Condominiums and townhomes with shared walls can have a real legal problem. The condo owner owns what is contained inside the interior walls. That means the void between two adjoining units is technically owned by neither one, and if mold is growing inside it, what then? It’s likely the responsibility of the homeowners association that owns the common areas. That can become a real can of worms. If a very mold sensitive person lives on one side of that common wall, and the person on the other side doesn’t any issues, then that person and the HOA might both refuse to do anything to help the situation. It might even require to legal action to resolve it. It can also create questions of who is at fault, since this often happens because of a plumbing leak on
one side or the other, but that may be really tough to prove, especially if the leak happened before the current owners got the property. If you live in a condo or a townhouse, and suspect there might be mold inside the shared wall, give us a call.

A bit of Good Friday philosophy for you: If you're 37... Instead of regretting that you can't wake up age 18 again, pretend to yourself that you're 90 and you've woken up age 37 again, and that you get to magically, wonderfully have the next 50 years again."
That’s kind of like resurrection to a new life, right? (Bonus: you didn’t have to die a horrible death to get it!)

Hey, PM family, I had a long talk yesterday with Tom Higgins at Goldshield. They have some exciting new developments happening, which may present a chance for us to be of great service to humanity, far beyond treating mold.

The avian flu epidemic is an enormous threat to the entire world, and the situation is rapidly worsening. The scope of this threat is really not widely appreciated yet. The news is currently filled with a huge amount of noise about the new American presidential administration, but all of that will very soon be eclipsed by the realities of this new pandemic. Politics will have little to do with it, other than to impact how we and other nations respond.

The current news on this topic is most focused on the increasing price of eggs and chicken, and now on dairy farm production (where the virus actually originated) and the economic impacts on both the producers and consumers. I believe that will soon prove to be a drop in the bucket. The much bigger news is that the virus has now infected wild birds, and may also come to infect other wildlife. The impact of this will certainly be vast. Consider, for just one thing among many, how birds are largely responsible for controlling mosquito populations, and many other insects as well. Mosquitos are not just an annoying nuisance at your backyard BBQ. They are one of the greatest disease transmitters among animals, including humans. Their proliferation alone may create threats to life beyond our ability to imagine. The proliferation of other insects, such as crop destroying locusts, may literally cause mass starvation. If this sounds "alarmist" to you, you're right, it is.

Now, what can we do about it? I for one am going to look into using the PM process to treat animal raising and food production facilities. Chicken houses and processing plants will be a good start. (We can't do much, that I can see, about the wild birds, other than pray for them and for all the animals on earth, humans included. That will just be what it will be.)

Shifting focus to food production as an added service may be one of the greatest business opportunities I have seen since coming into this business. More importantly, it could also be our greatest opportunity ever to serve humanity. I can easily see it being "the sideshow that takes over the circus." Remember how the PM process began as a method to sterilize hospital operating rooms? Perhaps Mike Adams can provide a bit more history that may be relevant on that. If what we do can sterilize operating rooms, it ought to work on food production facilities. Not so sure about things like chicken houses, but I plan to find out.

I can't seem to attach the files Tom at Goldshield sent me, but if you reply to this post or message me with your email address I will email them to you.

After several months of frustration with homeadvisor, we finally decided to stop using their system. (I will not dignify what they do with the word service.)  we have been unable to get on their website, get information from them, and effectively return phone calls. Their frontline customer service reps acknowledge it’s their system having problems which are causing this, but tell me there is nothing they can do about it, and that HomeAdvisor a.k.a. Angi Leads will not be giving us any credits of any sort.  the representative I spoke to confirmed that, Yes, the home advisor system is designed to take money from contractors like us and not return it, regardless of whether it works for us as promised. This company has become a first rate ripoff, in my experience.  As I promised their rep I would, I am doing everything I can to spread the word about how they operate.  happy new year, everybody, and I expect you can make it a better one by ditching Angi.

Went out to Yancey county yet to check up on some friends and the devastation in some places there is off the chain! So glad my friends came through safely though many others didn’t.

And along came the wind, after days of torrential rain, bringing down lots of trees. Fortunately, all of ours Stephen Place, many of our friends and family and neighbors not so lucky.

Crawlspace encapsulation = mold prevention.

What is crawlspace encapsulation? It is a process of sealing and insulating the crawlspace under a house to protect it from moisture and outside elements. At NoMoldWNC, we find that over half of the mold problems we see originate in crawl spaces due to moisture intrusion through the foundation walls. This creates chronically high moisture levels, and an environment where mold growth is going to happen – no ifs, ands, or buts. This can also cause other problems, including wood rot, other structural problems, and attract pests, especially rodents.

Here's how crawlspace encapsulation relates to mold prevention:
Moisture Control: Crawlspace encapsulation involves covering the crawlspace floor and walls with a v***r barrier, typically made of polyethylene. We use 8-12 mil. Reinforced v***r barriers, a top of the line product. This barrier helps prevent moisture from the ground entering the crawlspace. Excess moisture is a key factor in mold growth, so by stopping moisture intrusion, you reduce the likelihood of mold development.
Ventilation: Encapsulation includes sealing off vents in the crawlspace. This prevents outside air, which may be humid, from entering the crawlspace.
Dehumidifier: At NoMoldWNC we always install high quality, commercial grade permanent dehumidifiers specifically designed for crawl spaces, with a 5 year warranty. They are drained to the outside – no emptying water tanks.
Temperature Regulation: Encapsulation also helps regulate temperature in the crawlspace. Mold thrives in warm and humid environments. By encapsulating the crawlspace, you create a more controlled and less favorable environment for mold growth.
Insulation: Crawlspace encapsulation may include adding insulation to the crawlspace walls. Proper insulation helps maintain stable temperatures and further reduces the risk of condensation, which can contribute to mold growth.
Regular Inspection: While encapsulation is effective in preventing moisture-related issues, it's important to conduct regular inspections.
Remote monitoring: We offer wifi enabled remote humidity monitors, which alert you if the humidity goes about a preset limit, possibly due to problems with the dehumidifier functioning.
If you're dealing with an existing mold problem in your crawlspace, it's crucial to address the mold issue first before encapsulating the crawlspace. Mold remediation may involve cleaning and removing the existing mold, and once that is done, encapsulation can be a proactive measure to prevent future mold growth.
The NoMoldWNC encapsulation team does the best crawlspace encapsulation work in the area, at a very competitive price point. It’s often a part of a comprehensive mold solution. Get in touch and we will schedule a free consultation and estimate for it and all of you mold remediation needs.
