Mold Mentor

Oriental Rug Cleaning, Mold Testing & Remediation

About us

Yes, we can dry out flooded basements! The very thought of mold scares people. In addition to potential sickness and damage to your home, it can cause emotional and financial strain on your family. So, with a drive to help others and a vast understanding of mold myth and fact, I started Mold Mentor. Today, my company offers mold consulting, remediation, inspection and testing. We provide professional and unbiased advice—even if that means telling a potential customer that they don’t need our services. When there is a problem, we help identify conditions that lead to mold contamination and offer solutions to correct them. Our services are affordable and effective. And as a member in good standing, we adhere to MICRO’s strong code of ethics. Mold Mentor is a proud recipient of the Angie's list Super Service Award 2018 and 2019. Our goal is always to work in your best interest and never, ever profit from fear. I began my career as a home inspector where I learned quite a bit about what goes on behind the walls of houses old and new. I went on to manage a mold remediation franchise and saw a need for more honest service providers in this industry. After becoming a certified mold professional, I knew it was time to fulfill a lifelong dream of starting my own business. Mold Mentor was born. As a dedicated family man with five children and an incredible wife, I am thrilled every time my company is able to help another family reclaim a healthy home.

Had musty midlew/moldy smell eminating from bathroom shower due to some previous water penetrating compromised grout seam. No visible mold/mildew, so wanted to get expert opinion if there could be an issue behind the tile with the backer board. Zach responded to my call the same day and came out two days later per scheduled time. Zach did a thorough eval of the shower, bathroom area, checked for leaks in the drain pipe & checked other possible sources of mold in related parts of the house. Nothing abnormal was found, so Zach recommended taking inside/outside air samples to test for abnormal mold spore presence. Samples were sent to a lab for testing & results were received the next day. Results were normal, so this eliminated the issue of mold/mildew growth for the most part, without having to tear out parts of the shower to see what was back there.

The experience was terrific. Zach is very personable and professional. He explained what needed to be done which other companies hadn't done. He told us things we could do to reduce the cost or we could fix ourselves. His estimate was far below others. I'd hire him again and recommend him highly.

Excellent results!!! Zach communicated this was something he had never done, but I wanted to try anyway due to how much I paid for it. Had nothing to lose by doing so! Results exceeded my expectations! Zach was very helpful & friendly.

My tenant had mold under the kitchen sink. Zach called and asked me to send a picture. I sent him a video of the mold. Instead of him charging me to come out. He told me what to use to fix it myself to save money because the job was small. Mold Mentor will definitely be at the top of the list if i ever have a mold problem.

We have mold in our basement that we were unsure of the proper treatment. Zach was extremely quick to respond to my request and scheduled a time for a quote/inspection within days. He was honest and transparent about his services and advised us that the project was something we could complete ourselves to save money. He gave recommendations on the proper course of action to resolve the issue. He was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire him if we ever need a professional in the future.

We had called a few other companies, but Zach was definitely our top pick and was top notch. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was super responsive throughout the project. When he first scoped the project, he met at a time that was convenient for us because we had to juggle schedules. He spent time to explain the mold remediation process. He was quick to get us on the schedule, and he kept us posted day of so we knew exactly when he was going to arrive and how long the job would take. Outside temperatures were absolutely freezing that day and thus in the attic as well, but he tackled the job with gusto. When I peaked into the attic to see how it looked, the wood looked like new! The basement looked a lot better too - he had treated the mildew along the floor and removed some growth in places where there was poor ventilation. We did have an unexpected issue with a nail popping through the ceiling in the living room. When I emailed him about it, he called me immediately and offered to fix it. Outstanding service! I'm definitely recommending Zach to a friend of mine and will recommend to others when asked. Thank you Zach!

Mold Mentor came by on a consult after we had a leak underneath our kitchen sink. He was able to quickly schedule an appointment and came by on time. He inspected the area and determined it was something we could handle ourselves. We appreciated his candor and would definitely hire him if we ever needed professional mold services.

I can’t say enough about how Zach with Mold Mentor saved my life. I had been through a personal, heartbreaking tragedy, and then on top of that, I had broken my ankle and had surgery. All in the space of three months my life collapsed in on me. And then....I realized I had a situation in my basement! It was unimaginable what I was going through. Zach was my first contact. He was thorough, professional, caring, and exactly what I needed. And I knew that not only he cared about me, but he cared about making sure that he was able to do what needed to be done and to carry it out effectively. He carried out his work in true integrity. He and his assistant came in and moved everything out that need to be moved out, and efficiently provided the professional kind of service that I needed. When I came home it was immaculate. Such a huge relief! If you are looking for somebody who can empathize with you and walk you through the process, and keep things in line economically, Zach is your answer. He went above and beyond, let me tell you. I can’t speak highly enough about him. If I could give him more stars than five I would give him five times infinity. Thank you Zach!

I called Mold Mentor about a persistent shower mold problem I’d been ignoring for a year, after two failed re-caulking efforts by my handyman (the caulk quickly got moldy again). I was expecting to hire Mold Mentor, but was impressed and surprised when Zach took time to talk to me on the phone and encouraged me to buy a certain caulk. He could have made it a whole project and I would have trusted him and paid for his work, not knowing whether it wasn’t necessary. Instead, he educated me and saved me money. It’s been a few weeks and the caulk in the shower is still bright white! Hopefully it lasts. He was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Hopefully I won’t ever have a mold problem that requires a professional, but if I do, I know who to call.

After receiving very scary news from a prominent basement company in Central Ohio, a friend recommended that I get a second opinion from Mold Mentor. Zach came out, inspected my musty old basement free of charge, and gave me his professional opinion. Much to my surprise he told me "your basement does not need any of my services." I was shocked! The other company quoted me $10,000+ for services that I do not need. Zach gave me simple solutions that my husband and I can do on our own to alleviate the musty smell. A structural engineer backed up everything that Zach told me. I can not speak highly enough about this company. I will be recommending him to everyone I know with basement "issues." If you want an honest opinion from a company that is not out to rob you blind, do yourself a favor and call Mold Mentor.

My household is in the middle of unplanned reconstruction following a dishwasher leak in April and a water main leak in the basement in September. I have been dealing with countless contractors and service people, and most range from bad to worse. So a shout out to this company for OUTSTANDING service is appropriate. Zach Duffey was a true stand out in this process in resolving the basement issue. Zach was responsive, professional, and an excellent listener. He provided water mitigation as well as safe removal of moldy carpet and panelling in a timely way. He was never less than 100% honest and 100% thorough. He provided all documentation and itemization necessary for quick and painless resolution with my insurance company. I highly recommend Zach to anyone who needs to address clean up after leaks or who needs to address mold.

They did a mold test where they checked the moisture outside of my condo and then inside. Zach told me if the levels were much higher inside then I could have a problem. The results came back good, so no mold. Was very happy to hear. Zach was very easy to deal with and very professional. I would definitely recommend mold mentor and would use them again if I had another issue.

I had a great experience with Zach! I found him to be honest, trustworthy, and very personable. We had some minor mold in our basement. He gave us a reasonable quote for remediation, but he also said this was something we could handle on our own if we wanted to do it ourselves, which is what we ended up doing. He also recommended a very affordable dehumidifier which we are very pleased with!! I am so grateful for his knowledge and advice. I hope I don't have issues with mold again, but if I do I know who I am going to call!

Zach and Mold Mentor offer a service experience that is truly a cut above the rest. Every step of the way - from initial testing to consultation to final repairs - was handled with professionalism and integrity. Zach went above and beyond in navigating our home’s peculiarities to uncover the source of water entry and plainly laid out all options - lots of information and zero salesmanish pressure. When we decided to go forward with a repair project, Zach was flexible with our schedules. The work was carried out rapidly with quality and minimal disruption. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zach and Mold Mentor to any friend or family member.
