I highly recommend him. He' punctual, thorough, and the reports were much more detailed than I could've imagined. John sets the bar very high."

Dry-rot, Water or Pest Damage - Major Repair

Serving Root, NY and surrounding areas

In business since 1971

Credit card accepted

"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."

"Emergency clean up they performed turned out great! Had a water backup through the toilet in my finished basement late in the evening. KPM was easily reachable by phone and even helped us find a plumber to remedy the issue. Plumber and KPM came out to my house shortly after I made the calls and started the work right away. They were very thorough in the cleanup and disinfection. Tested drywall for any water absorption and removed only what was necessary. All contaminated material was removed and area was dehumidified after cleaning. They were professional and courteous throughout and worked well with the insurance adjuster as well."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering which is more toxic, laminate vs.vinyl flooring, you might be surprised to learn that both can include toxic chemicals. Depending on the specific brand and the manufacturing process, both are likely made from synthetic materials that can emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, into the air. However, since laminate has a wood core, it is more sustainable and less polluting than vinyl, which is entirely synthetic and almost always emits more VOCs than laminate flooring. If you’re concerned about indoor air quality, choose a low-chemical flooring manufacturer or, better yet, choose flooring that doesn’t off-gas VOCs.

There are different types of mold, and not all humans are the same. For example, a more toxic type of mold may have less of an effect on a healthy person than a less toxic mold in the home of someone who is immunocompromised. If you recognize any symptoms of mold poisoning—sinus issues, brain fog, respiratory distress, constraint cough, migraines, or any others—call your doctor or go to the hospital before you attempt any removal.

The gasket and drum of a washing machine are ideal spots for mold to grow. They are dark, warm, and humid, conditions that mold thrives in. The products you use to wash your clothing, such as fabric softener and detergent, can also encourage growth by giving the mold a food source.

Having a dry house can be unhealthy for you and the home. Excessive dryness can lead to respiratory issues, dry skin, dry or sore throats, and other problems. Additionally, any wooden furniture and the home's structure and floors can suffer from cracking and shrinking under dry indoor air conditions, leading to gaps and splits.

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.
