A small group of vetted mold professionals whose names and expertise appear in our published content. If you're on this page, you were hand-picked.
What this is
MoldGuide reaches homeowners at the exact moment they're searching for mold help. When we write about remediation techniques, inspection standards, or what to look for in a contractor, we quote real professionals by name. Expert Contributors are the people we quote -- verified pros whose credentials and track record do the talking.

Who qualifies
We're looking for working professionals who have been doing this long enough to have real opinions about it. That means an active certification (IICRC, NORMI, IAQA, RIA, or a valid state license), an established business with a verifiable track record, and a willingness to be quoted by name.
We verify credentials against public records before every listing. If you've been in the industry for a while and you're certified, you almost certainly qualify.
Current Expert Contributors
Kodie L. Brush
Steam Green Cleaning and Restoration Inc.
Peoria, IL
Kodie has run Steam Green in Peoria for over 20 years, handling everything from water damage to applied microbial remediation. He's IICRC-certified in structural drying and applied microbial remediation and holds NORMI membership. One thing he sees constantly: homeowners treating mold with bleach-based products, which strips the color but leaves the toxins behind -- and the mold grows back. On porous surfaces especially, the only real fix is proper remediation.
David Marquardt
The Steam Team
Austin, TX
David works with The Steam Team, an Austin institution since 1983 and one of the few restoration companies in Texas holding both IICRC Certified Firm status and a state-issued Mold Remediation Contractor license. The company has handled water damage, mold remediation, and structural drying across Central Texas for over 40 years.
Rudy Contreras
Life Savers Restoration
Henderson, NV
Rudy runs Life Savers Restoration in Henderson, Nevada, and holds one of the harder credentials to earn in the trade -- IICRC Triple Master status across water restoration, fire & smoke restoration, and textile cleaning. He's also a NAMRI-certified mold remediator and inspector, an Applied Microbial Remediation Specialist, and trained in applied structural drying. The firm has earned 4.8 stars across 200+ reviews handling water damage, mold, and trauma cleanup across the Las Vegas Valley.
