David Silver, IEP/LMA; holds New York State licensing as a mold assessor, he also has first hand personal experience with molds affecting the health of loved ones in not one but two homes. He has undergone the process of water damage and mold discovery countless times and had his own home undergo extensive demolition, removal of molds, cleaning and rebuilding. He brings a much needed level of empathy to those who are embarking on this kind of endeavor. He recognizes and is sensitive to the high level stress and financial cost this can bring.

"David was not only proficient and professional with a high level of expertise but had such deep heartfelt compassion and empathy for my situation. It was a refreshing and comforting experience to work with David. Given all the unknowns, David's patience and ability to educate me on the potential outcomes really helped to settle me down. I like to know what I'm facing and I feel like David and First Stop Environmental gave me life affirming choices. Thank you."

https://www.baldeagle.biz As the President of Bald Eagle Inspection Services, I have nearly two decades of practical experience in both residential and commercial construction industries. Much of my professional career has been spent as an Estimator and Project Manager for a large general contractor in New York State. I have a vast knowledge and experience background working with commercial and residential systems, components and proper building practices, including the successful completion of several multi-million dollar large scale building projects in the area, ranging from schools to medical facilities, MRI’s, laboratory and research, chemical manufacturing, warehouse, office building, and of course, residential properties. I also maintain a huge database of construction data, a large network of subcontractors, suppliers, companies and organizations and am well respected throughout the industry. I noticed a need for quality, knowledgeable home inspectors through my own experiences. Motivated by my drive to grow and excel in my career, I created Bald Eagle Inspection Services, LLC. I have obtained many certifications through the past years. In addition to a Bachelor of Construction Management Technology from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, MA, I have also obtained OSHA 30 hour training, HAZWHOPPER 40 hour training, and LEED Green Associate. I’m an InterNACHI-Certified Professional Inspector, also known as CPI, I’m Commercial Inspector Certified, InterNACHI Wood Destroying Insect Certified, and New York State Licensed (#1600007491). To expand my knowledge and to better serve my clients, I am currently working toward additional certifications.

"Being a first time home buyer and looking at a 120 year old house, I was concerned with getting in over my head with possible repairs. The report Jason provided exceeded expectations and reviewed items I wouldn't have though of. Now, 6 months after moving in, I am using his report as a guide to take preventative measures to avoid costly fixes in the future."

"The communication was terrible, a job that should have taken a week took 3 weeks some days no one showed up. The job wasn't completed because I got fed up with time and lack on consistency. The work was subpar and not done properly missing j channels- gaps in wrap install. Going to cost me more to fix/complete the work. I do not recommend."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Although fiberglass dust is generally not considered toxic, inhaling excessive amounts of it can lead to health risks. Irritation to the respiratory system, eyes, and skin are common effects of fiberglass particle inhalation. While short-term exposure to the dust may only cause temporary discomfort, long-term or chronic exposure can lead to more severe respiratory problems.

Proper safety measures, such as wearing appropriate protective equipment, including masks and goggles, should be observed when handling or working with fiberglass materials to minimize health risks. It is important to note that, unlike asbestos, fiberglass is not associated with life-threatening illnesses.

Mold in air ducts releases spores into the air, which cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, or itchy eyes. Prolonged mold exposure can lead to more serious health issues, especially for those with compromised immune systems.

Telling the difference between poisonous and nonpoisonous mushrooms is difficult even for trained mushroom experts and biologists! However, nature provides some red flags for poisonous mushrooms. Assume that any mushroom with a red cap or stem is poisonous. You should also assume mushrooms with white gills, rings, skirts, or a sack-like base are poisonous. 

You can kill slime mold with organic fungicides and commercial products like BioSafe Disease Control. However, the following substances will also get rid of slime mold: baking soda, potassium bicarbonate, cornmeal, cornmeal tea, and hydrogen peroxide. Typically, these fungi are cosmetic and rarely harmful to plants, so it’s OK to wait it out. The matter will disappear in a few days to two weeks.

Yes, mold can grow under your shower tiles if they aren’t thoroughly waterproofed. Even if you have a durable, non-porous tile material, water can make its way through grout or gaps around the edges of the shower. This will slowly erode the grout, which can cause tiles to come loose. It can also trap moisture behind tiles, and within a day or two, mold and mildew can rapidly grow.
