"Excellent service: rugs were overdue for cleaning and they came out very well. Staff was responsive and professional. Really appreciated the pick up and delivery, and flexibility on extending the return date due to our schedule. Not sure if price was competitive as I liked talking to them right away and didn't bother shopping for price. Will use their services again."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Black mold and wood rot are both types of fungi that thrive in damp areas, but they are distinct issues with different consequences. Wood rot specifically refers to the decay of wood caused by fungi, which compromises the wood's structural integrity. Black mold, on the other hand, is a fungus that grows on the surface of materials, including both rotting and non-rotting wood. The primary difference is their impact: wood rot affects the wood's structure, while toxic black mold is a health hazard. Inhaling black mold spores can cause severe respiratory issues, whereas wood rot spores are generally not harmful to people. Because mold can grow on rotting wood, the two issues can be interconnected, but they are not the same.

You can do more with a home test kit than just check your water’s hardness. There are a few types of tests. The first one is simple and involves a strip that checks your water’s pH balance. The second and more thorough option is a master test kit, which shows your pH plus the presence of nitrite, ammonia, and other elements through color shades. Unsurprisingly, the most thorough test is one you send to a proper lab for analysis

Mold can begin to grow in as little as 12 to 24 hours, especially if the room is warm, so drying the area is the first thing you should do after water damage. Because mold and mildew can cause a range of health issues, make sure you clean up any water damage as soon as possible and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours to dry out the room and reduce the risk of mold growth.

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 doesn’t require much airflow to make it out from behind walls and into your living space, making you sick. HVAC systems can actually pull the mold from behind walls and spread it through your home. While the mold may be out of sight, moisture transfer from the wall can also spread the mold from behind the wall into your living space and air. Any cracks in the walls or bad insulation only compound this effect.
