Review fromMichelle B
Date: 01/23/2023
A 1 came to our house and told us that he has worked with lots of CIRS patients. So I thought he would know that living in a house with active water damage or old water damage would be detrimental to our health. We already had an ERMI test and an HERTSMI report done. He told us that the testing didn't mean anything and that our house was fine and that I am the sick one, not my house. Then he charged us $260.00 for a call and really wasn't willing to do any remediation. Please don't tell people that you understand CIRS if you really, don't.

Ms. ******,
I am sorry that you are not satisfied with the service provided. However, contrary to your review, I do understand CIRS very well and have had several clients that have suffered from it. You could probably call 5 more remediation companies and they wouldn't even know what it even stands for. In your particular case and in anyone's case, the ERMI test is not a diagnostic tool and does not clearly represent if you have a "mold problem" in your home. Below you will see a statement directly from the EPA's website. I also included a link that you can follow to better educate yourself on the ERMI test. Water damage in your home does not mean that you have a microbial issue. In some cases, it will lead to an issue but the area has to stay wet for a period of time to develop growth.
I could have sold you on a mold fogging (which doesn't work) or remediation services of some sort, but I do not believe that you have a mold issue within your home. I sympathize with health issues and wish that I had a definitive answer for you as to why you are sick, however, it was my professional opinion that NO remediation company could provide you any remediation service that would make your home safer or healthier.
"Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI)
The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) is a research tool developed by EPA scientists for estimating mold contamination. Researchers can use the index to estimate the amount of mold and some of the types of mold present. ERMI has been peer reviewed for research purposes but has not been validated for non-research purposes."
Follow this link for information directly off the EPA's website: *************************************************************** *************
Hope that this helps shed some light on my position of my recommendations.
