Mold sits at the intersection of health, housing, and money — which means the content deserves sourcing you can check. This page explains the standards behind everything published on this site.
Our Standards
- Health and regulatory claims come from official sources — the EPA, the CDC, and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services — and are linked where cited.
- We don’t sell fear. Where the evidence is more measured than the headlines (black mold is the standing example), we say what the agencies actually say — even though panic converts better.
- No invented social proof. No fabricated reviews, testimonials, case studies, or credentials appear on this site. Provider-specific claims (certifications, insurance, photos of completed work) are published only when verified.
- Pricing is labeled honestly as typical local ranges for planning, not guaranteed quotes.
- Pages are reviewed periodically and corrected promptly — spot an error, call (417) 879-6357 or use the contact page.
