"Wes knows this business. I asked him a bunch of technical questions about the mold testing I needed performed and he provided detailed answers. Afterwards he explained the results in the same way: detailed and east to understand."

"I cannot fully express my gratitude to George for his service. He was at my house within 2 hrs of my call. He went out of his way to explain my mold situation in a way I could understand. He gave me quick tips and made necessary personal referrals and was so reassuring. This is a professional organization and I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"We are so glad that we selected CMM to do our mold remediation. From the initial meeting with Ken to the actual remediation by Ed and AJ, it was obvious that they are a family owned company who did the job in a caring and professional manner. Ed and AJ were always on time, courteous, informative of each step that they wee taking and at the end described what they did and why. I would highly recommend this company."

"Matthew Mulcahy was a pleasure to work with. Over the course of four days, he took care of the interior repairs that were needed in response to ice damming damage we encountered in February, 2021. Matthew's work included drywall replacement, molding replacement, repair of a wall crack, and ceiling and painting in the master bedroom. When completed, everything looked like new. He will be our #1 choice for any future work in our condo."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.

Although mildew is less harmful than mold, that doesn’t mean it’s safe. Breathing in even small amounts of mildew can cause serious health complications, especially in those with weakened immune systems. If you find any mildew in your home and can’t completely remove it easily (and there are elderly or sick people living there) you should call a professional right away.

Several factors contribute to the persistent growth of mold in vents, with excess moisture being the most common culprit. Consistent mold formation in vents indicates an ongoing moisture problem within the HVAC system or its surroundings, likely caused by condensation on cool surfaces in areas with high humidity. Moisture accumulation can also result from leaks in ductwork, inadequate ventilation, or insufficient insulation, creating an environment favorable for mold growth. Regular inspections, addressing potential sources of moisture, maintaining proper ventilation, and routine HVAC maintenance can help prevent the recurrence of mold in vents. If the issue persists, seek professional assistance to identify and rectify the underlying problems.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

Powdery mildew tends to grow mostly on leafy plants. The mold itself isn’t particularly harmful, except for those who are allergic to mold. However, you should treat it like you’d treat the discovery of any other mold, and get rid of it immediately. Powdery mildew can spread to your home, which can cause expensive damage.
