Introduction
If you are having symptoms, and don't know what is causing them, the best way to get a look at it, is through the Air Quality and Environmental testing service choice, that is what I'm going to do even if you have a mold problem, to see if you have other issues that may have even caused the mold problem. First and most importantly, I will talk to anybody about their concerns. Even if they can't afford to have me come to their home, I'll give them free advice on how to improve the health and safety of their home and family. If you need free advice, the best way is to go through my company Facebook page. Also, I don't sell mold remediation or removal, the best way to get a holistic look at your home mold and indoor air quality wise, is to go to the Indoor Air Quality inspection service. No matter what your problem, with me you get a Mold, Indoor air Quality and Healthy Home inspection in one. With everyone else, you get a mold inspection, usually with the plan to sell you mold remediation, whether you need it or not. I don't do Lead, Asbestos, or Radon but I can point you to resources that are sometimes free. I do mold testing and inspection, I don't do removal, but I can tell you how to DIY. I do healthy home inspections, moisture, chemical, ventilation, and microbial issues are my specialty. Second, I am motivated by identifying problems, and helping correct them. My philosophy is if I add value to the customers, the rest will take care of itself, including profit. I am available 7am to 9pm Monday - Sunday. Third, I strictly follow the ethical guidelines of my profession, I DO NOT sell solutions. There is no conflict of interest. I gain nothing by scaring the customer into buying a product or service that is not needed, or is something they can do themselves. I regularly am called into homes where a $5000 or $10000 mold remediation has been quoted, and that was not the real cause of the customer's symptoms or problems. If the solution proposed doesn't solve the problem and also prevent recurrence, you are wasting your money. I will tell you what the cause of your issues are, what you can do to resolve it whether that is a DIY project or refer a professional who is certified and a member of reputable professional organizations. With the three things above in mind, I help customers make the best decision with their constraints in time and resources in mind. I cover an area from Western Pennsylvania to Toledo, and Lake Erie down to south of Columbus. Helping people understand how their home or building works, identifying areas where they can make improvements (often at little or no cost), and helping them make their homes/buildings healthier and safer is everything to me. I LOVE finding the cause of vexing problems. Or finding things that no one else can or will find. I love even more hearing back that the customer feels better, and felt supported during the process.

We recently completed a distinctive project in Pittsburgh’s Southside, utilizing Low VOC and No VOC products, primarily focusing on coating systems and natural materials. The project encompassed a range of crafted elements, from hinges and cabinets to doors and flooring sourced from sustainably managed forests. To ensure the client’s safety, we conducted a thorough property assessment, revealing insights into an Italianate Victorian home from the late 1800s, which we customized with an indoor garage tailored to the client’s preferences. Notably, we identified a crawlspace in the basement garage ripe for adaptation to enhance air filtration. This investment proved invaluable, showcasing the potential of our approach and the merit of this gentleman’s services to prospective clients.

Details: No, I don't need to test for any of these issues • Once a month • Central A/C • Residential

Please talk to this man before you talk to anyone else! I hired Tim to come and check my house for mold. He first offered to give me free information over the phone and to walk me through a process of cleanup that I was going through. When he came to the house, he was so courteous and informative and spent a lot of time with us to make sure we knew as much as possible before we made any decisions. I believe him to be a very honest and sincere man and businessman. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone with questions about mold and mold cleanup. His prices were beyond reasonable and his care and attention were 2nd to none. Thank you Tim for all of your help! Dana Cummings
