space) showed us just how much mold had accumulated from the leaking pipe. The work was performed with safety of all concerned in mind. Above all, the two men who came into our home were pleasant, professional, and kind."
"We recently worked with Flood Solutions after our basement flooded, and Megan—our inspector and project manager—was incredible. She was thorough, patient, and took the time to explain every step of the process, which meant a lot as an allergy sufferer worried about proper remediation. She honestly deserves her own show on mold education!
When the team arrived, they were organized, detailed, and clearly cared about doing things the right way. Matthew and the crew also did a fantastic job finishing everything and making sure we felt informed and comfortable throughout.
We can’t recommend Flood Solutions enough. If you need a trustworthy team during a stressful time, call them—and hopefully you get Megan, she’s a gem!"
"Mr. Garvin was on time and professional . He clearly explained what he would need to do. He completed the project quickly and answered all of my questions. I will keep his number for future jobs!"
"This is not a mold remediation company. When you hire this company, you are simply getting a mold test. Be specific when you explain your problem and what you are looking to get done. The mold technician was in and out in 20 minutes. He took an air sample and one swab, that s it. For the price of $299. Once you get the results of your mold test, they refer you to a company that is in the business of selling mold remediation products. Originally as much as $1600 for mold bombs, sprays and commercial graded air scrubber. I negotiated down to $1195. Then settled on only what I needed. Know what you want, do your homework before buying products you do not need."
"The mold inspector was very knowledgeable regarding the mold inspection process. He took samples of mold area for lab evaluation and air quality samples to check for mold in the air around the affected area. I was impressed with the thorough process used to check for mold. Mr Riddick the owner checked the air outside that was in close proximity to affected area. He answered all the questions and provided a date for the results of the inspection. Mr Riddick did an outstanding job and would highly recommend him for his service."
Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts
Mold in HVAC ducts is a relatively common issue that homeowners struggle with—especially in humid climates or homes with poor ventilation. Moisture from condensation, combined with dust and organic debris, creates the perfect environment for mold growth. Homes with high humidity, leaky ducts, or clogged drains are more prone to this issue. Regular inspections and proper HVAC maintenance significantly reduce the risk of mold developing in your ducts.
Damp air from a humidifier can cause mold in ducts if it raises the air's humidity level too high for the duct system to handle or malfunctions, but it’s not a normal occurrence. To avoid mold trouble, set the humidistat to between 30% and 35% and inspect it often to ensure accuracy.
Having a dry house can be unhealthy for you and the home. Excessive dryness can lead to respiratory issues, dry skin, dry or sore throats, and other problems. Additionally, any wooden furniture and the home's structure and floors can suffer from cracking and shrinking under dry indoor air conditions, leading to gaps and splits.
Nearly all homes have at least some airborne mold spores. If you want to determine the concentration of spores in the air, you have a few options. The most effective option is to hire a professional tester who can take air samples of the home. The tester would send the samples to a laboratory to determine the concentration of mold spores.
The pink mold appears because of the presence of a naturally occurring airborne bacteria called serratia marcescens. When this bacteria lands on a moist surface, it multiplies, creating the pink film. To reduce the ability of this bacteria to multiply, use a bathroom exhaust fan to reduce humidity in the bathroom. Regularly clean the interior of the shower with a disinfectant as well.
