"Mike at Mold One was incredibly helpful. He gave me great information and lined up an appointment quickly for mold remediation. My wife has struggled literally her entire life with being sick and unwell and having chronic headaches and fatigue and poor sleep and mood swings and food allergies and the list goes on. We've been to countless doctors, bought countless supplements, tried several diets, done allergy testing, been to chiropractors, done hormone replacement therapy, etc. We recently found mold in our home and began looking into mold as a possible cause for her poor health. All of a sudden, things started lining up. Mold sickness symptoms are myriad, so nearly any symptoms could fit under mold sickness as a possible cause. We did a TON of research, found Mold One, did more research on their paracetic acid dry fog technique and found research articles from 3rd party labs supporting the effectiveness as well as safety of the procedure. My wife was pregnant at the time of treatment, so we wanted to be 100% sure that the treatment would be safe for her and for our baby and other young children. Once we were satisfied with the safety of the process, we hired Mold One and they had us lined up within the week. We only had to be out of our home for about 5 hours for the process. Upon returning, there was a faint vinegar smell in the house. My wife slept better that night than she ever had, and within 2 days, she was feeling SO MUCH BETTER. In fact, over the coming days/weeks, even though she was 8 months pregnant, she felt better then that she or I ever remember her being. She had energy, her mood was better, she slept better and needed less sleep. This was truly miraculous. We had tested the house for mycotoxins through Mycometrics prior to hiring mold one and found very high levels of Aspergillus. About a month after the mold treatment, my wife did a urinalysis through Great Plains Lab for mycotoxins and she was off the charts for Aspergillus. The body can take up to several years of detox to get all that out of the system, so no surprise that a month later it wasn't all gone. This was just proof that that mycotoxin was present at very high levels in her body as well as our home. And here's another shout out to the customer service and generosity of Mike and Mold One. About 2 months after the mold treatment, I was working on replacing my roof. A micro-storm came out of nowhere while I had the roof open and absolutely SOAKED everything. We had water dripping through the light fixtures inside and huge water spots showing all over our ceilings. This was hugely discouraging. After the storm passed, I called Mike and explained the whole thing and asked his advice since now we're a pitri dish for mold. Mike offered to send his guys back out to re-treat our home for free and consider it covered by warranty, even though it would have been easy and obvious to consider this new water damage not covered by warranty. I can't say enough of how great Mold One and Mike have been, and what a life changing impact their mold treatment of our home has had on my wife. Thank God that he led us to this solution for my family's health."

"The company sent a packet with instructions to provide samples from two sites. We returned these in the Priority envelope provided. Within a few days we received an evaluation of the mold. It does not appear to be a serious problem. I would have graded this work higher if the company had provided general guidelines for remediating the problem. We were relieved to find the problem not serious, but would have appreciated more clarity, such as a simple page outlining safe and unsafe do-it-yourself procedures materials materials. (Suggestions I found online, such as whether to use vinegar, bleach, etc., were sometimes confusing, even contradictory.)"

"They came out quickly and gave us an estimate to remediate mold in our crawlspace. Within a few days they returned to spray and fog under our house. They were very thorough and did testing to make sure that our problem was remedied. Their technician, Lane, was professional and great to work with!"

"I would highly recommend Servpro for duct working cleaning. MY phone encounter gave me basic information and I asked for a call back for full information. The person I needed to speak with was out of the office and I was given a day that he would call me. He called back and answered all my concerns and gave me a detailed explanation on the proceedure. I am asthmatic and had concerns about flying about the house and any residue left over. He assured me that this would not be an issue because the recepticle would be outside. <br /> The arrived at the appointed hour. They where very efficient. Part of the process is to cut a small opening in the duct work to "suck" out the debris and dirt. Unknown to them after they finished an area my husband put his hand in the opening and swept the area in both directions and covered the complete circle of the duct. His hand came out perfectly clean. He is a builder and over saw the process. He was very pleased with their professionalism. You would not have known they had been here. <br /> I would certainly use them again in the future for this project. <br /> Sorry about the delay, I thought I had written this review in the past. <br /> Georgina Gonzalez <br />"

"PuroClean showed up and began immediately to dry the damage floors. They also worked with our insurance company helping them understand the damage caused by the leak in a very short time, like less than a week. They were professional and provided Value for the their work including drying the damp areas from below the floor and above removing the possibility of a mold issue."

FAQs for mold & toxic material test projects in Columbia, MO

Some companies offer a no‑cost phone or video consultation that screens for red flags. If the discussion points to a real issue, the pro will recommend a paid on‑site inspection. The complimentary call clarifies whether you need full testing, but it isn’t a substitute for samples, lab work, or a written report. Always confirm what the free service covers before you schedule.

A standard inspection, which includes basic air and surface samples, takes an average of two hours. If the pro needs to probe hidden spaces, such as wall cavities or ductwork, plan on up to six hours. Extra time allows the inspector to reach tight areas, collect additional samples, and document findings. Lab analysis is a separate process and often adds several business days to the overall timeframe before you receive the full report.

Mold thrives where moisture lingers and air flow is poor. Common hotspots include bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, window sills, HVAC vents, fireplaces, crawl spaces, and enclosed attics. Check these areas regularly—especially after leaks or high‑humidity weather—to catch growth early and avoid costly repairs.

Unchecked mold can knock 20% to 37% off a home’s market value because buyers worry about hidden damage and health risks. Even after remediation, visible staining or a history of major moisture issues can still lower offers and prolong the time on the market. Addressing mold quickly protects both your property’s structural integrity and its resale appeal.
