"I have been sick for 8 months with various lung , fatigue, EBV, breathing, I missed so much work my 13 plus year job fired me. So when I had this test done and found out that I had very high amounts of a asprigillius mold in my HVAC system and that there was a fairly easy inexpensive remedy and that I will feel so much better I was very happy of the choice that I made to hire this company. The company they referred me to to get what I needed to fix the problem was over the top helpful and could tell he loves his job. I have already referred to a friend who has already made an appointment. I can not wait to apply the remedy, it should be in the mail this week. Thank you Thank you Thank you."
"Precision Contracting did a very nice job of mitigating the moisture we had as a result of storm damage. They also advocated for us with our insurance company which was very helpful."
"As a property manager I have hired these guys for several of their services they provide and they have been nothing but easy to work with and very professional."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."
Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts
Mold can be hazardous to your health. Some people are allergic to mold and experience a reaction when exposed to mold spores. The reaction varies from person-to-person, but can include a runny nose, skin irritation, and asthma attack. Mold can also be irritating to people who aren't allergic, causing respiratory, skin, and eye irritation. In some cases, mold exposure can lead to infections.
Mold can grow anywhere in a home where moisture accumulates and doesn't dry out, particularly in areas with poor ventilation. Common materials affected include insulation and drywall. The most frequent locations for mold growth are attics, basements, crawl spaces, wall cavities, bathroom and kitchen walls, exposed foundations, windows and window sills, air conditioning and heating vents, and around fireplaces and chimneys.
Soaking memory foam can break down its structure over time or even encourage mold growth. However, brief encounters with moisture will not ruin your memory foam. As long as the mattress, topper, or cushion dries soon after getting wet, there's nothing to worry about. Just be sure to keep the affected item in an area with plenty of air and sun to encourage quick drying.
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.
EIFS has several disadvantages, primarily related to cost and moisture. The system tends to have higher upfront installation costs compared to other siding options, and repairs can also be expensive, especially if water damage occurs. A significant downside is its low breathability, which can trap moisture between its layers from either leakage or condensation. This trapped moisture increases the risk of developing mold and rot, which can lead to costly and extensive repairs if not addressed promptly.
