Air Quality Testing and Recommendations for Mold Remediation
We had another company do an air quality test for mold in the lower level of our home, and their results came back that we had a mold infestation which required containment and remediation. We were surprised by the findings and suspicious of the recommendations for costly remediation.
We called the "Mold Guy" and asked if they could provide a second opinion. We shared the results of the first lab test and arranged for Ross to come out the next day. Ross came in on his day off, advised us to do a few simple things (remove cardboard boxes, and old moving blankets) and retested the air for mold. The test results which came in on the same day indicated clean air in the lower level and Ross advised that we did not need to do the expensive remediation recommended by the other company.
Why were the two samples so different? Ross was able to point to a few simple things that may have caused the first air sample to give a high mold count. He suggested we do these simple things and the second air test passed. I believe in this approach. You do the easy things first...and if they do not work, then you try the more difficult and costly things. Ross was knowledgeable, practical and very time efficient in dealing with this issue. He also arranged for same day testing and lab results along with his report which was sent from his office within 5 hours of testing. Very impressive!
Finally, the costs of the Mold Guy for Testing was almost 50% of the other company.
I would highly recommend Ross and his team at the Mold Guy for analysis and recommendations for remediation for any situation where there is suspected Mold Contamination. I wish I had used the Mold Guy initially as it would have decreased our frustration and anxiety caused by another Mold company.
