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."

"This company is very expensive but I was happy with the detailed report that I got. They charged me $100 for a mold alarm but did not send me any instructions and will not tell me how to use it over the phone. So that was a huge waste of money. Phillipe collected the swabs and was pretty amazing. I appreciated him taking the time to show me some of his concerns. They charge $400 for two air samples and two swabs. Very expensive. The person who called me to go over my report was amazing. She was very helpful and provided me with additional resources. If you have concerns related to toxic mold or are pursuing a lawsuit then I would recommend them but they are the most expensive"

"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."

"Phill came out and inspected my attic which was covered in black mold. We set up a time for him and his crew to come out and they were on time and got the job done in a timely manner. The after pictures of my attic once they finished spraying fir mold had the attic brand new! I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking for quality work and it to be done in a timely manner."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

If you need mold remediation, you’re probably looking at a bill of a couple thousand dollars or more. Sometimes, though, your homeowner’s insurance policy may cover some or all of the costs of the remediation. If the black mold forms because of a covered event, such as a storm that damages your roof, and causes leaking or flooding in the basement, it’s possible the policy also covers mold remediation. It never hurts to ask your insurance company if it will cover the cost of black mold remediation.

Yes, brown spots on a ceiling are usually caused by water leaks and can lead to mold growth, especially if you don’t correct the underlying problem. Ongoing water leaks and moisture issues will almost always result in mold growth, especially if you live in a warm climate. Mold is a health hazard, so get the root problem fixed quickly, clean it, and encapsulate the area to avoid mold formation.

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.

If you’ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn’t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home’s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional plumber near you to make an assessment.

Eliminating mold from wood permanently poses a challenge as the mold spores have the ability to deeply penetrate the porous wood surface. While surface mold can be effectively eradicated with proper cleaning and preventative measures, it's difficult to guarantee its non-recurrence under favorable conditions. To prevent mold from reappearing, it is important to identify and resolve the root cause of the moisture that triggered mold growth initially.

Ensuring appropriate ventilation and a dry environment, or consider applying protective finishes such as sealant, varnish, or paint to prevent future moisture penetration and mold growth. Consistently inspect and maintain the area to keep the wood free from mold in the long term.
