"The company advertised was not the same company that actually came out to do the test. It seems like subcontract to other companies. There isn't a secure portal to submit credit card information so they took it verbally over the phone. Not trying to connect the dots but was a strange coincidence that the day after they charged my card that there was a fraud charge on my account."

Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts

Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth after water damage is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.

While an air purifier can trap mold spores and stop them from spreading around your home, it’s not the most effective solution for tackling the problem. Mold is caused by excess moisture and humidity, so there’s a good chance you have an issue somewhere else in your HVAC system that needs to be addressed.

In most cases, it is safe to return home after mold remediation is complete. You should follow your mold remediation technician’s recommendations, but most pros request that homeowners wait one day after the process is complete to move back in.

After returning home, be sure to carefully inspect the exposed areas for any remaining signs of mold spores. Contact the mold remediation company if you detect any lingering mold.

Mold loves a moist environment, so the best way to keep it from returning is to keep your machine as dry as possible. Take laundry out of the machine as soon as you can after a cycle finishes. If your laundry room is humid, consider using a dehumidifier or at least running a fan to increase airflow.

It's also a good idea to leave the washing machine door open when it's not in use, to improve airflow and keep the interior dry.

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.
