"Air Quality Testing. Mike Laperle is very professional and straight forward. He knew exactly what my issues are and went about testing for the air toxins I knew were contributing to part of the problem. If you need your home tested for air quality, not just mold and mildew, I recommend him. I did put in some air purification systems and filters that he sells and within 48 hours, there was a noticeable difference. Of course, I need more work done as the house is getting up there in years, as are the occupants[smile], but it's nice and financially reasonable to boot, to have had the air tested, being able to see exactly what was floating around, and then, being able to address some of the issues within 24 hours. Believe me, it's what you don't see that could lead you to an article I had previously read entitled,"Could Your House Be Killing You" and finding out, yes, it could be contributing to worsening physical issues. Now, I'm not saying air purification systems are the only thing anyone will need, but to be able to set them up right away along with the reasonable price of what we needed, for now, it's a big start. Yes, of course, I need more work done and will be back "tooling around" Home Advisors as I go through all the "stuff" I put off for years and now, that "stuff" has become a nightmare. So, step 1 is nearly checked off my bucket list as I may go with a larger air filtration unit for another part of the house, but let me just assure you of one thing. If you have concerns about what may be contributing to indoor air quality issues, Mike Laperle and Aerus of Rhode Island are well worth talking to and then, follow up and have him come test the house. Finally, everyone in this market, of course, has something to sell, but what makes it a non-hard sell, is when you are dealing with someone who does have your needs as a priority, can show you exactly what the meters are picking up in real time, and who actually, questioned me about why I wanted something that cost a bit more when he thought I'd be fine with a different one that cost less. He also told me some of the other things I need to pursue on getting the house in better shape, but not once, pushed a contractor, another service his company may have offered, or anyone else at my husband and I. Afterall, that's what this site is for. Hope this helps you."

"I have had over 30 contractors at my home as it has been basically rebuilt.  This company has been the most professional i have dealt with.  Showed up on time, communicated progress, cleaned up at the end of each day COMPLETELY, came with all necessary tools and supplies.
Along the width of the house, all of the walls were removed from the floor to aprox 2 feet.  Lower portion of studs and base plates removed, walls sealed with amazing product, studs, base plate and walls replaced (not the sheetrock).  All lower level floors sealed.
We have had over 5" of rain in the last 24 hours.  This is the first time since i have owned this house that the floors have not flooded when we have saturated soil and heavy rain. 
Incredible product, excellent company.  i highly recommend both.

"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."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

While fiberglass dust is not generally considered toxic, inhaling the fibers can cause irritation to the respiratory system, eyes, and skin. Short-term exposure may lead to temporary discomfort, including coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath. However, prolonged or chronic exposure can result in more severe respiratory problems. Unlike asbestos, fiberglass is not associated with life-threatening illnesses. To minimize health risks when working with fiberglass materials, it is essential to use proper safety measures, such as wearing protective equipment like masks and goggles.

Mold can grow on garage ceiling insulation, which is why it’s important to install a vapor barrier behind the insulation and keep the space cooled and heated as you would your living area. Doing so will more or less eliminate the risk of mold growing on your garage ceiling insulation. You can also install a self-draining dehumidifier to help remove moisture, or opt for a foam board insulation or spray foam insulation that won’t harbor moisture and mold.

Mold is not guaranteed to grow on wet drywall, but the risk increases significantly the longer the material remains wet. Mold and mildew can begin to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours, especially in optimal conditions, which include moist, dark places with temperatures between 77 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If the drywall is too wet to dry within that timeframe, mold can grow and spread. In any instance of water damage, it is wise to get a mold inspection to be certain that none has taken up residence in your home.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay.
