"We called them due to concerns about potential mold in our son's bedroom. They came, tested, and the results were negative for problematic mold/air. In an industry rife with con artists, this was very refreshing. Highly recommend!"
"Val was very responsive even before he arrived... replying to an email question and setting up an appointment. Very professional and an excellent job cleaning the vents. There was no mold in one system and minor mold in the main system, so we had that attended to at a fair price. He recommended an ultraviolet light to prevent mold in the future... wasn't pushy... and we plan to get it from them in the future. Additionally, we had some 1st floor toilet problems and were planning to contact a plumber next week. He noticed 2 minor leaks in the basement so we called the plumber today... which may have been a much bigger issue next week. We'll definitely recommend this company to friends and will definitely use them again."
"Excellent. Bruce is extremely honest and professional. I called Bruce after an exterminator warned me that he saw mold in my basement. Bruce came the next day, arrived exactly on time and upon visual inspection, told me that I did not have a mold issue. He could have easily set up treatment and I would have paid as I was afraid for the health of my family but Bruce is about as honest as they come. Jason"
"Mr. Rudd of Rudd's Indoor Environment and the service he provides are EXCEPTIONAL!. Mold can be a scary subject but if it is something you need to look into Mr Rudd is the man to look to. We used him to do a mold inspection for a home purchase. Very satisfied. He knows what he is doing and was very thorough, professional and very informative. At the same time he is easy to talk to and easy to contact if there are any follow up questions or needs. He often answered the phone right away, but if not, he returned my calls or emails quickly. He also made himself readily available for phone calls from any other involved parties (in our case the real estate agents) who need further explanations."
"Dealing with mold in your home is stressful, but working with K & E was the absolute best decision we could have made. From the minute they walked in, Dan put us completely at ease. They didn't just clear out the mold they took the time to explain the whole process, kept everything impeccably clean, and treated our home with real care. You can tell they actually care about the people they?re helping. I can finally breathe easy in my home again. Highly, highly recommend!""
"Jerry provided excellent service for our air mold test. He was prompt in scheduling the appointment and arrived at the property as planned. After conducting the test, we received the results in just two days, which thankfully turned out negative."
"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 company performed a very thorough mold analysis. They opened my eyes to the dangers of the various types of mold growing in my house and provided possible solutions to remediate it."

You can check your home's humidity in a few ways. A simple option is to use a hygrometer, which you can find at a hardware or big box store. Your smartphone may also have an app that can measure humidity. Modern thermostats, particularly smart thermostats, are also able to measure humidity levels.
Mold can grow on garage ceiling insulation, which is why it’s important to install a vapor barrier behind the insulation and keep the space cooled and heated as you would your living area. Doing so will more or less eliminate the risk of mold growing on your garage ceiling insulation. You can also install a self-draining dehumidifier to help remove moisture, or opt for a foam board insulation or spray foam insulation that won’t harbor moisture and mold.
You can kill slime mold with organic fungicides and commercial products like BioSafe Disease Control. However, the following substances will also get rid of slime mold: baking soda, potassium bicarbonate, cornmeal, cornmeal tea, and hydrogen peroxide. Typically, these fungi are cosmetic and rarely harmful to plants, so it’s OK to wait it out. The matter will disappear in a few days to two weeks.
If you find black residue in your toilet tank, chances are it’s caused by manganese deposits from hard water and not mold growth. You can prevent these deposits from damaging your toilet by installing a water softener in your home, which also might improve the quality of your drinking water.
