Mycotoxin remediation specialists who travel to you

Mycotoxin remediation from a distance

What makes mycotoxin work different

Mold is alive. Mycotoxins are not. They’re stable chemical compounds that some molds produce, and they stay behind in settled dust, porous materials and belongings after the mold itself is dead. That’s why a job built to kill mold can look finished and still leave the toxins in place.

Removing them takes two things done together: physically removing the materials and dust that carry them, and breaking down what’s left on framing, subfloors and hard-to-reach surfaces. Then it takes testing to prove it worked. Our guide to mycotoxins in homes covers the science in more depth.

When a doctor is part of the picture

Most of the families who ask us to travel are working with a doctor who has connected their health to the house. That changes the project in three practical ways:

• The target is set before we start. We ask which test the doctor will be reading and what result they want to see, and clearance measures that.
• The scope is wider. Whole-home dust, the HVAC system and contents are part of the plan, not optional extras.
• The family’s living arrangements shape the schedule. Many families stay elsewhere during the work. Some need one room cleared first so they have somewhere clean to return to.

We stay on the building side of every decision. Your doctor makes the medical calls, and our page on working with your doctor on a moldy home explains how that coordination works.

Questions to ask any traveling specialist

If you’re comparing companies willing to travel, including us, these questions separate specialists from generalists who happen to have a van:

• Do you test for mycotoxins before and after every job?
• Will you test to my doctor’s target, and what happens if clearance doesn’t meet it?
• Does your scope include whole-home dust removal and the HVAC system?
• How will you protect rooms we’re still using?
• Do you give a written scope and price before travel is booked?
• What products will you use, and why those?

About the enzymes we use

For our part, we use plant-based enzyme products designed to break down mold and mycotoxins. Enzymes are one step of the method, alongside removal, HEPA cleaning and clearance testing, and they don’t replace removing materials that can’t be saved or fixing the moisture. You can read more on our enzyme mold remediation page.

Preparing from a distance

If you’ve already moved out, or you’re staying elsewhere, a few things make the project go more smoothly. Arrange access to the house for the testing visit and the work dates. Ask before changing how the HVAC system runs in an empty house, since shutting it off can let humidity climb in some climates. Hold off on moving belongings between the house and where you’re staying until there’s a plan for cleaning them. And gather any past reports, repair records and photos so they’re ready for the consultation.

When the project is finished

You’ll receive the complete clearance lab reports alongside the baseline results, so the change is easy to see and easy to share with your doctor. From there, keeping the home clean is about moisture and dust. Our guide to preparing a home for mold illness recovery covers the first months after clearance.

We remove mold and mycotoxins from buildings. We don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions, and nothing on this page is medical advice. Please make health decisions, including whether and when to return to a home, with your doctor. With your permission, we’re glad to share test results and our plan with them.
