Is Your HomeMaking You Sick?
Standard mold surveys only look at visible walls. Watch how unseen airborne mycotoxins enter the lungs and bloodstream — and why Jeff Charlton's 35-year forensic protocol uncovers what doctors and building surveyors miss.
Why You MUST Watch This Video Before Treating Mold
If you suffer from chronic fatigue, brain fog, unexplained lung irritation, or recurring headaches, simply wiping mold off the wall with bleach releases billions of toxic spores directly into your breathing zone.

What Do You Need Help Understanding?
Whether you've just discovered mold, received a laboratory report, are considering remediation or simply want to understand what's happening inside a building, start with the subject that matters to you.
I Found Mold
You've just discovered visible mold. Understand what it may indicate, what to consider next and why appearance alone rarely tells the whole story.
Mold & Health
Explore evidence and expert information about damp buildings, mold exposure, indoor environmental conditions and health-related concerns.
Mold Testing
Understand air sampling, surface sampling, dust testing, ERMI, HERTSMI-2, laboratory reports and the limitations of different testing methods.
Mold Remediation
Learn about containment, removal, cleaning, moisture correction, verification and why simply treating visible mold may not solve the underlying problem.
Mycotoxins
Understand what mycotoxins are, where they can occur and why environmental findings require careful interpretation.
Indoor Air Quality
Explore mold within the wider indoor environment, including moisture, particles, VOCs, biological contaminants and other factors affecting indoor air.
Mold Is Often the Symptom.
Moisture Is the Clue.
Finding visible mold doesn't necessarily tell you why it developed, how far a problem extends or what needs to happen next.
Indoor mold growth generally requires excess moisture. Understanding where that moisture came from — and whether the underlying condition has actually been corrected — is an important part of understanding the building.
Talking Mold helps you look beyond what's visible and understand the wider environmental picture.
Find the Moisture
Where is excess moisture entering, forming or remaining within the building?
Understand the Environment
What conditions are allowing microbial growth or other environmental problems to develop?
Solve the Cause
Cleaning visible mold without understanding the underlying conditions may leave the real problem unresolved.

"Jeff came to view my property, which was full of mold. The investigation by Jeff was thorough, and he took his time to do all the proper testing. His report goes into over 100 pages and everything is tested properly. He was very responsive on email and his expertise dealing with my insurance company was a huge bonus."

Residential Homeowner — Insurance Claim Case
"Jeff inspected a property for me and gave a comprehensive report on mold and toxic issues. He has very detailed knowledge in this area, which is very difficult to find in this country. Recently I got advice from him on another property with water damage — his advice has been invaluable. I recommend Jeff especially to anyone immune compromised!"

"Jeff came to help us find the source of our mold problem after 2 years of suffering with chronic lung issues at the hands of mold related illness. His knowledge is absolutely astounding and he really cares about helping people. The survey report was super detailed and prompt. I can't recommend Jeff highly enough!"

Confused by Mold
Testing or Lab Reports?
Air sampling. Surface sampling. Dust testing. ERMI. HERTSMI-2. Mycotoxins. Different tests measure different things — and a number on a laboratory report rarely tells the entire story by itself.
What was tested?
How was it sampled?
What does the result mean?
What doesn't it tell you?
What should you consider next?
Talking Mold helps explain what different environmental tests are designed to measure, their limitations and how findings fit into the wider context of a building.
