Certificants of the American Council for Accredited Certification

In accordance with the American Council for Accredited Certification code of ethics, we investigate and test for mold only; we do not remove or remediate mold, nor do we have any financial relationship with remediation companies, real estate, or insurance companies.

Based on our inspection we will refer you to ACAC certified mold remediation companies that will provide you with a FREE estimate for safe mold removal based on our written report.

You can be assured, therefore, that we have no financial incentive to find mold in order to charge extra fees for mold abatement or sell you air cleaning products that have not been verified by scientific research.

Beware of “mold” remediation companies / “mold experts” that offer to both test and remediate mold problems, or sell you high price air cleaners and other products; these sales tactics are considered a conflict of interest in our profession. Unfortunately, there are companies that are using scare tactics to charge unwarranted fees for mold testing or remediation that may be based on non-existent mold contamination and healths care claims.

Be sure to investigate all “mold” company claims with past customers, your physician, and the only accredited professional certification association for mold inspectors; ACAC.

Mold intervention is a scientific work in progress, beware of individuals that claim to have unproven and non-scientific interventions such as duct cleaning, mold dogs, ozone treatments, heat treatments, miracle mold killing solutions, or biocides.

With lax or nonexistent government regulations in California, only a few of these problem companies have been fined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Certificants of the American Council for Accredited Certification

We conduct a mold investigation and testing only. It is a conflict of interest, as well as a code of ethics violation, for mold inspectors to bid on remediation or repairs related to mold. Beware of companies that are not ACAC Certified and or offer to inspect, test, and conduct remediation for mold. We will be happy to refer you to a qualified ACAC Certified mold remediation company in the area that will use our written findings to give you a mold remediation quote.

There is currently no regulation of the mold industry in California that will help prevent unqualified and less-than-honest companies from arriving at your doorstep.

I had a severe water leak due to my bathroom not being waterproofed correctly which caused moisture and mold issues. Joseph and Demi provided me with the reports I needed in order to hold my contractor liable for his faulty work. They were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to help us through this unfortunate problem. This company is among the very few of certified professionals that is approved for legal court documentation requirements.

We had to get tested in our commerical property! They came recommended and we are glad we called them! They were knowledgeable, honest, and thorough. We are so grateful they helped us make sure our kids building was safe and catch the wrong work done to take away our mold. Thank you so much ! Pasadena Foursqaure Church

Our family recently underwent a mold remediation process, which was quite unpleasant. It left us feeling sick and anxious about the possibility of going through it again, especially if we hired a company that didn’t take the time to do the job properly. We realized that air samples alone are not enough to ensure safety! We want to thank Joe for being thorough with his testing, as it provided our family with true peace of mind. We will definitely be using his services again in the near future for more testing and clearance. Thank you!

I recently used GPMI to inspect my home for mold after noticing a musty smell in our Newport North/ Irvine Company home. Joseph and his team were incredibly professional and thorough. As we feared and suspected, abnormal and high levels of MOLS SPORES for the following organisms throughout our Irvine Company home: Aspergillus Penicillium, Chaetomium and Stachybotrys.

They provided a detailed report with their findings, which we relayed to our Attorneys. Without this report and PROOF this property made us ill, the Irvine Company would continue to gaslight and say there "were zero issues with the unit." I would highly recommend them to anyone concerned with potential mold in their home.

GPMI is absolutely wonderful! They are one of the many reasons I am still alive today. After years of chasing my tail, wondering what was causing all sorts of health issues, my naturopath told me to consider environmental factors within the place I was renting. Western medicine was of no help, so I was at my wit's end. I started doing the research and was blessed to find Joe Hernandez and his company. He listened intently to my health issues and concerns. He was so great at being a straight shooter and offering advise on how to go about this. After he conducted the inspection, he provided me with an in-depth report, which provided me with the information I needed to make empowered decisions. I will forever be indebted to him and his team for the wonderful care and service.
