Not happy at all. This company does not have the interest of property owners in mind. The test samples they take are often needless. For example air testing in every room. There are not even quantitative standards from the CDC on what is acceptable air spore counts. Do your research.

Description of Work: Mold inspection and remediation. I have been a home builder for 30 years and have had to deal with some mold issues. MIS are the very best. Most importantly, they are completely honest in a very dishonest industry. Don't use anyone else, really.

Description of Work: A very thorough evaluation for mold was conducted inside and with the exterior of the house, including some air and tape samples. Our home is rather large and the inspector, Michael Cantor, spent at least five hours plus with the physical evaluation. Outside of a minor misunderstanding regarding calculation of a fee, all facets of servicee were excellent.

If you're concerned about your health and are serious about remediating a mold problem, call these guys. I suspected mold growth in my new home in the bathroom because of a suspicious smell. I felt so grateful and lucky that Inspector Mike Cantor came out to my home to test for mold. Mike used to be a house inspector, too, so he was able to offer a wonderfully detailed, thorough and integrative perspective not only on whether or not mold might be present, but what else might be causing the suspicious smell in the bathroom. They never make a call based on the lab results alone; they always combine the lab results with the visual inspection. This is because mold counts can vary greatly day by day and because mold needs certain conditions to live. Mike spent several hours in my home, and eventually took one air sample outside to establish a baseline, and then recommended that I take three air samples inside, which I signed off on. He also took a sample of a wall cavity. I was very happy that Mike was so receptive to answering my questions through the process, and as I walked around my home with him, I felt I could understand more of what was going on behind the walls. The lab results came back 48 hours later. When I called the office to ask about the reports, it seemed like Craig had really taken the time to read through and understand the reports, and was able to give me some good insights and answer all my questions about the implications of the report. Even though mold was present, Craig told me on the telephone that the number of spores found was quite low. It was helpful to get human insight to interpret the lab reports. Craig told me that they had specifically sought out the lab that they use to analyze the samples and report the results because of the algorithms and other science-y stuff that goes on behind the scenes. They also recommended some mold remediation companies, which was helpful. Finding mold in the home is an emotional process, so I was happy that Mike and Craig were able to put my mind at ease by being so thorough and professional. We are also going to use them to conduct the post remediation test so that we can be sure that the mold remediation company cleaned up all the mold.
Description of Work: Conducted visual physical inspection of my home for mold, took several air and wall samples, provided written report and summary with detailed lab results within 48 hours, offered 30 minute phone consultation to answer my questions about the reports, and provided recommendations for mold remediation companies.

I was able to have the technician out within 2 days of me calling. Myles was extremely professional, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this service. I am anxious to get the results to see what mold species was growing and if it is harmful (especially since we have a newborn and 2 other young children). I am so happy a service like this exists. It is definitely worth the money to have peace of mind that my family is healthy.
Description of Work: Took samples of the mold in the LG washer (front load) and air samples from the laundry room and the air outside for a control.

My phone call was returned promptly and we were able to book an appointment within a couple of days of my call. The inspector was very thorough and provided a good referral service for mold remediates, if we needed them. The test results came back a few days after the inspection. In all, it was a very professional operation and we had a good experience.

They test for visual mold, and also charge an additional $85 for each test. Other than that, the communication was good, and they were very friendly.

I loved working with this company. Brandon was the first person I spoke to and he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He patiently answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. I was already a little distressed about the thought of mold, and I began to feel better after the first call! The inspector was thorough and tested everything I needed to have tested. I asked about additional testing and he discouraged me from wasting my money on items that were not necessary. He clearly knew what he was doing and his mannor was totally professional. I was having a guest house inspected and as a woman, I might have felt uncomfortable in that small space with someone less than professional. My favorite aspect of this company is that they do NOT provide mold remediation services, so I had more confidence that they would be honest about the results. All they do is testing so they have no motive to find mold if it's not really there or exaggerate a problem. What can I say, I'm suspicious. Some may feel their prices are high, but since they only do testing, I found them to be good. I received a call and an email with the results in 4 days. The service was excellent from beginning to end. I could not be happier with this company.
Description of Work: Physical inspection and 4 samples sent to the lab.

Initially, I was unsure what I needed to do. My tenants were complaining of a mold smell in the bathroom. After talking with Craig and Brandon at Mold Inspection Sciences, I was reassured that an inspection would be the most cost effective way of determining my problem. Since Mold Inspection Sciences does inspection work and not do remediation work, I felt comfortable knowing I would not be told I had a problem with the expectation of costly construction work to follow. They do not have ulterior motives!! Mike the inspector was very professional. He did a thorough job from checking my attic and HVAC system to looking under the floor in the crawl spaces. Mike also was very cordial in dealing with my tenants. I received a report within three working days of the inspection. The report contained pictures, results and recommendations. I was very pleased with the services Mold Inspection Sciences provided for me and would use them again.
Description of Work: Mold Inspection Sciences came to my rental house and inspected the entire house for mold. They inspected every part of the house from the attic to the crawl space under the house.

Jason was extremely professional and helpful. He was also early which is always appreciated! Mold is one of those weird things where you feel totally at the mercy of people telling you what to do, but Jason and the Mold Sciences team were extremely helpful and patient will all my questions. I would definitely recommend them!
Description of Work: I had a leak in my ceiling which made me worried about the possibility of mold showing up. I called Mold Inspection Sciences on a Wednesday and less than 24 hours later I had Jason coming over for an inspection. I had an entire inspection of my apartment performed plus three different types of tests.
