They came over and tested the property for lead and did a great job with reporting back to the New York City Health and Building Department. My violation was lifted and this company did a great job with making sure the paperwork was filed correctly. I really appreciate their efforts and help. When we submitted the paperwork to the health and building department they supplied more information to them. They had to go to the building again and they did not charge me for the extra visit.
Description of Work: I own another home and I have tenants living there. I had a report filed against me that their was lead on the property.

One or the affected areas was a small half bath which had a small amount of water staining on the acoustic tile on the ceiling and some moisture in one wall. When the insurance adjuster looked it over, he figured that if just one 5 foot by 4 foot piece of wall board were cut out and replaced, that should do it. (The bathroom had ceramic tile floor to 3 feet high, wallpaper above) My wife treasure the wall paper and the tile was perfect with it. And we had another roll of the paper. So the ENVIROCHECK guy after taking samples here and there, pulling wallpaper off and drilling out a couple samples from the wet area, pries two of the border tiles of the wall. As he's leaving he says "I took a couple of tiles but they were cracked anyway" He got away before we discovered it was a lie. We had extras of the square wall tiles but none of the border tiles. Net result: all four walls had to be removed by asbestos remediation people and then rebuilt. Thousands of unnecessary dollars. And a net result of losing my wife's treasured decor. Just because he didn't ask if we had any spare tiles. Stupid, dishonest, etc. When we called and left a "where are those tiles" message, they, of course, never responded.
Description of Work: A cellar area flooded due to a broken pipe. The clean up people said that, since this area was built in the 50s, it needed to be checked for asbestos. They came out to do that.

Response from Envirocheck Inc - Northeast and NYC Metro Offices
Envirocheck was contact on February 4, 2013 to respond to a water loss [removed member name] property. This was at the recommendation of his insurance carrier and a water damage mitigation contractor he hired. We showed up on same day as we often do for emergency water losses. At the request and direction of [removed member name] and the mitigation contractor we tested select and specific building components suspected to contain asbestos that were planned for removal. The components were reportedly wet, damaged and had to be removed to facilitate proper and thorough drying. Our consultants are licensed by, and agents of, the CT Department of Public health. The testing we conducted was in accordance federal and state regulations. It would violate proper sampling procedure to collect and analyzed samples considered “extras” as [removed member name] suggests. Most of the work we do is emergency service. We do understand [removed member name], like many suffering catastrophic water losses, is very upset with the damage to his home. The corrective measures are time consuming, inconvenient and expensive even with insurance coverage. Any materials having to be removed was due to the water loss not due to the federal and state mandated sampling Envirocheck conducted. Envirocheck strives for the highest standard of professionalism and integrity. I hope [removed member name] can find a way to understand our involvement was to ensure the health and safety of his family. By testing these materials we were able to ensure the mitigation contractor did not inadvertently contaminate his home with asbestos containing materials. Patrick Lyons, Regional Operations Manager

Excellent service throughout. Needed to get an ACP5 - asbestos testing report for NYC Dept of Buildings for renovation of city apartment. Called several companies. Some never called back. Those who did were difficult to understand and/or patronizing. By contrast, Patrick, the manager at Envirocheck, was pleasant, courteous and very knowledgeable. I made an appointment for the test. His inspector, Mike, came on time and was also very pleasant. He was also thorough and efficient. He called us with the verbal report within 48 hours and had filed the report with the DOB and fedexed the hard copy ACP5 to the expediter within 72 hours. Afterwards, when i had queries, my emails were answered within hours. Very good service. Highly recommend..

Was very pleased with the service from beginning to end. I called several asbestos testing companies, but the manager of Envirocheck, Patrick, was by far the easiest to talk to, the most knowledgeable and most helpful. We set up appointment for his inspector, Mike, to do the asbestos testing required in a city apartment pre-renovation. Mike arrived on time. He, too, was friendly, courteous and very efficient: we had his verbal report within 48 hours and he filed with the city and fedexed the ACP5 to our expeditor within 72 hours. Afterwards, when I had a query, my email was answered within hours. I would highly recommend this company if you need to have an asbestos check done.

Envirocheck's alarmist doom and gloom report caused me to obtain multiple estimates and in the end the alleged mold condition was fully remediated for a fraction of the cost and my house was sold. It seems that Envirocheck's slight of hand and dubious expertise if left unchecked would only have served to empty my wallet.
Description of Work: When selling my home the inspection turned up what appeared to be mold in the attic. I was told by a mold remediation company that the area had to be tested prior to treatment. They suggested Envirocheck., but they would not come to test until they got an authorization that my insurance company would pay for their services. My insurance company quickly approved and Envirocheck came to test the attic. When they came to test they said they had to test the first floor in addition to the attic which increased the charge to nearly twice what I had been quoted. Despite the technician telling me that mold spores were naturally present in all atmosphere, Envirocheck wrote a report that prompted a $16,000 estimate for remediation.

Response from Envirocheck Inc - Northeast and NYC Metro Offices
Envirocheck was contact by [Member Name] on April 12, 2012 to conduct an investigation of suspect mold in the attic of her home she was trying to sell. [Member Name] asked us to bill the insurance company for the work. Once they agreed to pay the bill we booked the inspection the very next day. The protocol we follow for testing an attic involves collecting a surface sample from the attic, performing an air test in the primary living areas below the attic plus one outdoor control for comparative purposes. The purpose for collecting samples in this way was explained to [Member Name]. She agreed and signed our contract for this testing. We provided her with a report of findings including a recommended protocol for remediation of the mold problem in her attic. We do not perform mold remediation as that is a known conflict of interest in the industry. Envirocheck did not provide Mrs. Farrell with a $16,000 estimate. We are pleased she decided to get multiple estimates and found a contractor to execute our recommended protocol for a reasonable price. We understand [Member Name] was disappointed by the discovery of mold in her attic during the sale of her home. We performed the investigative service she requested, which untimely lead to the correction of the problem and the sale of her home. Our primary concern is the health and safety of occupants. Patrick Lyons, Regional Operations Manager
