To be very honest,I did not know what to expect What I wanted was someone to come in,take sample of air in our attic to see if We had mold..Based on that test we would then moved forward and fix the problem. However she did a through job including Air quality water damage and mold.

Linda was quick to respond and did a thorough report. Her knowledge from having owned a Service Master franchise for 20 years is invaluable. She took a few detours in her report, but always in the areas of safety or moisture intrusion. Good report.

I would recommend that a potential customer make sure they know ahead of time the total cost they are obligating themselves to. For some reason (maybe my fault), I didnâ t know or understand the potential cost and was staggered by the bill. Linda spent over two hours going over every inch of my condo, making suggestions, asking important questions and pointing out areas of concern. Safety issues were addressed, samples were taken and her thoroughness was greatly appreciated. She is very knowledgeable in many points of construction and is able to recognize potential problems before they become disasters. Good job, Linda! Thank you so very much!

Very compassionate and understanding during this very scary time. She was very thorough and listens to all your concerns and will address each of them. She s not a remediation company she only does mold testing which means she has no added benefit to tell you that you have a problem when you don t. If you re looking for mold testing don t look any further hire the Mold Detective for peace of mind either way!!! Thank you Mold Detective!!

Mold Detectives was so amazing in the amount and quality of information she gave me. Fortunately the rental company that owns the property acted w full Integrity and we didn t need MDs substantiation of facts to get them to move and act on the severe mold issue. I would have contracted immediately with Linda if I needed.
