"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
Powdery mildew is exactly like it sounds—a widespread mold that looks like baking soda or talcum powder. It’s usually seen on plants and spread in warm climates, which is why many people first discover this issue in their home greenhouse. Over time, plants have become resistant, but if you see it spreading, baking soda and water can eliminate many cases. Otherwise, consider neem oil or fungicide.
Standard wood stains often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which the EPA states can irritate those exposed to their odor. Inhaling the fumes can pose health risks to humans. Prolonged exposure to VOCs from wood stains can lead to wood stain poisoning, manifesting in symptoms such as a burning sensation, blurred vision, and even collapse. Taking precautions when using these products is crucial to minimize the risk of adverse health effects.
The high humidity of steam showers creates the ideal environment for mold growth, so it’s important to stay proactive against it. Along with regular cleaning, run your bathroom fan during and after your steam shower. Keep your shower door open and any doors and windows in the bathroom to allow the space to air out properly. If you come across ugly mold spores, spray them with undiluted vinegar, let it sit for at least an hour, and then scrub away the mold.
Signs of mold sickness often manifest as respiratory issues, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and sneezing. You might also experience symptoms that resemble allergies, such as itchy eyes and sinus infections. Other telltale signs include skin irritations, persistent and unexplainable headaches, and mental confusion, often described as 'brain fog.' It's important to remember that mold can cause health problems even if it's not visible, as it can grow inside walls. If you are experiencing these unexplained symptoms, you may want to consider a professional mold inspection.
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.
