“We’re happy to bring the National Mold Proof Network to the Chicago and Tinley Park area. We love living and working with homeowners and businesses in Illinois and are committed to making life healthier for folks here in Chicago.”
The “M” word oftentimes incites fear and even paranoia in the hearts and minds of otherwise reasonable individuals. The real estate and property insurance industries are filled with business professionals that do not like to even utter the four-letter word “M-O-L-D”. Sadly, there are a few so-called “mold professionals” within our own industry that purposely cause fear and anxiety in order to capitalize on parents’ efforts to protect the health of their children, employers’ efforts to protect the welfare of their employees and customers, and any property owners’ efforts to protect their real estate investments.
In many states there are still no regulations, standards or licensing of mold professional companies. Unfortunately some mold professionals themselves have legitimized the concern that it is a conflict of interest for a mold company to test for mold, find evidence of Unacceptable Fungal Ecology, and then provide mold remediation. Many believe that correctly detecting mold somehow disqualifies a company from providing the remediation for that same mold.
Some companies make claims that are unethical and impossible to achieve. We at Mold Pro never promise a “mold-free” environment. As knowledgeable mold professionals we clearly educate our clients that our objective can only be to achieve Acceptable Fungal Ecology. Mold has been adversely affecting building structures and human health for millennia. All we can do is kill and remove colonies/sources inside the structure, and establish good air quality comparable to the outdoor air.
We do not serve customers. We serve clients! Once someone procures our services, we join them in their concerns and desire to rid themselves of mold issues and not to have to revisit them in the future. They know that we are “in the boat” with them. Their problem has become ours. We listen. We educate. We provide reasonable and effective solutions. We do it all at affordable prices because most of our clients have not included mold testing, inspections and remediation costs in their annual or monthly budgets.
We at Mold Pro have at our very core, an ethical standard based on The Golden Rule: We do unto others what we would have them do unto us! We treat our clients just as we would treat our dearest relatives. Our assessments, testing procedures, inspections and recommendations for remediation are conducted in a way that would be consistent as if we were conducting those same services for our own mothers and fathers.
