Welcome to another episode of The Mold Show!
In this episode, we sit down with Mark and Steve Levy — brothers and experts in indoor air quality, microbial contamination, and health-focused environmental testing.
We dive deep into what a thorough mold assessment actually looks like, what many inspections miss, and why this level of detail is crucial for anyone who is immune compromised, chronically ill, or dealing with mold-related illness.
Learn the signs of hidden contamination, the difference between standard vs. health-based inspections, and how to take control of your environment when your health depends on it.
