Need help sorting out the mold problem

[mama2alex]

I've known since winter that we probably have a mold issue in our house. Every time I try to figure out what to do about this, I seemed to get nowhere. I get bogged down in reading, can't figure out who to call to identify where the mold is, start thinking we should wait until we start our remodel (which keeps getting pushed out), etc. I think my brain just can't wrap around this one or something. Admittedly, I'm brain-fogged and in pain, not to mention very busy. So I'm hoping you all can help me. What is the process for getting it out? I want to do it now, not wait for the remodel. I don't want to do it myself - I want to hire someone who really knows what they're doing. How can I find that in my area? This seems like it should be easy, but I just haven't been able to tackle it, and its making me really nervous. We're in the San Francisco Bay Area. Please help!

Did you ever send in your ERMI tests?

 

I had a mold inspector come out- owner of the company, holy cow was it thorough! I thought I was a good housekeeper until this guy went through every nook and cranny.

 

I got the recommendation from the CA Lyme board- we used a company called 'Bay Mold'

they work throughout the bay area, and even up where we are-

 

They did find 1 item in the garage, under our water heater, and they had their crew come in and fix/replace the area safely and correctly.

I thought it was a very honest and helpful company.

 

Also, they gave us a ton of ideas for future prevention.

Yes, we had the ERMI tests done. They showed indoor mold levels that are too high. Bay Mold sounds good - good Yelp reviews too. Thanks for the recommendation.
