"AMS is our HERO. The city sewer backed up and filled one third of our basement just before kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday. By halftime George had arrived. He calmly assessed the situation, and set up a time to return the following morning. His workers were polite, professional, and meticulous, and did an unbelievable job of cleaning up a horrible mess. By the end of the day the damaged items, sewage , and much of the smell was gone. Huge fans and a germ-killing ionizer ran for three days. When they were finished the floor was bone dry and absolutely clean. It occurred to us that the floor could not have been better cleaned if it were being prepped for painting. So we will be doing so. AMS has innate integrity and a wealth of knowledge across a wide spectrum. Any project can be entrusted to their competent hands. Chester and Jean Lehmann"

Whether you’re about to purchase a home or put your property on the market, a home inspector can inform you of the true state of the building. An objective thorough evaluation provides valuable information that will help you buy and sell with confidence and make the most of your home investment. We conduct comprehensive inspections, which include visual evaluation of the major components and systems of a home. Then we create a detailed, understandable report, highlighting any safety concerns and the condition of evaluated items. We also offer Radon and Mold testing if needed.

"Inspector Joe was the very best inspector weà ¢à  à  ve had . Weà ¢à  à  ve hired several different inspectors over the years and none did the quality of work that Joe did. He walked with us explained everything to us and wrote a very detailed report"

When you have mold, making the correct decisions right away is critical. Whether it is mold in your home, school, place of work, or apartment there are many factors to consider. Are you going to be involved in a mold lawsuit? Will you be seeking property damages? Is anyone sick from mold exposure? Will you be seeking medical damages? Will you need expert witnesses? If so, what kind? Do you just want to test to be sure your environment is safe? Do you need post mold remediation testing to ensure a good job was done? These and other factors are questions which need to be answered before any environmental testing starts. It is important to know what your goals are and why your testing. Different goals require different environmental tests, i.e. medical damages and property damages require different environmental tests to prove your case in court. Tests that a common, or inexperienced, mold inspector would not typically use or know to use.

"They did a prompt professional job. I received the report in about 7 days. Mold was found in the air due to high humidity in the air. All of this seemed OK but then I was forwarded to the Biocide company that tried to get me to buy a DIY mold remediation kit. There a time pressure to buy the kit for the best price at $2400. They said the nature of the mold would require a hazardous work fee from any remediation company that would cost from $12,000 - 18,000. This is when I started questioning the service I received. My pulmonologist also looked at the test results & said the mold levels did not seem too bad. Also, the humidity readings on my house thermostat did not read the high level that the report stated. So, I do not know if there was any value with the service & I am not sure if I would recommend them. The only way to really find out would be to call in another testing company but I did not want to spend another $660. So, I had the remediation work done for $1900 & was satisfied."

"I paid this company $600 to test the air in my detached garage. The results showed Cladosporium, which many professionals told me is extremely common. What happened next was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I’ve ever had with a home-service company. They sent me a remediation proposal for over $45,000, and in my personal opinion the scope, tone, and sheer intensity of the warnings felt completely disproportionate to the situation. The estimate was filled with pages of dramatic health claims that, to me, came across as fear tactics rather than professional guidance. When I asked questions, the owner was extremely rude and dismissive on the phone. The whole thing felt pushy and uncomfortable. After leaving an honest review, things escalated in a way that shocked me. The owner contacted me and offered a refund only if I signed a notarized disclaimer that he drafted. I personally found that very unusual, and I chose not to sign anything. What concerned me even more was what happened next: after I declined to sign the document, a negative review suddenly appeared online about my wife’s business — at our home address — claiming she had done work for him and stolen $600 from him. In my experience, this was completely untrue. My wife has never worked for him in any capacity. In my personal opinion, it felt retaliatory and deeply unprofessional. I ended up getting several second opinions from other mold professionals, all of whom felt the quote I received was excessive for what was found. Based on my experience with the customer service, the tone of the estimate, and the way things unfolded afterward, I would strongly recommend that other homeowners get multiple quotes before agreeing to anything. In my personal view, the way this situation was handled was alarming, unprofessional, and not in the best interest of the customer."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

The duration of mildew smell in carpets depends on several factors, including the extent of moisture, cleanliness, and ventilation. If promptly addressed, the smell can diminish within a few days to a couple of weeks after thoroughly drying and cleaning the carpet. However, in severe cases or if not properly treated, the smell might persist. Persistent odors could indicate deeper mildew growth, requiring professional cleaning or, in extreme cases, carpet replacement to completely eliminate the smell.

Inhaling smoke from burnt food can be harmful to your health. Smoke and strong odors released when food burns can cause respiratory distress, especially for people with health conditions like asthma or for pregnant people. Even for those without such sensitivities, burnt food smoke can cause lung inflammation and irritation when inhaled.

Black mold often smells musty, stale, or earthy, and some people liken its scent to that of sweaty clothing. While not everyone can identify the smell of mold, you are likely to smell it before you see it, as it usually is hidden in dark, damp areas; instead, the scent may pervade your entire home. If you smell mold, start by opening windows and looking for the source of the smell. If you find mold or are concerned about side effects, call a mold specialist right away, as it can be almost impossible to get rid of yourself.

Signs of mold under silicone caulk include discoloration or dark spots appearing through or around the caulk, a musty odor in the area, and visible growth on the surface of the caulk. Additionally, if the caulk feels soft or spongy, it could indicate moisture trapped underneath, which is a breeding ground for mold.

The symptoms of mold exposure for sensitive parties include a skin rash, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, burning eyes, and even more severe allergic reactions. If you notice signs of mold exposure, contact a medical professional right away.
