"I couldn’t be more impressed with this company. From start to finish, the level of professionalism, communication, and thoroughness was truly exceptional. John arrived on time, fully prepared, and immediately demonstrated an expert-level understanding of every system in the home. His attention to detail was remarkable—he didn’t rush, he didn’t cut corners, and he explained every finding in a clear, approachable way that made the entire process feel stress-free. One of the biggest standouts was the range of services offered. Having sewer camera inspections, chimney camera inspections, and a mold assessment available in one appointment saved me so much time and money. John used modern equipment, including a drone for the roof inspection, and provided high-resolution photos, videos, and an incredibly organized report. What really makes John special is the pride John takes in his work. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about protecting his clients and helping them make informed decisions."

"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

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Mold can come back after cleaning, especially if the conditions are right. Mold loves moist environments, so if you clean a piece of furniture, then put it back in a humid area, the mold can return. Mold may also return if you missed an area during cleaning. A professional mold remediation company can help ensure that the mold is gone for good.

If you believe mold is hidden somewhere in your home, don’t delay inspecting it, as it can be dangerous, especially to people with breathing problems and allergies. While it’s possible to learn how to check for mold yourself, we advise most people to hire a professional mold inspector, who can look more thoroughly. You can also purchase mold test kits if you aren’t sure if your home has mold, but a true human inspector is still your best bet.

Yes, carpet mold can spread if not addressed properly or quickly. Mold can spread to underneath the carpet, impacting the subfloor or attached walls. Mold and mildew can spread within the first 72 hours, so it is important to address the problem quickly and remove any affected carpet. 

Bathroom tiles can contain asbestos, just the same as patio tiles or kitchen tiles. Remember that asbestos was used primarily for its insulative and fire-resistant properties, both of which are desired in a house. Before we knew asbestos caused cancers and other diseases, it made a lot of sense to include it in many different building materials, including bathroom tiles.
