    My family had been having some concerning health symptoms and part of our journey to figure it out was to see if there was anything concerning/mold in the air we breathe in our home. We are not native to FL so we did not know mold is prevalent in the air and even homes due to more humidity in the environment. We reached out to Bigfoot for air quality testing specifically questioning if we had mold. It turns out we do not have mold. Yay! Zack is the owner and the one who performed our testing, he was professional, very pleasant and knowledgeable about mold and the test he performed. He answered all of our questions above and beyond what we asked. Although we are very much on our journey of figuring out our families health issue one thing we can cross off our list is our air quality that was a big worry of mine and now I have peace of mind that it is not what is making any of us sick. – JC B.
