The Mold Challenge

An old friend, co-worker and partner is now in the Mold Remediation business with another old friend and co-worker.

Following is a Press Release that he forwarded to MyBlogAgency and we felt warranted posting for review by our readers; especially, those challenged by mold.

Two Companies Awarded 2005 Mold Help
Seal of Approval

2005 Mold Help Awards Seal of Approval to Global Prevention Services and American Environmental Group

Within a few months of the announcement of the Prestigious Mold Help Evaluation Program, we are proud to announce that we have selected our first two companies to receive the prestigious Mold Help Seal of Approval.

In the initial process of the Mold Help Organization non-biased evaluation process, we concurred that their 2005 frontrunners for our Inspection and Remediation categories are therefore rewarded to two companies who have surpassed the MH standards with flying colors and have been awarded the Mold Help Seal of Approval; one for remediation/prevention, the other for inspection/moisture management.

The first company, GPS (Global Prevention Services), has passed rigid product laboratory testing, IAQ interviews, customer feedback, and experience over accreditations, ethical standards, and superior customer service. They provide prevention and remediation for mold problems that have been proven to cause permanent neurological, psychological, immunological, and pathological damage in some cases. This mission statement of Global Prevention Services is to provide an affordable, non-evasive, microbial abatement treatment for the prevention of mold in personal and business environments. Global Prevention Services, (GPS) has surpassed our expectations in mold remediation and prevention. Mold Help, who has the highest standards in the world for determining non-biased third-party evaluations, determined that this company is a 'true benefit" to our consumers.

Mold Help conducts ratings on the following criteria; education, job experience, high performance within industry standards, pertinent accreditations, value and laboratory product analysis.

The second company to receive our Mold Help Seal of Approval in the category of Inspection/Testing is The American Environmental Group, with three offices in the southern California community. We are proud to award our Seal of Approval to this company that is a total environmental testing/Inspection Company who also specializes in moisture management, toxicology, expert testimony, and a total spectrum of environmental testing. Their website is listed under the services categories.

American Environmental Group's (AEG) mission is to surpass the industry's most stringent expectations and to continually be recognized as one of the premier environmental firms in the dynamic world of Industrial Hygiene/Health and Safety while maintaining our superior reputation amongst our clients.

For a complete article and write-up on our independent evaluation, please go to our MH Approved Services, under California, and you will find their rating/evaluation. The evaluation process, which took over two months to complete, has become an overwhelming success. Unlike any other organizations, Mold Help has no conflict of interest, as nominees pay no money to be featured on the site for the year of approval and the evaluation/awardees process is extremely thorough. Soon, this site will become an international resource for highly ethical companies who share the same values of efficacy and high standards.

The success stems from the Mold Help website, www.mold-help.org, which has been the highest ranked website in the world for current information, resources, education, scientific documentation, and solutions to mold problems. Mold Help is also currently conducting cutting edge medical studies to assist the public with health issues with our network of scientists.

"The remediation category is rated a little bit differently," states Chris Rad, Mold Help's IAQ Expert for remediation ratings. "Unless we have a longstanding relationship with the particular remediation company, we generally rate them (the remediation company) with two stars, if they pass all of our stringent standards." Mold Help will be anxious to hear consumer feedback to assist in maintaining ratings, improvements, and consumer advocacy recommendations. "This two star rating is not a negative reflection by any means; in all actuality it is a compliment." Mold Help has exceedingly high standards and passing our standards demonstrates superiority in many ways."

The Mold help Organization, the largest consumer advocacy and intervention group for mold issues has created the only program of its kind to assist consumers in making educated decisions regarding fully approved, investigated, tested, and analyzed environmental testing/inspection, moisture management, fungicide, resistant, or coating products, and remediation companies.

Since there are no governmental regulations in these industries, basically anyone can become so called 'certified" in inspection, moisture management, and/or remediation. Businesses are taking advantage of this by offering absurd and outrageously expensive 'programs" that make consumer scams appear, in our opinion, as a understatement, in the opinion of the Mold Help panel of experts.

'We receive numerous complaints about inexperienced so called 'testing" inspectors or totally inconclusive results, products who make claims to 'abate mold" that are totally ineffective, and in some cases cause more problems than anything, remediation companies who have no experience, and that doesn't even compare to the alleged impropriety, theft, sexual misconduct, and bait and switch tactics we receive complaints about," states Susan Lillard-Roberts, national spokeswoman for the Mold Help Organization. 'The background check and initial company investigation has scared off many companies we never accept anyways. This separates the ethical from the questionable and we are the first of this type to allow such comprehensive evaluations."

Due to ensuing complaints from consumers who had dealt with so called 'certified" mold 'professionals," Mold Help urges you to select only Mold Help Approved Resources. There is no cost for finding an approved resource, and in this respect, you, the consumer, can find, honest, ethical resources who have been thoroughly investigated for all so common, yet dubious conflicts of interest, analyzed for cost effectiveness, inspected for experience, 'accreditations," and ability to conduct the best job possible.

Since Mold Help is a long established agency, we have formed a superlative entire alliance with many experts who share our values for ethics and superior performance. Due to our large network, we have become the leading authority on determining non-biased, third party evaluations in the indoor air quality industry and advise thousands of consumers each day on concise, cost-effective and effective methods.

Mold Help is solely based upon assisting the public on ethics and non-biased recommendations to the public with no costs or "membership" fees. Mold Help is currently in the process of evaluating several inspection, moisture management, remediation, and products companies. They regularly inspect so called dubious 'certifications" that really mean little to nothing for the consumer. Mold Help will continue to offer independently evaluated services and products to consumers in an effort to eliminate alleged fraud, improprieties, and ineffectual products and services aimed at consumer ignorance.
Mold Help will continue to investigate, inspect, and independently evaluate mold problems and how to deal with them in an effective and ethical manner. Please contact us if we can be of assistance in any way whatsoever.
