new to the world of mold and water damage? this is for you!

Author: Andrew Pace March 1, 2025 Duration: 48:26

There is a lot of technical information out there about the inspection and remediation of homes that have been damaged by water intrusion and mold.  Most of it, however, comes from a position of an already established high knowledge base.  Essentially, it's a bunch of smart people trying to sound smarter than the others.  While it all sounds impressive, those who are just dipping in to these topics can become instantly overwhelmed. In this episode, I try to break down the acronyms and pull away the curtain a bit so that the newbies, the neophytes, will stick around to listen and get some real-life recommendations on where to start your journey.  

Should you pay for the full ERMI panel or is the HERTSMI good enough?  How about air testing instead of dust testing?  My friend Bill Weber with AVELAR comes back on the show today to discuss these topics and many more.  If you are a seasoned veteran in this space, this will good refreshed.  But if you're a newbie, this show is for YOU!
