How it works
Four steps from first spore to verified clear
Here is exactly what happens after you enter your email — no surprises, no pressure, and no one committing you to anything without your say-so.
Containment sealed
Source fixed · area contained · air cleared
01Step one
Tell us what's going on
Share one email address and, when you're ready, a few basics — where you see or smell mold, and whether there's been a recent leak or water damage. That's the whole ask on this page. Nothing sensitive.
02Step two
We connect you with a certified specialist
We help connect you with an independent, IICRC S520-certified mold-remediation company that serves your area. PureSpore doesn't test or remove mold itself — we make the introduction.
03Step three
Get an assessment and plan
The specialist assesses the growth, looks for the moisture source, documents everything (which helps your insurance claim), and gives you a scope and estimate. Pricing and timelines vary by company, conditions and market.
04Step four
You choose and they remediate
Pick the specialist that fits and hire them directly, on terms you agree to in writing. Any contract, claim coordination and payment is arranged between you and the independent company.
PureSpore is an independent information and referral service. We do not test, remove mold or perform repairs ourselves — we help connect you with independent, IICRC S520-certified specialists. Any company you choose is independently responsible for the work it provides. Pricing and outcomes vary, and nothing is guaranteed.
What we help with
Every part of mold remediation, one starting point
Whatever the source, we aim to connect you with certified specialists that handle it. Descriptions below are general information — scope and pricing come from the company you choose.
Mold inspection & testing
Find the problem
Visual inspection and, where warranted, sampling to identify what's growing and how far it has spread — not just what's visible on the surface.
Testing scope varies by specialist.
Containment & negative air
Stop the spread
Sealed containment barriers and negative-air pressure that keep spores from drifting into clean parts of your home while the work is underway.
Setup varies by area.
HEPA air scrubbing
Clean the air
HEPA air scrubbers that filter airborne spores from the work area during remediation, then help clear the space once removal is done.
Equipment varies by company.
Safe mold removal
Remove growth
Careful removal of mold-damaged materials — drywall, insulation, trim — using containment and protocols meant to limit cross-contamination.
Scope varies by damage.
Moisture-source repair
Fix the cause
Because mold returns if the water does, specialists trace and address the moisture source — a leak, seepage or humidity problem — not just the growth.
Repairs vary by source.
Dehumidification & drying
Dry it out
Dehumidifiers and air movers that bring moisture levels back down so treated areas stay dry and are far less likely to regrow.
Drying time varies.
Antimicrobial treatment
Treat surfaces
Application of EPA-registered antimicrobial products to treated surfaces to discourage regrowth after affected materials are removed.
Products vary by company.
Clearance testing
Verify it's clear
Post-remediation verification — often third-party clearance testing — to confirm the work area meets normal conditions before it's closed up.
Independent testing recommended.
Content cleaning
Save belongings
HEPA vacuuming and cleaning of salvageable furniture, contents and belongings where possible — with honest guidance on what's beyond saving.
Restorable items vary.
The services above are general information only. PureSpore does not test, remove or treat mold itself — we connect you with independent, IICRC S520-certified remediation companies. Pricing, timelines and outcomes vary by company, conditions and market, and no specific result is guaranteed. Ask any company for a written scope and estimate before you commit.
Don’t wait
Signs it’s time to call a specialist
Mold spreads quietly and feeds on moisture. These are the moments to stop guessing and get a certified specialist to take a look.
A musty, earthy smell that won't go away
A persistent damp, musty odor — especially in a basement, bathroom or closet — often means mold is growing somewhere you can't see.
Visible growth or dark discoloration
Black, green or white patches, fuzzy spots or creeping stains on walls, ceilings or grout are visible mold — and shouldn't be scrubbed away without finding the cause.
A recent leak, flood or water damage
Mold can take hold within a day or two of water intrusion. If you've had a leak, an overflow or flooding, it's worth checking even if nothing looks wrong yet.
Allergy or breathing symptoms indoors
Sneezing, congestion, headaches or irritated eyes that ease when you leave the building can point to indoor mold. Anyone with asthma or a weakened immune system should be especially careful.
Whoever you consider, do a little homework first: confirm they work to the IICRC S520 standard and carry insurance, and ask how they’ll find and fix the moisture source. You can also look up a company at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).
Why PureSpore
We connect you. We don’t test or remove mold ourselves.
That is the whole model, and we say it plainly. PureSpore is an independent information and referral service — the certified specialist you choose does the actual testing, containment, removal and repairs, on terms you agree to directly with them.
We connect — we don't do the remediation
PureSpore is an independent information and referral service. Testing, containment, removal and repairs are handled by the certified specialist you choose, never by us.
IICRC S520-certified, independent specialists
We help connect you with independent companies that work to the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation. Each is separately responsible for the work it provides to you.
Insurance-claim friendly
Certified specialists document conditions and the moisture source the way insurers expect, which can help your claim. We don't file or decide claims — your insurer does.
Honest about pricing — no guarantees
Pricing, timelines and outcomes vary by company, conditions and market. We don't promise a price, a timeline or a specific result — you compare and decide.
Composite stories
What a certified remediation can feel like
Honest, non-hype accounts of what the referral experience can be like.
We kept smelling something musty in the basement and our youngest's allergies were flaring. I emailed PureSpore, a certified specialist came out, found a slow foundation leak behind the drywall, and laid out a real containment-and-removal plan instead of just spraying bleach.
DDenise M. Grand Rapids, Michigan
What I appreciated was that nobody promised a magic price over email. The company they connected me with checked moisture levels, showed me where it was coming from, and gave me a written scope I could hand my insurer.
MMarcus T. Chattanooga, Tennessee
After a dishwasher leak we found mold under the cabinets. The specialist contained the area, removed what was affected, and did clearance testing at the end — so we actually knew it was clear, not just painted over.

Hire smart
What to check before you hire anyone
A few minutes of homework protects your home and your claim. These are genuinely useful habits — and a free public resource — that apply no matter who you choose.
How to choose a mold-remediation company
Whether you work with someone we connect you to or find on your own, run through this short checklist first:
Confirm IICRC S520 certification & insurance. Certification signals they follow the industry mold-remediation standard; insurance protects you if something goes wrong.
Insist they find and fix the moisture source. Removing mold without fixing the water problem just means it comes back — the source matters more than the patch.
Ask about containment & clearance testing. Proper containment keeps spores from spreading, and independent clearance testing confirms the area is actually clear when the work is done.
Check references & the BBB. A quick look at reviews and track record at the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org) is worth the minute.
