Could Water Damage, Equal Mold and Wood Rot?
How many times have I heard, that someone has had Water Damage and the person has wanted to save money and let it dry out, on its own? Since I have been in business, since 1987,  I hear of this quite often. Is this a wise thing to do?  I certainly would not advise it but some people feel like this is the way to save money but they are not saving money, in the long run.   Lets also look at safety and what water damage can turn into.  If someone does not have … (1 comments)

How important is indoor,  air quality to you?  How clean do you think your indoor air quality is?  Many people never stop to consider this until they talk to me or read an article that I write and then I get a phone call or email. People ask me all the time of what he or she is breathing and do I have a Mold Issue and could Mold be making me feel bad?  I have no idea until I get my samples taken and sent off to a lab for testing.

            People in the United States today are becoming more and more aware of the necessity of recycling, “going green,” and doing whatever is necessary to protect and purify our environment, so one habitat we should certainly not overlook is the area within our own homes.  The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has stated that the air inside our homes is dirtier than the air outside in smog-filled cities.  What is in the air that is causing it to be so dangerous?  Bacteria, toxins, and allergens are the primary culprits, but you may be surprised how many are … (1 comments)

got mold we have the cure: Does, Where You Live, Matter Regarding Getting Mold/Mildew? - 06/24/12 06:53 AM
         One of the most important aspects to consider when it comes to mold is the humidity and moisture in your home.  Those of us who live in the South know that our climate is most often hot and wet.  This produces a great chance that there is excess moisture within our homes, and anywhere there’s a high level of moisture, there is likely to be mold.  Of course, the logical thing to do is to control the amount of moisture in the home.  The amount of moisture required to produce mold, however, may not be great, and … (1 comments)

got mold we have the cure: Should You Avoid Mold When Building or Decorating? - 05/01/12 03:14 PM
            The media is full of horror stories today about toxic mold.  They’re reported from all over the world, and most people have begun to pay attention to them and to take care of water problems or mold as soon as they discover it.  Many people are aware now of some of the symptoms to look for when you suspect illness caused by dangerous mold.  I believe, however, that the average home or property owner has failed to consider mold when they are building and decorating a new structure or redecorating and renovating an old one.  The … (0 comments)

got mold we have the cure: Is Your Family as Safe as You Think? - 04/29/12 02:31 PM
          Last January our family was blessed with a new addition, a precious little girl, my third grandchild.  If you’re a grandparent, you know the delight and inexplicable feeling when that child first smiles at you and melts your heart.  I can truly say there is nothing I wouldn’t do for her or to protect her.  That’s why I’ve been doing some research lately on the internet about allergies.  Both of her parents suffer from migraines and other painful symptoms caused by allergies.  I was disappointed to find that she’s 75% more likely to have allergic reactions since … (0 comments)

got mold we have the cure: Mold Could Change Your Life - 04/16/12 04:35 AM
I was just watching one of my favorite shows on TV when I heard a singer remark that his career had to be put on hold because of a mold problem that caused him to have a constant illness.  After the problem was found and the mold removed, his health improved, and he was able to continue with his career.  Stories like this are very common.  Some of them may even appear too farfetched to believe. That’s one of the problems you face when dealing with mold.  People just don’t seem to be sure about where to find it, what to … (1 comments)

got mold we have the cure: Hassles of Handling Mold. Do You Even Have Elevated Levels? - 02/23/12 08:14 AM
There are over 100,000 species of mold.  Some are readily detectable because of their musty odor and the appearance of black or white patches in areas that normally contain water—such as a bathroom or kitchen.  However, some are not so easily identified, and removing them permanently can be a seriously daunting task. 
          Most experts say that an area ten square feet or larger will most certainly require removal by a professional, but smaller areas in your home or business may also demand the attention of someone with expertise in the mold removal or remediation field.  For example, suppose you don’t … (1 comments)

got mold we have the cure: Why Am I getting So Many Requests For Donations? Wow! - 05/05/11 09:21 PM
I am sure this might be a hot or sore topic to talk or discuss but here goes.
 
Are you tired of hearing folks ask you for money when you go shopping at the cash register?  It seems that everywhere I go that folks are asking for money.  Should I start asking for a donation as well for my company?  Lol.  Are the companies who are taking these donations using these funds as a write-off at your expense?
Some thoughts to ponder on.
What are your thoughts?
 
I can not escape people asking me for money.  Either I get phone calls, or I get asked … (7 comments)

got mold we have the cure: A Mold is a Mold is a Mold. Right? Well, is it? - 03/06/11 09:43 AM
Molds or Moulds, in merry old England are a form of fungi which grow in multi cellular mats with hyphae (think tentacles, or antennae gone wild)  This is contrasted with Yeasts, which are single celled organisms.  Other fungi we may be familar with are mushrooms. Now, Fungi are, in sientific taxonomy, a kingdom unto itself (anyone hear of King Richards speech? "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse"?  What does this mean? This means that fungi are one of four main representatives of life, besides plants, animals and bacteria.
A single organism of fungus fruiting mushrooms has been found to … (4 comments)

Should bathroom exhaust fans, be exhausted to the attic or out side of the home?
How many times have you seen or noticed that Exhaust Fans are running but not Exhausting?  Have you ever tried the toilet paper test?  The Toilet Paper test is putting up Toilet Paper to the exhaust fan and seeing if it will hold the toilet papger up or not?  If, it does not hold the toilet paper up, this means that is is possibly not exhausting to either the attic or out side of the home.  Check to see if there is an obstruction in the line … (3 comments)
