"I have a family of four that have had moderate to severe health issues of an unknown origin. Several months ago we discovered that the probable source of these health issues is mold in our home. Although our home appeared very clean, DNA testing on dust samples showed very high levels of dangerous molds. Despite numerous inspections, no source of the mold was ever found. We tried a couple of different mold bomb type remediations. Subsequent DNA testing showed no improvement. We hired The Mold Pros to remediate our home. Over two months later we repeated the DNA testing. The results were phenomenal! We shared the information with our infectious disease doctor. He agreed that the TM-100 was completely effecting in resolving our environmental issues."
