Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 I've been reading the posts on the Home Depot mold testing. Just my opinion, but I would not recommend it if you want accuracy and need it for proof of your exposure, especially if you are headed to litigation. I highly recommend Dr. Lipsey and have used him myself. If " do-it-yourself " testing really works, why did Dr. Lipsey spend 11 years in college to get the degree which qualifies him as an expert? Any attorney I know would laugh if I wanted to prove I had mold and DID NOT have a expert's report to back my claim. Again it's just my opinion, but if you think you have mold you really do need an expert to come out and examine it and take cultures. You need to know the specific types of species and the count. You may find that you have mold, but actually have a higher count outside than you do in your home. Mold is everywhere. All the the factors need to be examined and asssessed.
