Violet Frog Water & Mold Solutions

A long time ago in a land far far away…

Well, actually just a few decades ago and in French Guiana, the founder of Violet Frog, Tom, was on a mapping expedition.

One foggy evening after a long day the nine man expedition team was heading back to their camp by boat. Anxious to wrap up their day and get some much needed rest they encouraged the boat captain to move quickly. The boat suddenly hit a submerged tree, violently lunging all on board instantly into the water. Tom and two others went through instead of over the metal boat railing. In less than a minute the boat capsized and sank, taking all their gear with it including their compasses.

Tom, as well as the other team members were injured, shocked, and found themselves treading water in the fog with just a few meters of visibility around them. Tom had a cracked rib from being hurled through the boat railing and was trying to tread water in full jungle gear and boots. None of the men had any idea which direction to swim to find the shore. Upset and understandably fearful, the men argued amongst themselves as to how to get safely to shore.

That’s when Tom noticed a small violet colored frog in the water just watching him trying to stay afloat. Soon, though, the frog started to swim away. Tom thought that while the men clearly did not know where to go, the frog likely did, and so started swimming after it. Given his injuries and being fully clothed he wasn’t able to swim quickly, but the frog swam slowly enough to allow him to follow.

The frog led Tom to shore, where he was able to call to his team to guide them safely in. The violet frog quite possibly saved Tom’s life as well as those of his team.

Years later when Tom started our company, there was no other name that would do. It had to be Violet Frog.

We sincerely hope that none of our customers ever face the danger or stress of being capsized in a fog, but we understand that having water or mold in your home can be an incredibly stressful situation.

Violet Frog is here to guide you through the process, to safeguard your property, and to ensure that the health and safety of your family is secure.

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. In contrast to plants, molds lack chlorophyll and cannot make their own food through photosynthesis. Instead, they derive nutrients by breaking down and decomposing organic matter such as dead leaves, wood, and animal dung.

Some molds also secrete digestive enzymes that dissolve the organic matter and allow the absorption of nutrients. Mold growth is favored by warm, damp, and humid conditions and their spores are found in both indoor and outdoor environments and can be transported by indoor air quality, water, or animals. Once mold spores land on a suitable flat surface, they begin to grow and reproduce.

Mold infestation can cause a variety of health problems, including allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and respiratory infections. Mold remediation is crucial in homes with people more susceptible to the effects of mold because it can cause grave illnesses. Children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are at increased risk for health problems from mold exposure.

Tom was great to work with. He tested my apartment for mold back in September. I meant to send a review along time ago but then got busy with life. He gave me some helpful information and peace of mind to know my apartment unit was ok to move back into after, my unit sustained pretty serious water damage. Thank you all for your help.

Tom and his crew did a great job hunting down the source of a water leak after we had our roof replaced. The roofing company came out once to "repair" the issue and then claimed the leak was coming from a window... It took Tom and his crew less than 30 minutes to not only identify the problem but to also provide video evidence of the issue. Even if I can't get insurance to force the roofing company to fix the repair, I at least know exactly what needs to be fixed!

Violet Frog did an amazing job cleansing our new home! Everything was cleaned and sanitized thoroughly and the house feels better than new. Tom and the staff are incredibly detail-oriented and very friendly. I highly recommend them for any environmental remediation and cleaning.

Mold issue? These are the guys you want. I contacted multiple restoration companies about my mold issue in my hallway bathroom. Most of them indirectly told me my job wasn't cost effective for them, one did directly. ServPro took some pictures of my ceiling and walked out. Another company lost their mold test results they sent to the lab. Regardless, Violet Frog showed me they actually cared. Other companies would look at a tiny dime-sized water stain on my ceiling and scoff. Tom didn't, I told him I smelled mold and he took it seriously. He considered the possibility that the stain could be the tip of the iceberg of a larger issue. Tom was knowledgeable about how mold grows, how it can spread, how water can seep into wood + drywall and cause issues in dark spaces even if there isn't a consistent source of moisture. He understands that mold releases gas as it grows that can cause damage to your raspatory health. He even let me know the root cause of the issue where my upstairs neighbor could not. (toilet leak) And best of all, they were kind, professional, and an overall pleasure to work with.

Tom and the Violet Frog crew spent about 10 weeks doing remediation on my home for mold. The mold was in every room but one, and it had a seperate HVAC system, as well as in the garage and basement. Tom did a wonderful job of answering questions and explaining to us about mold and how it spreads. He started with testing everywhere and when he got the results he told me I had to leave for health reasons. Tom "left no stone unturned", as the expression says, in tracking down the different sources of the mold and in the process even found a small water leak in the space between the floors that would have become a big problem if not discovered. He also had a small amount of panneling carefully taken down in several rooms and found mold behind it. He then removed more panneling and treated the area that had mold and then carefully replaced the panneling. He used the chlorine dioxide gas to kill the mold in every room and set up racks/shelves in the garage to put all my curtains and things out to be treated with the same gas. Everything I owned was cleaned outside with 1st air pressure to remove the mold before it was treated with the gas. The crew were wonderful to work with and laughed, sang and danced as they worked creating a very pleasant atmosphere to be around. Tom made suggestions of ways that we could divert water away from the house, had his crew clean out our gutters w/ strong water pressure to ensure all dirt residue was gone. They all did a very complete job! Where wallboard had to be removed they did an excellent job of patching in the new replacement and in some cases could repaint the area so it looked perfect. I am happy to recommend them to anyone dealing with a mold problem. They couldn't have been more helpful or professional!

It was a pleasure working with Tom and the Violet Frog team. In addition to mold remediation, Tom specializes in leak detection and was very responsive and willing to answer my many questions thought the process. Used them on a smaller issue in one place and now using them again for another larger issue at a different location. Both times the team has been able to come out quickly and do initial tests. The turn around from the lab for the mold and toxin tests is about 2 days which provides you with a pretty good picture of the situation very quickly. On the first job they were also able to scheduled the remediation almost immediately after the lab tests came back and I imagine this will also be true for the second job.

Violet Frog was highly recommended by a residential investor friend. Tom and his team went above and beyond to remediate a contaminated crawlspace. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Tom and the crew at Violet Frog!! Tom is very responsive and good at communicating what the critical issues are and how they will go about fixing them. His crew was incredibly efficient and left the house cleaner than the way they found it! If there were to be a silver lining to the mess of a home buying situation we found ourselves in it would be finding these guys. Will definitely be using them during our next due diligence period, and you should too!
