The truth is, no bandaid solution is going to
take care of your mold problem.
There’s always an underlying reason WHY it’s there.
If you don’t take care of that underlying cause,
the mold will come back.
No matter what you put over it, encapsulate it with, or spray over it.

Knowledge of building design and construction is essential to find solutions to building problems involving water damage and poor air quality. Especially in a world where there is no regulation for mold professionals.
I am a licensed architect with over 30 years of knowledge, research and professional experience, offering proven design, construction and renovation solutions to solve building challenges economically.
My own family and I experienced mold and toxin exposure. It took our home and health years to recover from the effects and this has motivated me to help others avoid ending up in the same situation.
When consulting with you and your building team, you get to take advantage of my technical resources regarding complex building topics , previously only available to professionals through conferences and group professional programs.

"I would highly recommend reading through Cheryl‘s website as well as purchasing her videos. I have been looking at real estate in Boston and there are an overwhelming number of water-damaged properties that I have seen. It’s so helpful to have someone point out potential problems, as well as to address what is fixable… And what is not."
