"Shawn was responsive, professional, knowledgeable and honest. He inspected our home, and told us with integrity that no more inspection was needed - it was not a mold problem. He offered alternative solutions and problem-solving ideas. Thank you!"
"Kleanforce Environmental comes highly recommended. They promptly return calls and arrive at the scheduled time and place as promised. They are extremely efficient, knowledgeable and professional. A bathroom water leak, 7 years ago, in a bathroom exterior wall created the unknown mold issue in the adjacent interior wall. The interior of the exterior wall was opened up by the builder of my home. The insulation was removed, water leak was repaired, wall cavity dried, re-insulated and the wall was repaired. In September 2020, I began a remodel of the same bathroom and discovered mold in the adjacent interior wall. After receiving two quotes, one firm in Albuquerque for $6.2K and one in Las Cruces for $600.00 I knew that something wasn't right. I searched Home Advisor and found Gary. My initial contact and conversation was a fabulous experience. The quote for mold remediation was very fair. The pre & post tests of the air quality and mold spore count on effected surfaces was included in the remediation task. Gary and his team did a fabulous job of cleaning up post the mold remediation. The team understood my concerns, made me feel at ease and I felt like a truly valued client."
"provider arrived on time, was very professional and personable, and did a fantastic job. the carpet looked great, and the 15 year-old recliner looked new after cleaning. also, the provider gave detailed instructions on cleaning of another upholstered chair that could not be cleaned with water; very knowledgeable. i would definitely recommend this provider."
"They are very friendly and professional I have no worries leaving them in my house alone. They watched to make sure my pets did not leave the house and we're very very nice I recommend them highly."
"Great people to do business with and would not call anyone else for this type of work! All the work done proffesionaly and in a timely manner ver satisfied with the whole job! Thanks Kegan and Ed and Tim!!"
"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."
"We needed someone to install tile around the bathtub at an apartment unit we own. Joey at 2 Daughters Handyman came to the rescue. He quoted us a fair price based on what we could see. However, once he started the work other complications were discovered such as mold behind the existing wall. Joey and his crew were able to take care of each issue and charged us a fair amount for the extra work performed. We were very impressed with his willingness to get the job done in a timely manner. He even went to two or three places on his own to find the tile we wanted. We will definitely use 2 Daughters again and would recommend them to anyone needing his services.
Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts
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.
Running an air conditioner with mold is not safe because it can spread harmful mold spores throughout your home. Exposure to these spores can trigger various health problems, including respiratory issues, allergies, coughing, wheezing, sneezing, itchy eyes, and a sore throat. It may also aggravate asthma in household members. Continued exposure can increase the risk of more serious illnesses like sinus infections, pneumonia, and bronchitis. If you suspect mold in your air conditioner, you should stop using the system until it has been properly cleaned to avoid health risks and further contamination.
Mold grows at the fastest rate the environment it’s in will let it. The space between your vinyl flooring and the base flooring it’s on is a perfect environment for mold growth, allowing for rapid spread and contamination. Preventing this involves a proper installation of the flooring and constant humidity control.
Mold thrives in high-moisture environments, whether that’s steady leaks or just high condensation. Around the house, common causes of mold include leaky pipes, a leaking roof, high humidity, poor ventilation, a damp basement, rotting food in the fridge, wet clothing and towels not hung properly for drying, a leaking foundation, and a leaky air conditioner.
And, of course, if your home suffers from flood damage, you stand the risk of developing mold in the aftermath. That’s why it’s important to act quickly at the first sign of mold.
Wood stain is not considered toxic after it dries. The solvents in wood stain are what give off volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are toxic, but these dissolve as the product dries, leaving behind a non-toxic product. When working with wood stain, you should always wear a respirator and rubber gloves to protect yourself, but once it dries fully, it’s not toxic, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
