"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."

"I reached out after mold was discovered in our basement, and thanks to Amanda, we had an inspection scheduled a few days later. Ryan came out, assessed the situation and presented us a complete estimate including the mold removal as well as for all the repairs. Within a few weeks, teams came in and quickly removed the damaged areas and Brent did a very nice job with all the restorations! The teams from start to finish were all professional and we are pleased with the results."

"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

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.

Most mushrooms found on residential lawns are harmless. Certain varieties such as destroying angel, fly agaric, and vomiter mushrooms that can grow in grass will occasionally make their way onto residential lawn, but this is uncommon. Since mushrooms can be notoriously difficult to identify, if you suspect that your lawn mushrooms could be a poisonous type, consulting a professional is recommended.

Yes, running your air conditioning unit too cold can cause condensation in the air ducts and built up moisture on the air filter, resulting in a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Mold and mildew growth can irritate those with respiratory issues, so it’s best to keep your AC running at a normal temperature.

Some of the most common signs of sensitivity or illness from mold include congestion, eye irritation, difficulty breathing, and headaches. These symptoms may not lead to long-term health issues. However, some types of mold, like toxic black mold, can make you quite ill. You may experience respiratory issues, skin rashes, or neurological issues after exposure because of the toxicity. Infants, people with compromised immune systems, and older adults can suffer the most severe reactions.

Since most mushrooms are beneficial for your grass, and otherwise harmless, it’s not a good idea to kill them with fungicide. If you suspect you have a poisonous type of mushroom in your grass, you should consult a professional concerning mitigation. There are lots of types of mushrooms and most are perfectly safe.
