About this listen

What should you do when water damage strikes—whether it’s a burst pipe, a flooded basement, or a slow leak you didn’t notice until it was too late? In this episode, Dr. Mitchell sits down with trusted mold inspector Joseph Reiss to unpack the essentials of mold prevention, testing, and remediation. They cover what to do in the first 24 hours after water damage, why carpets are mold magnets, how to safely contain and remove contaminated materials, and which testing methods actually help identify hidden mold.

Joseph also shares insights on flood-proof home design, how to avoid costly mistakes, and what to look for in professionals who truly understand water and mold management. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or health-conscious listener, this conversation offers practical steps to protect your home—and your health—from toxic mold.
