"I anticipated this service would be very costly and that coercion would be used for additional testing beyond what I desired. I was wrong! Omega Safety and Environmental was nothing like that. Costs seemed reasonable and I was given advice regarding reasonable and practical remedies that meet EPA guidelines. Very professional work ethic!"

"Terry and Justin his EZ-Breathe unit installer, were great to work with. Terry arrived on a Sunday morning the day after we arrived and noticed a mold issue. Still in the process of remediation, so issues are being handled in a timely manner. Being part-time second home owners and 8 hours away, it is nice to know Terry is on-top of our concerns. So glad we found his company and caught the problem before it got too bad."

"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

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

Toxic mold doesn't have a specific color; instead, toxicity depends on the type of mold and the mycotoxins it produces. Stachybotrys chartarum (also known as black mold) is notorious for its potential toxicity. However, not all molds appearing black are Stachybotrys chartarum. Mold species that appear in various colors, such as green, gray, brown, or black, can also produce mycotoxins. Therefore, it's essential to focus on identifying the type of mold through professional testing rather than relying solely on color to determine its toxicity.

Any unexplained smell in your house should be investigated. However, some home odors are "red flag" worrisome because they pose immediate health and safety risks. Odors should be taken seriously when accompanied by headaches, nausea, or lightheadedness. If you smell an egg-like aroma, this is probably natural gas. You should leave the home immediately, and  contact your gas company.  

If you would like the insurance company to potentially help you pay for the mold remediation, you need to inform the insurer. When you notify your insurance company, they may say that you need a mold inspection before receiving any money for mold remediation. It’s possible that the insurer would not pay for this inspection unless they find mold.

Yes, if installed correctly. Moisture barrier padding blocks dampness from reaching the padding core and subfloor, where mold loves to grow, especially in humid environments like basements. However, poor installation with gaps or loose seams can do the exact opposite, trapping moisture and creating mold problems. So, make sure to do your installation carefully or hire a professional.
