The Homeowner's Guide to Mold

Did learn a lot from this book, what to look for and what to do to resolve it.

Our family purchased a home with a covered up mold problem that went unnoticed during the inspection, appraisal, realtor and purchasing process. We have purchased several other books before this one. This one is the best for the money without hiring a Certified Industrial Hygienist.If we would have known what is written on these pages for the mere $21.95, we could have saved ourselves much time, money, our health and nerves. The book is categorized very nicely. The author and publisher really made this very informative, educational and it seems to be a labor of love.

Should have some help with ebook formating to make it easier to read.

I heard this author on a program on the radio. Is very knowledgable about toxic black mold as he has his own business and cleans infested houses himself. Everything in this book that you would want to know about toxic black mold and how to tell the difference between toxic black mold and other types of mold. Great book!!

I bought this book to help out my sister with a mold problem. This book sounded just like one "expert" who quoted $7000 that did not even include all recommended repairs. Another inspector was brought in and took samples which were sent to an accredited biological test lab and based on the particular species involved was comfortable only reccomending less $1200 in redmisiation and repairs. The only thing not included was a new coat of paint which we were going to do anyway.The use of scare tactics is rife in this business.

Outstanding information that we all can apply to rid our homes and businesses of deadly and dangerous mold.The solutions are ones that can be easily appliedDr Robin Falkov[...]

Vsry informative worth it

I feel their was little information on homeowner remediation of mold. The information on how mold gets started was common sense, or readily known. All this information is readily available on the web for free.
