The ERMI Code has been my secret project for the last 6 months. And now it’s finally ready for you. The ERMI Code is an insanely cheap interpretation tool that takes your ERMI result and provides an additional layer of context for what you can expect in your own home (yes!). * How many mold sources to remediate? * How does your home compare to others? * Should you stay or move? These are the quest...

Our bodies and brains are so amazing. They inherently know when we are in danger, or when something is good for us. But for some reason we rarely listen them. So in an effort to try to make us listen, they created that “gut feeling”. This episode shares my theory about trusting your gut, and how you can be more in sync with what your body is trying to tell you. — @MoldFinders Not sure the best way...

I've been getting asked this question a lot lately. If I remediate the moldy building materials, why do I have to clean my house afterwards? Remediation includes 2 phases. > Phase 1: Source Remedaition (Removing walls, ceilings, etc. where mold was found growing) > Phase 2: Home Cleanse (Cleaning the entire home from cross contamination) Most people only want to do phase 1. Heck, many remediation...

I’m reading the book called “Read People Like a Book”. I’ve always thought it was super interesting to understand why people do the things they do. Well in the FIRST chapter my mind was blown! Why? Because I leaned exactly why several of my clients (or their family members) dismiss or diminish the effect mold has on their lives, and what we can do to help them “see the light”! Does that sound like...
