It’s time to embrace a more healthconscious and eco-friendly approach to mold remediation also incorporating mycotoxin remediation. Mycotoxins, as the name implies, is a toxin byproduct produced by mold. Traditional mold removal often involves the use of harsh chemicals that can be detrimental to humans, especially to those with respiratory issues, allergies, or serious medical conditions, such as cancer and those experiencing ongoing health issues. Adopting greener and more sustainable methods can ensure a safer and more pleasant experience for everyone involved.
American Mold Experts is leading the way with a safer and smarter approach to mold and mycotoxin remediation with its breakthrough plant-based enzyme, MTR94®. The highly effective enzyme blend offers a natural and non-toxic solution to eliminating harmful molds like Aspergillus, Penicillium, Chaetomium and Stachybotrys, among others, and the mycotoxins they produce. It neutralizes the toxic mycotoxins released by these molds, without leaving behind a hazardous chemical residue or causing adverse side effects. Their cleaning solutions are safe for kids, pets, plants and the environment.
“We understand the serious health risks associated with mold sickness and make it our mission to provide mold-safe, clean, and safe environments for our clients to live in,” says Julie Hurst, President of American Mold Experts.
Taking a thorough approach to mold remediation, its services include mold inspection, testing, remediation and post testing to check their work, with special emphasis on mycotoxin removal. This holistic multistep approach using fine particulate cleaning to mold and mycotoxin cleaning ensures that the environment is clean, and the factors for mold growth are eliminated.
What really sets American Mold Experts apart is its unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction and contractual guarantees. It goes above and beyond to ensure its clients receive top-notch service for complete mold and mycotoxins removal, and backs it up with a remarkable 100 percent money-back guarantee. This is a rare and valuable promise in the industry. Despite the EPA not setting mold limit standards, American Mold Experts, after years of experience, set their own strict clearance standards that they put in writing for their customers. No other companies have taken this bold move and guarantees. These contractual promises provide the customer the ultimate confidence. These have made American Mold Experts a stand out choice for reliable results.
Leveraging the Power of Nature
Sometimes, fate has a way of leading people down unexpected paths. Hurst husband left the mold remediation industry after many years of experience, but, circumstances eventually led them back.
They found themselves back in the game when they worked on a mold-related case as independent contractors. Determined to find a better way to tackle mold, they stumbled upon a laboratory that produced a green product for environmental oil spills. In preliminary tests, the product proved effective in mold removal, too.
When they conducted their first test at a church, the results were impressive. The product turned out to be a game-changer. The church authorities spread the word in the community, which generated significant interest in this “green” mold removal giving birth to American Mold Experts in 2008.
However, it was soon discovered that the product needed to be improved to provide stability and shelf life to the plant based solution. Scientific intervention was needed to enhance its characteristics. A Ph.D. microbiologist and a team of scientists conducted numerous tests, resulting in the development of a more powerful blend of plant-based enzyme that MTR94® is today. Adding natural surfactants creates the enzyme bond with mold spores, mycotoxins, and hyphae of the mold, disrupting the mold’s functioning and completely destroying it.
Almost two decades in Hurst reports she still holds an amazement of the results they receive employing their unique remediation solution and methods. Reporting she never promises to CURE a customer’s health issues but has story after story of customers who report back the improvement in their health related issues.
Mycotoxin Decontamination Specialists
Mold colonies release mycotoxins as a byproduct, a small vapor molecule, smaller than a spore and easily transported throughout a structure. These microscopic particles can float in the air, even after a traditional mold cleaning or removal, and can be easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin of occupants. They are commonly found landed in dusty areas of a building, such as ducts, furnaces, and HVAC systems.
American Mold Experts specializes in testing for these mycotoxins. By collecting dust swabs from different surfaces and furnace filters. The laboratory for environmental mycotoxin analysis can detect 15 different mycotoxins, including nine macrocyclic trichothecenes, using a sensitive detection method known as competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results are presented in an easy-to-understand format, with detection levels in parts per billion (ppb) as set forth by the FDA, WHO, CDC, and food industry for clinical use. Most individuals don’t realize mycotoxins are not new and have been measured in food sources for years but now newer in testing the indoor environment.
After a structure evaluation and testing, American Mold Experts provides remediation services to clean the building, focusing on a fine particulate and cleaning every surface where mycotoxins might reside. Utilizing microfiber rags, wall pads to clean the indoor environment, electrostatic sprayer with a focus and special attention given to the HVAC systems. Always looking to improve the process and results, American Mold Experts also developed a new way to clean the air. Instead of using traditional air scrubbers that have their limits, they designed, built and utilize a 360-degree turntable, fogging process to ensure clean air and capture any mycotoxins, floating spores and hyphal that may have been left behind after surfaces are wiped. They have found this method much more thorough process for cleaning the air.
In addition to this comprehensive mycotoxin testing, American Mold Experts’ third party lab, Real Time Labs offers urine as well as environment mycotoxin testing for those wanting to test if mycotoxins are present in their body. There are now very well documented that mold and mycotoxins cause serious health problems, including neurological damage. These tests can help explain persistent health issues.
Decluttering the Process
American Mold Experts has perfected the mold remediation process over the years by introducing new steps. When examining a house, a mold assessor is dispatched to evaluate the condition of the building, specifically the entire structure looking for the signs of moisture, humidity, previous or current leaks and possible mold. Most individuals do not understand that mold is microscopic and by the time you see mold visually a one inch square can contain millions of spores. Where they often want to examine one area of concern they are not realizing that the invisible mold may be in many locations due to the transfer of spores through the HVAC system.
The mold assessor takes samples to get indicators of what exactly the occupants may be exposed and breathing day in and out. Photos are taken to identify possible areas of concern and document dimensions and contents that may be affected. Test samples are sent to third party labs for analysis and comparison to create part of the puzzle along with the home assessment.
The assessment also includes specialized equipment to give additional indicators of the indoor environment. Then all element are analyzed together to get a better picture of not only if there is mold present but WHY the mold is present.
Special emphasis is place on the why and often there is more than one reason. Each issue must be addressed prior to a remediation to ensure an environment remains mold-safe after remediation.
The new mold remediation process has greatly changed as more and more individuals are experiencing mold toxicity and illness. And although many restoration companies still employ old, traditional methods accepted by the insurance companies there is now a need for greatly revised procedures to address and ensure a mold safe environments and to avoid mold illness. Mold sensitive occupants require a fine particulate cleaning, a very thorough process.
Another company standard and non-typical procedure of American Mold Experts is to check the results of their work by waiting at least 72 hours after a remediation for clearance testing. Most remediation companies don’t check their work or if they do require the tests immediately upon completion of running air scrubbers. Hurst comments that they have the highest standards in the industry for what is acceptable clearance tests, stating “a remediation is not complete until the clearance tests prove we are done. You can’t be just ok when you are dealing with those sick due to mold and mycotoxins, it has to be right.” For all warranted jobs in their local area the team inspects annually to partner with their customers to help look for problems that might arise to help maintain a mold safe environment.
Due to demand and inquiries from across the United State, they also have a travel team for customers who can’t find a local remediation company that employs their high standards or address mycotoxins.

In one instance, it assisted a family when their son became severely ill and became nonfunctional due to mold infestation. Their home was thoroughly evaluated, and various concerns were revealed. The mold assessor detected accumulated water in their crawl space and a HVAC system that was not dehumidifying the interiors (a common issue), creating an environment for mold to thrive. It was also discovered that a balcony patio had a structural flaw, allowing water to drain back toward the house and soak the wall of their son’s room growing hidden mold in the wall for years. The necessary remediation was done, and mold buildup throughout the property was removed. The son is now living a healthy life. Hurst notes that she is glad American Mold Experts could provide a healthy living environment for the family.
