Describe an inspection that you are particularly proud of: (Specifics on mold issue, Client relationship, What was rewarding about it).

In 2015 I was assigned to conduct a mold inspection for the purposes of developing a mold remediation protocol, at a luxury hotel in Austin, Texas. All of the guest rooms and many common areas on the 1st floor in the six floor hotel experienced water damage that was introduced into the wall cavities on the exterior and demising walls of the guest rooms. Subsequently mold growth was discovered when the restoration company was called in to expeditiously remove all the wet Building materials before mold starts to grow. THIs is a losing battle, because in South Texas mold will grow in 3 days if the wet materials are not dried out aggressively. This job ended being a multimillion dollar project for my client. Who did not hire a project manager consultant to manage the coordination between the restoration company the insurance adjustors and their mold consultants and me. Oh, yes they brought in their own mold consultant to check on my work because they were paying the claim, so they wanted to make sure that what I was recommending was accurate. My Client allowed the hotel manager to do this coordination. The reason that this is the highlight of my career is because I was able to convince all the parties involved that my fulltime presence was essential, so they paid me to be onsite for three months straight, because I helped the project progress quickly, being Onsite, ready to conduct assessments and clearances immediately.

Why should a prospective client choose you to perform their mold inspection?

Because of my experience in conducting over 1,000 residential and commercial mold inspections. I have seen the worst cases scenarios and have experience in dealing with clients directly and with insurance companies. I have testified in court as an expert witness because my clients have sued for payment of claims or have been sued. I have been asked to explain my mold inspection results. I had a wealthy client that manages high end hotel and resort properties. I conducted 4 mold inspections at four of their properties in the Dallas, Texas area in 2015. They had two insurance carriers on their properties, the insurance would only pay them 25% of all the millions of mold remediation and rebuilding that occurred in 2015. They sued. I was contacted by their lawyers because my name and license was on the mold Remediation Protocols for four of the properties.The lawyer for client called me a week after my testimony informing me that the insurance companies decided to settle out of court with my client. I just don’t like bullies even if they are bullying a wealthy client.
