Mold Bros is a local family business, we offer something most of these big businesses cannot: personal, flexible and direct service. There is no 1-800 number to call, no call center, just direct contact with the people who will be helping you remove harmful mold from your home. Being in the northeast we know that our environment is a breeding ground for mold. With a lack of solid options, most companies offer lackluster service and unreasonable prices. We believe that taking care of our customers includes their wallets.

"They are top quality .They were wonderful, professional, timely and did a great job."

"When I called the mold company for my lab results. They gave me a person named Ricardo Echeverria, Senior Mold Analyst to call for the results. He verbally told me that the cause was something like a remodel, construction going on. There was a red flag for a VOC called Methylene Chloride--Banned outdated paint. I sent Ricardo and email asking if I can have a report of what he said in writing. I only received a contaminants list. I said, I am not a scientist and do not understand the lab results.I never received a response back from him. I called Jeremiah Bancroft a few times and asked for a written explanation of the causes. He could not supply me with a written explanation because it was a legal issue. I asked for his help. I need your help. Jeremiah said, go to your primary care for a doctors note. That was the last time I spoke to him on September 19, 2024"

Since 1980 the name AnnRuel which is the middle names of Marlene Ann MacNaughton and James Ruel MacNaughton has stood for quality service at reasonable rates. Serving central Maine out of our Fairfield Maine office an the Greater Portland area out of our South Portland office.

"I am so pleased that I chose to use Annruel Home Inspections. From my first conversation, I knew they were the company I would choose! Jim, was my initial contact and was so friendly and informative. One major thing lacking from businesses these days, is customer service! I can say that this company has amazing customer service. Skip did our inspection and went above and beyond the minimum requirements. He was personable, informative, thorough and I could go on and on. He saved me from purchasing a nightmare! It needed major repairs on the septic and leech field, among other things. If he had done just the minimum, I would have incurred tens of thousands of dollars in repairs. The sellers that are able to post reviews on this company should think twice about their review. What if it was their son, daughter or relative purchasing a home and the inspection was not thorough? I know that I would be upset. Bringing things to a homebuyers attention is what a home inspection company should do and Annruel is amazing at this! I am using them again after the other home inspection they performed, discovered all of the “major issues “ and minor ones too! They do not cut corners, spent several hours on my first inspection, are the best price, they have bundle packages, reports are completed super fast. My inspection was performed on a Friday and the report was sent to me on Monday! Amazing! I usually do not write reviews but the service I received deserves recognition! They even gave me a discount on my next inspection! Which is being done tomorrow. I don’t have any worries about the quality of service I will receive. I know I will get 150% from Annruel! Thank you, Jim, Skip and Jessica for all that you do and providing me with the best experience I could ask for as a homebuyer looking for a home. I highly recommend Annruel and will to my family and friends! Great deal! Thorough home inspection, septic inspection with fiber optic cable/camera, leech-field and even ran a mini robot on wheels with camera in small area to view under home!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, 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.

Mildew is a type of mold that forms in areas of excessive moisture and poor ventilation. Although it commonly exists in household air, it can’t take hold and spread if a surface is clean and dry. Generally, if you have any mildew or mold issues, it’s because the humidity in either your house, room, cabinet, or cupboard is above 50 percent. Common areas where you’ll find mildew are around water sources, which is why it’s commonly found near showers and in kitchen sinks.

Both mildew and mold come from fungi. One of the main differences is that mildew’s texture is dry and powdery, whereas mold is fuzzy and slimy. In addition, mildew isn’t very thick, while mold looks three-dimensional. Also, mildew is typically light in color, whereas mold comes in various shades, including green and black.

Inhaling smoke from burnt food can be harmful to your health. Smoke and strong odors released when food burns can cause respiratory distress, especially for people with health conditions like asthma or for pregnant people. Even for those without such sensitivities, burnt food smoke can cause lung inflammation and irritation when inhaled.

Determining if vermiculite contains asbestos requires professional testing. Visual inspection alone cannot confirm the presence of asbestos fibers, as these fibers are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye. A certified asbestos inspector will collect samples of the vermiculite insulation and send them to a laboratory for analysis. Microscopic examination using polarized light microscopy (PLM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is necessary to accurately identify asbestos fibers. DIY sampling is strongly discouraged due to the potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure.
