"

Gerry arrived on time and was very personable. He said he would look in every nook and cranny including cupboards, etc. After his inspection he showed me his findings and explained about taking samples and asked permission for the air samples, as they were $100.00 each. I agreed to all procedures and costs because I felt it was important to know everything. The report was e-mailed to me on the 3rd day as promised and it was very scientific with pictures and readings and all kinds of information. They called to let me know it was done and I appreciated that. I needed to call a few times afterwards with questions and they were always there. The secretary was especially nice because she listened to my concerns regarding some one I hired whom I didn't think was getting the job done right., and also because it was someone they recommended for me because I asked them to give me recommendations.

After receiving the report, and before and after hiring their recommended company, I began looking at the surrounding areas and found more items which had mold. All of my findings were in the very rooms that had been inspected. I found mold on furnishings in our basement main room, which was not included or noted in the report. It has also since been found in our garage..........I felt sure he had looked in the garage because I saw him enter the house from the garage door at one point when I went downstairs to see if he needed anything. This mold is mostly in the insulation on the garage ceiling and some surrounding wood which was found by a home inspector I hired. ..This inspector also found that the wood floors in both bedrooms above the garage showed higher than normal humidity readings and the entire basement flooring is at a 16% reading. ( that would explain the mold found on the furniture) I am so disappointed. I feel I paid 399.00 for someone to find half the mold. I thought I was hiring experts and could rest assured that every room had been thoroughly looked at. I can only assume that checking the flooring for moisture during a mold inspection is optional.

If anyone out there is going to have this kind of inspection I highly recommend staying with the person and really looking at everything because you know your home best, making sure you and the inspector have looked at every possible place for your own peace of mind. I was worried and thought I might be in the way. There was a lot of stuff in all the rooms, however I did offer to move anything to help him get through his inspection. He never asked and I assumed all was well. I'd like also to mention that in the report, after each description of the separate findings, the statement is made that "hidden mold is possible". I learned that getting a thorough inspection is really not possible.

"I have only good things to say. Pascal was super responsive, professional, explained the mold testing process and what kind of air samples he recommended. The results were ready within 2 days, along with a detailed lab report and an explanation of the report that was easily understandable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for professional testing of mold and other contaminants."

"Mold testing was thorough but do not let them sell you on their remediation do-it-yourself kit without knowing exactly what you are paying for. The kit is non-refundable and sold by a separate company. They do not tell you that. They transfer you to who you think is another employee to advise about remediation and they are actually transferring you to a completely different company. I was very disappointed when I learned all that. That company does not send out an itemized list of what you paid for unless you ask for it. It has been four days and after spending close to two thousand dollars I have yet to know what I bought."

"Fantastic company and an even better work crew. They did a complete mold remediation of our crawlspace. Removed existing insulation, did mold remediation, installed new insulation and insulated all of our duct work and replaced vapor barrier. Workers were professional throughout the entire process. Thanks Jo, will definitely recommend!!"

"I have lathe and plaster walls so having the option to have a dog come and smell was the best for us. Corinna and her dog Catalina were very professional (I have 2dogs of my own which we put outside). Catalina and Corinna are very professional pair I would highly recommend them to check for mold if your in need of this type of service. We do have mold and will be dealing with that issue. Mold is an issue in western Washington. I have been sneezing multiple times in a row when I sneeze for a few years and found out that is a mold related issue."

The labor was done with attention to neatness and detail. We are very happy with the results. We also had our basement carpet replace with moisture retardant tile pads and tile."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Excessive humidity in a room often manifests through visible signs like condensation on windows or walls, a musty or damp odor lingering in the air, peeling wallpaper or paint, and the presence of mold or mildew. Experiencing discomfort due to a consistently clammy or sticky feeling can also indicate high humidity levels.

Mold inspections are worth it because they can catch troublesome mold problems early before they get out of hand. It's worth it to address mold problems as soon as possible because mold can be hazardous to your health and cause damage to your home and its belongings. Mold testing and inspections are the best way to know if you have a mold issue in your house.

Yes, if installed correctly. Moisture barrier padding blocks dampness from reaching the padding core and subfloor, where mold loves to grow, especially in humid environments like basements. However, poor installation with gaps or loose seams can do the exact opposite, trapping moisture and creating mold problems. So, make sure to do your installation carefully or hire a professional.

The cost for mold remediation typically ranges from $1,125 to $3,350, with a national average of around $2,400. The final price depends on various factors, including the location and square footage of the affected area, the type of mold, and local labor costs.

Additional factors that influence the total cost include:

  • Extent of Damage: The overall price can increase significantly if extensive repairs are needed after mold removal, such as replacing large sections of drywall. Removing mold from a small area of drywall might cost between $300 and $825, but full wall replacement is more expensive.

  • Health Risks: The cost is also justified by the health risks associated with toxic mold, which can cause respiratory distress, act as carcinogens, or even damage the nervous system.

  • Comprehensive Service: Remediation involves not only removing the mold but also addressing the moisture issues that caused it to prevent future growth.

  • Testing and Air Quality: The need for safety testing and measures to improve indoor air quality can also add to the cost.

For an accurate estimate, it is best to consult a mold removal specialist who can assess the specifics of your situation.

Yes, mold on wood furniture can be dangerous, especially if it is identified as black mold. Inhaling spores or touching mold can make some people sick with respiratory issues, skin rashes, and eye irritation. However, some people have mild or no symptoms after exposure to mold. If you are going to clean mold off wood furniture, you should wear protective equipment to avoid direct exposure.
