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

Toxic mold doesn't have a specific color; instead, toxicity depends on the type of mold and the mycotoxins it produces. Stachybotrys chartarum (also known as black mold) is notorious for its potential toxicity. However, not all molds appearing black are Stachybotrys chartarum. Mold species that appear in various colors, such as green, gray, brown, or black, can also produce mycotoxins. Therefore, it's essential to focus on identifying the type of mold through professional testing rather than relying solely on color to determine its toxicity.

Since most mushrooms are beneficial for your grass, and otherwise harmless, it’s not a good idea to kill them with fungicide. If you suspect you have a poisonous type of mushroom in your grass, you should consult a professional concerning mitigation. There are lots of types of mushrooms and most are perfectly safe.

EIFS has several disadvantages, primarily related to cost and moisture. The system tends to have higher upfront installation costs compared to other siding options, and repairs can also be expensive, especially if water damage occurs. A significant downside is its low breathability, which can trap moisture between its layers from either leakage or condensation. This trapped moisture increases the risk of developing mold and rot, which can lead to costly and extensive repairs if not addressed promptly.

If the smell is closer to mildew or rotten eggs, the issue is probably mold or bacteria buildup in the machine or its drainage system. Clean your washing machine thoroughly, paying close attention to the rubber door gasket, as it can harbor odor-causing residue. Some machines have lint or debris filters that should also be checked and cleaned according to the user manual's instructions. Be sure to leave the machine's door or lid open after each use, as this allows for better air circulation and helps prevent mold growth.

Mold on window sills is common, especially in damp or poorly ventilated areas. Windows are prone to condensation, which creates the moisture mold needs to grow. Dust, dirt, and other debris on the sills can further feed mold spores. While it’s not unusual, it should be addressed quickly to prevent further growth and potential health risks.
