I am building a home and there is mold on the wood & trusses. I heard all types of serious concerns about mold and was almost feeling panicked and did not know who to turn to for advise. I kept my mind focused as I was driven to find the best person, the right person, the most educated and skilled person that I could find. I spoke to mold inspectors & remediator's in MA, NJ and other states. Being new to Florida I was unaware of the commonality of having mold in attics & the possible regrowth over time. I spoke to several professionals and developed a knot in my stomach and felt this was extremely serious. Thankfully, I located Howard, who put our minds at ease with his EXPERT knowledge and experience of testing & remediation. Howard had a clear understanding about "building material" and the proper methodology to use; as building materials falls under a unique category for remediation. Others inspectors told me processes that are actually against IICRC regulations for wood trusses; that Howard took the time to explain to us why they would actually cause more problems if used, due to the location of the wood, and the need for the wood to be able to breathe. Howard explained twice to us and to our son who is helping us; the proper steps to take, the best way to remediate building materials without causing damage to the materials. He advised us how to address our builder, what to discuss, the best practices that would be available to our builder, and above all he made us feel confident, calm and able to approach the matter in a logical and educated way. I can't express enough how relieved we feel. We spoke to our builder and we are going to be able to get Howard (The Mold Inspector) approved to come to our home-site check the process the builder uses, make recommendations if any areas need to be addressed that the builder may miss, and retest afterwards to make sure the truss wood has been thoroughly cleaned. I can't thank Howard enough, so I felt by writing this review it may help him know how appreciative we are and in the process help someone else that may be in the same or similar situation. Like the saying goes passing it forward the help I received in an effort to help someone else is what makes the world a better place. read more
