Mold & Toxic Material Test
It was an amazing experience. at first I was very nervous. I wasn’t sure what was gonna happen. She came to the house explained to me in detail what the process was and took her samples. She communicated with me thoroughly after we got the results and made it very clear That she is here to help in whichever route I take .. overall if you think you have mold or mildew Linda’s the one who will let you know start to finish what it is what is isn’t. I give her 10 stars.

Mold & Toxic Material Test
Linda was absolutely wonderful. My wife suffers from mold illness along with many other conditions. We needed our new home remediated for the second time. The first company would not use a mold inspector of our choice and had to go with theirs. It seemed shady and the end result is that they did not rid our house of mold even though their mold inspector passed us. Linda is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and thorough. She created a plan for the remediation company to follow. We are currently in that process. I will update as it progresses. Linda was so kind and understanding to my wifes condition. We trusted her judgement and findings and she well beyond the call of duty. We highly, highly recommend her.

Linda was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. As a renter it felt like we weren’t getting the whole story with the mold blooms and Linda was able to help fill in the blanks with our situation. She has been available for any questions or concerns even after she completed the job. Highly recommend her and Mold Detective

Linda has been amazingly professional and informative as well as respectful of my privacy with regards to outside inquiries regarding the rental in question. She is responsive and hard working replying to 10pm messages at 4 am and available months later with helpful expedition of records as well as availability in a remarkable timeframe as far as coming out Christmas Eve day for me. I consider her the best in her field and as hard working as anyone I've ever met. Her credentials are noteworthy and she deserves the status of top of her field nationwide. The cost is an amazing value as a specialist. Five golden stars across the board!

I am so grateful to find Linda AKA The Mold Detective. She was beyond great to work with. She runs a professional operation. Got me scheduled quickly, communicated in a timely manner, kept me updated on each step of the process and got the results quickly. She provides verification of testing from the lab and a comprehensive report. She provided information that was easy to understand and recommendations to follow. All around it was a great experience in a rather stressful situation. If you're in need of these services I would highly recommend Linda. She is very knowledgeable and her experience is evident.
