"Unbiased, prompt, knowledgeable and an overall pleasant experience for a not so pleasant scenario. Would recommend to anybody even thinking about a mold inspection and testing."
"Mr. Cortez was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. He explained the issues, found the source of the problem, and fixed the source. Mr. Cortez is a hard worker and I am super grateful that I hired him. He was on time and willing to explain when I did not understand. The best part of my experience was TC walked me through the issues and pointed out the source so that I was fully aware of what he was doing. If you have mold issues, need excavation, waterproofing, installation of a French drain system, hire TC!"
"I donâ t often give reviews but Jimmy earned it. We hired him to investigate potential moisture/mold in our home after a couple of long withstanding leaks from previous tenants. He showed up early and was friendly and easy to talk to. He displayed great knowledge about home construction, mold causes and treatments, and talked me through the entire process he uses for inspections. He utilized an array of equipment and was incredibly thorough in his assessment. The entire time he was here, he answered every question my wife and I had and was absolute pleasure to work with. Not to sound negative, but it is truly hard to find someone who knows what theyâ re doing and Jimmy is one of those rare people you can count on. I really canâ t recommend him enough. If you want a thorough and honest inspection performed, you can stop looking because you found your guy."

"Chris was very thorough. He explained everything he was doing and why. Also he was very personable which goes a long way with me. I will be keeping his info and recommending him to anyone who may need help with mold inspections, or house construction inspections."
"House was for sale, inspector found mold... lots of it... in the attic. Contacted Pro-Clean, they came right out, inspected everything and outlined the "plan of attack". They took are of everything... I didn't even need to be there. Everything looks great, and no messes to clean up after! Price was more than I wanted to spend, but fair considering the amount of remediation that needed to be done. "
Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts
A stain from a water leak will usually be brown and concentrated in a single area where the water is originating from. You may find it under a damaged section of roof, under an upstairs bathroom, or beneath your HVAC system. Stains from condensation are more likely to be widespread since they don’t come from a single point of water intrusion. Condensation stains also look blotchy and may smell musty, and they won’t be concentrated in a single area on your ceiling.
While fiberglass dust is not generally considered toxic, inhaling the fibers can cause irritation to the respiratory system, eyes, and skin. Short-term exposure may lead to temporary discomfort, including coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath. However, prolonged or chronic exposure can result in more severe respiratory problems. Unlike asbestos, fiberglass is not associated with life-threatening illnesses. To minimize health risks when working with fiberglass materials, it is essential to use proper safety measures, such as wearing protective equipment like masks and goggles.
You can check your home's humidity in a few ways. A simple option is to use a hygrometer, which you can find at a hardware or big box store. Your smartphone may also have an app that can measure humidity. Modern thermostats, particularly smart thermostats, are also able to measure humidity levels.
Mold can begin to grow in as little as 12 to 24 hours, especially if the room is warm, so drying the area is the first thing you should do after water damage. Because mold and mildew can cause a range of health issues, make sure you clean up any water damage as soon as possible and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours to dry out the room and reduce the risk of mold growth.
Results typically come back within 48 hours, allowing for prompt remedial action.
