Josh’s passion for helping clients to correctly identify moisture and mold problems in their indoor environment, grew out of his own experience with hidden toxic mold, that devastated his family, and the challenge of finding honest contractors to do their job correctly and to be accurate in their diagnosis of the sources of moisture that led to conducive environments for mold to grow.
Prior to becoming a state licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC), Mold Assessor (MA) and Certified Master Inspector (CMI), Josh operated and owned his own remodeling and maintenance company managing projects for twenty-one Home Depot locations across the Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas regions, as well as, providing maintenance services for four major downtown restaurants in Austin.

His expertise and dedication have made him a trusted and credible voice in legal cases across the country. He has provided expert written and verbal testimony in dozens of depositions and six testimonies, resulting in substantial verdicts and settlements for his clients.
Senator Jon Ossoff (GA) relied upon and cited Josh’s Mold Assessment Reports in a special senate hearing to show and help hold private military housing companies accountable for their performance and to drive improvements in how they manage on-base homes which house military families.
Joshua M. Rachal, CMI, MAC, MA:
Has been regularly referred by medical professionals, naturopathic doctors, functional doctors, and other holistic wellness professionals to their patients for comprehensive mold assessments of their homes or places of business.
