As a result, Brandon has successfully built one of the most admired mold and specialty inspection and testing organizations in six states, served as a role model for his teams, mentored and guided staff on their path to success, and negotiated strong business relationships."

Mold Inspection Sciences Texas Warns Consumers Against Unlicensed Remediation Efforts Amid Disaster Cleanup

AUSTIN, Texas -- On February 12, 2021, Texas Governor Abbott issued a disaster declaration following the severe winter storm that caused damage statewide. Mold Inspection Sciences Texas recommends that consumers pay close attention to this announcement as it allows out-of-state and unlicensed mold assessment and remediation contractors to obtain temporary registration and to perform mold remediation and material removal on storm-damaged properties.

"Repairs and cleanup have just begun," says Mold Inspection Sciences Texas Chief Operating Officer Mike Marshall. "Texans need to be aware that you don't want just anyone addressing a potential mold issue. You must seek out someone who is licensed and qualified.

"We've seen this happen before. Six, eight, twelve months down the road, state-licensed mold assessors and remediators come back to find 'fixed' properties worse off than they were from the initial damage. Our team specifically is still addressing the same type of issues from Hurricane Harvey in 2017!"

To help keep consumers safe, Mold Inspection Sciences Texas recommends that consumers:

* Start drying out their properties as soon as possible and get in touch with qualified water mitigation professionals if needed.

* If mold is suspected, find a licensed assessment company. Consumers who do not use licensed mold professionals will not be able to receive a protocol for next steps to solve a mold issue. Nor will they be able to obtain a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation proving their property has been deemed safe.

* Utilize the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation to confirm the license status of potential contractors by visiting https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/licensesearch/.

"Mold and water damage are issues Texans continue to face, given our state's recent history with devastation from Mother Nature," Marshall adds, "and people are being taken advantage of."

Mold Inspection Sciences Texas and Blackmon Mooring and BMS CAT Collaborations Deliver New Mold Response Efficiencies

AUSTIN, Texas -- "The Secret Life of Mold," a podcast released by Mold Inspection Sciences Texas, recently sat down with Robby Jackson, general manager of Blackmon Mooring & BMS CAT Austin, to discuss the solution for a more efficient response to mold.

"Mold remediation is the process of treating mold-contaminated areas, effectively stopping, reducing, and repairing the growth of mold," said Jackson. "Mold needs warmth, moisture, and food. Anytime there is a water loss, it needs to be dealt with immediately. It only takes 48 to 72 hours for mold to become present."

"Not enough people know that mold assessments and remediation are two different processes that should be kept separate and professionally handled," he said. "However, when used in a collaborative effort, they can help solve a mold issue much more comprehensively."

So what makes this relationship so much more efficient? According to Jackson, it's the checks and balances, the open lines of communication, and having that unique detection expertise available while the restoration is in process.

"During mold inspections valuable data is collected, so assessment and remediation can successfully work together," says guest co-host and Mold Inspection Sciences Texas Chief Operating Officer Mike Marshall. "Investigating, collecting samples, and laboratory testing is the only way to know for sure what type of mold is present, how much mold is present, and how it may be impacting the indoor environment."

"That is how we know for sure that we are properly containing, cleaning, and restoring impacted areas," Jackson adds. "Without a scope of work, we are left to assumptions."

"That open line of communication with a consultant and a partner like Mold Inspection Sciences Texas is critical in that type of transition, if necessary. And we've done that on quite a few occasions with unbelievable success."

Mold Inspection Sciences Texas Announces the New Investment of FLIR E6 Infrared Camera Technology to Expand Testing Capabilities and Help Consumers Live Healthier Lives

AUSTIN, Texas -- Mold Inspection Sciences Texas (MISTX) today announces the rollout of FLIR E6 Infrared Cameras across all Mold Inspection Sciences Texas service areas. The introduction of this advanced, non-invasive technology allows MISTX field teams to zero in on and identify potential sources of moisture during testing and sampling investigations.

The FLIR E6 has both a thermal and a visible camera that are used together to produce the patented FLIR image enhancement, called Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging, or MSX(R). By enhancing thermal with visible details, the camera produces crisper imagery and greater perspective on the scene. It helps users immediately identify the area of moisture intrusion and more effectively execute home and commercial building mold inspections.

"The FLIR E6 is an essential tool for providing a more accurate diagnosis of a moisture problem hidden between walls - really identifying what lies beneath," says Mike Marshall, Director of Operations of MISTX. "With our testing methods already perfected, the E6 is an excellent addition to help better detect hidden moisture and mold problems."

MISTX will offer FLIR E6 infrared camera inspections as a part of its mold inspection and testing services. This integration will help MISTX streamline processes and procedures, and provide inspectors with an even more definitive understanding of mold and moisture problems. This in turn allows them to make conclusions and recommendations for action, if needed, on the spot, improving overall efficiency.

"The FLIR E6 thermal camera is an important inspection tool for professionals, and we are pleased it was chosen by Mold Inspection Sciences Texas," said Richard Wexler, Director of Marketing at FLIR. "Using thermal imaging, Mold Inspection Sciences Texas can help reveal problems that were once invisible. At the same time, the company's technicians will be able to provide visual proof of the issues they find.

"That's a huge benefit to customers who are considering whether to begin remediation. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with Mold Inspection Sciences Texas in enabling its important mission to help consumers live in healthier and safer conditions."
