Jose Technologies Mold Services

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting Jose Technologies Mold service. We are a nationally certified mold inspection service that has worked throughout the area from south Seattle to Sequim. We have worked for businesses, homeowners, realtors and government entities. We are associated with NORMI.org, which is the organization we have received our certification through.

We offer from a complete inspection (inside, outside or crawl space photoinspect to a more limited one that is specific to your needs. We give you a written report that includes photos, lab results and recommendations. These recommendations include ways to eliminate the problem yourself or who you can call if the problem is beyond your doing. We cannot tell you what a mold is without sending it to the lab. We use two different labs, depending on the information that you are looking for. Since there are over 10,000 molds in our environment, our service gives you the information you need to make an educated decision on how to eliminate it.

We have partnered with Home Air Check to provided another testing system that can help you find what may be causing issues in your home. This test is looking for Volitle Organic Compounds that may be in your breathing space but at a level that you cannot smell. I have found a number of homes with gasoline vapors in their home that is causing health concerns. Please give us a call today

Kitsap Sun Article

Jose Technologies was recently in a feature article published by the Kitsap Sun. Called "Kitsap at Work: It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it," the article highlights Kitsap County's "dirtiest jobs." Here is an excerpt from the article:

Paul Jose's job as a mold inspector also involves spiders. A tough day of work will find him poking into dank crawl spaces full of sticky webs, exposed insulation and rat droppings.

On a good day, all he's got to do is crawl around toilets and under kitchen sinks.

Jose recently ran a handheld device over the bathroom floor of Tim and Mary Hoffman's Manette home. A display panel showed increased moisture in one spot.

"That indicates this toilet is probably leaking," Jose said. "It doesn't necessarily mean we have mold. It just means we have a water problem."

But water can lead to mold, which can cause respiratory problems in residents.

Mary Hoffman has had nagging health issues since the couple moved into the house, and Jose, taking swab samples and air samples, was out to find the culprit. He recommended the Hoffmans fix the toilet leak and repair drafty window frames.

Toxic mold, animal feces, animal hair, asbestos and dryer lint all can taint a home. Some places are so bad, Jose must suit up in Tyvek and use a respirator.

"I don't like it, but I will do it, because to me the most important thing is the health of the people living there," said Jose, owner of Jose Technologies of Keyport. "That's my job, to make people healthier."

Keeping Mold Out of Your Home

There is one question that I am asked many times. That question is, "How can I keep Mold out of my home?"

There is no way to keep mold out of your home. Mold is a natural part of plant decomposition. It is everywhere we as humans live. It is part of the plant live that ives throughout the world, whether it is in the desert or in the artic, mold will contimue to grow and break down the plants and animals to become part of the soild that is all around us.

So the real question should be, "How can I keep Mold from growing in my home?" This is also a very easy question to answer. Keep your home dry and you will not have mold growth. This of course is a hard thing to do here in the Northwest. We have moisture coming down everyday during the winter months, so it seems, and this summer we all though that it would never get wram. The other issue here is we bring moisture into our homes on our shoes, on our clothing and even through the different menthods that the notorious water enters our homes.

When was the last time you check your roof to see if the shingles were loose?
When was the last time you checked your water pipes for leaks?
When was the last time you checked the gutters around your home?
When was the last time you checked the downspouts?
When was the last time you checked the relief valve on your hot water heater?
When was the last time you checked the moisture valve on your furnace or HVAC system?
When was the last time you checked the caulking around all your windows, inside and outside?
When was the last time you checked your filter on the furnace or HVAC system?
When was the last time you checked your toilets for leaking?

These are just a few of the areas that I come in and check. They all can allow water to come into your home and cause mold issues.

If you have any questions please give me a call. 360.689.2352
