"We had several conversations with Hunter as we pursued mold remediation and testing. Hunter was extremely helpful and patient throughout the process. He was timely both in regards to communication as well as scheduled visit for testing. We appreciated his expertise and recommendations to address mold issues. He used a high quality machine to test every room in the house and we had same day results. I would not hesitate to use his services again as well as recommend to friends and family."

"The master teach was highly informative in explaining the science of the terms. I had previously hired another company and was left confused. I therefore paid more to have a second test by the Mold Test Company, and it was a very wise decision. If you think you may have mold in your home are apartment, I highly recommend that you contact Mold Test Company"

"Once contacted, Gregory Paxson provided timely and very professional mold and remediation services. Besides finding mold in several areas of the home, he also discovered the cause of the mold. All of the damaged materials were removed which allowed the plumbers to repair the water leaks that were causing the mold. Mr Paxson then was able to remove and replace the damaged insulation in the crawl space. During that work, he also discovered an additional structural problem that had to be addressed. In summary, Mr Paxson successfully completed removing the mold, conducting microbial remediation steps, replacing the damaged insulation, and installing a new crawl space vapor barrier ."

"Since this work is technical and specialized, I cannot judge work quality and value for money, but the overall experience was very positive. They came on time, were pleasant and efficient, and inspired confidence in their ability to do a proper job. They were totally professional. They called to give me the results as soon as they were available, with an emailed written report a few days later. I chose this firm to test for asbestos in a ceiling because they do only testing, not the remediation work should the result be positive."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

While metal ducts are known for being the most durable choice, flex ductwork is a safe alternative with a host of additional benefits. The key to installing flexible ducts is to make sure they’re properly sized and installed. For optimal results, it’s always best to hire a duct installation pro who has extensive experience with flex duct installation.

If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. Asbestos tiles can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.

It is common for mold to grow around air vents, especially in areas with high humidity or moisture problems. These vents provide a perfect environment for mold to thrive due to the condensation caused by the meeting of warm and cool air. Mold growth can be accelerated by the presence of dust and debris around the vents. Regular maintenance, proper ventilation, and addressing any water leaks or excess humidity can prevent the growth of mold around air vents.

The negatives of a humidifier are the potential for mold growth due to high humidity levels, the up-front cost, and the energy requirements to run it. Depending on the state of humidity in your home, you may not actually see lower utility bills due to the humidifier running on a near-constant basis.
