• <div><p>Some of the most common signs of sensitivity or illness from mold include congestion, eye irritation, difficulty breathing, and headaches. These symptoms may not lead to long-term health issues. However, some types of mold, like<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-black-mold-toxic.htm"> toxic black mold</a>, can make you quite ill. You may experience respiratory issues, skin rashes, or neurological issues after exposure because of the toxicity. Infants, people with compromised immune systems, and older adults can suffer the most severe reactions.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for slime mold to go away?

• <div><p>Slime mold can thrive for weeks or months in the perfect environment, but that rarely occurs. The mold will typically die within a week of you noticing it. However, it could be dead long before it disappears, and since it&rsquo;s safe to handle, it&rsquo;s easier to get rid of it all at once. This eliminates its chance to spread, and also won&rsquo;t leave you looking at decaying slime mold.</p></div>

Q: What are some signs that mold is behind your drywall?

• <div><p>There are a few signs that might indicate that mold is living behind your drywall. You might notice water stains on your walls or the ceiling, or see the wallpaper begin to peel. Wearing a mask, you could prod at any suspicious areas with a screwdriver; if the wall feels weak or soft, it&rsquo;s likely there is water damage and possibly mold.</p></div>

Q: What are signs that mold is growing behind walls?

• <div><p>It can be challenging to know if mold is growing behind walls without knocking them down. If the walls show signs of water damage (discoloration, water stains, or peeling paint) or there&rsquo;s a musty odor, it&rsquo;s possible mold is growing. Know the difference between signs of water damage vs. termites because termite infestations are sometimes mistaken for water damage. A more subtle sign might be your own health: If you&rsquo;re constantly not feeling well or are sneezing, scratching your eyes, or coughing when in a specific room, you could have mold.</p></div>

Q: What are the main causes of mold?

• <div><p>Mold thrives in high-moisture environments, whether that&rsquo;s steady leaks or just high condensation. Around the house, common causes of mold include leaky pipes, a leaking roof, high humidity, poor ventilation, a damp basement, rotting food in the fridge, wet clothing and towels not hung properly for drying, a leaking foundation, and a leaky air conditioner.</p><p>And, of course, if your home suffers from flood damage, you stand the risk of developing mold in the aftermath. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to act quickly at the first sign of mold.</p></div>

Glen and 2 workers came today and did a wonderful job. They were very concerned about safety. It was fascinating to watch the remote control going up and cutting the limbs down. Very pleased - and they did a great job cleaning up afterwards too. I'd give an A+ if I could!!

"We read the other reviews and we decided to book based off of them, however our experience was very different. First I will say that the mold was removed and Dan appeared to do a good job with that. Our biggest complaint was communication. We had taken a day off of work to be there for it to be done and when I texted to confirm our appointment he canceled 5 minutes prior to his arrival time. We rescheduled and this continuously happened. Our times were pushed back, rescheduled, or canceled and each time we got ridiculous excuses. Any time we reach out whether it be phone call, text, or email, we would not get a response and often had to send several follow ups. He came out and retested for our 6 month follow up on May 9th and said the results would be sent the next day and of course we have not gotten anything. The communication has been terrible and nothing has been done in a timely manner. He left the air scrubbers at our house for over a week and we continuously have to ask him to send results or follow up. While the first original job seemed good, we are absolutely fed up with the lack of communication and would not recommend to anyone considering using this company. For as much money as we spent, we expected to be able to get in contact with him, but that does not happen."
