I was warned about Sean, the manager's personality. This didn't worry me as I can get along with most everyone. Unfortunately, it was the tip of the iceberg. At our initial meeting in mid-November, I was given a probable date for remediation of mold behind a wall and in air ducts. As weeks wore on, however, I continued to be put off. This was very frustrating as the floors had been removed from my entire house and I was living in my bedroom, afraid to run the heat, air, or fans. Aside from my own living conditions, the wait made it necessary to inconvenience the flooring installer by delaying his start date.
When finally scheduled, I adjusted things at work to accommodate them. They weren't able to come that day, but they didn't bother to cancel. When I called, I was told that it would be another 3 weeks. I politely but strongly expressed my displeasure and was met with total indifference. The only way I could expedite things would be to hire the air duct professional myself, and separate that remediation from the wall removal and treatment. By doing this, however, I would waive my guarantee of Grimefighter's accountability, since any post test for mold would now be compromised. I felt I had to go ahead. The day the wall was to be removed, I called to schedule the drywall repair, which we had discussed and agreed upon. But he had neglected to put this in the contract and when pressed, said that he didn't think there'd be anyone who would want to make these repairs so close to Christmas.
I explained that this left me in a terrible position but it was clear he didn't care. I once again had to break my commitment to the flooring person. Eventually, I found a repair person.
As soon as remediation was completed, I called Sean twice to ask about the findings. I never received an answer, nor a report. Nor did I receive an invoice for the balance of my bill, which, after removing the air duct cost, was very small.
I needed to put my house back together and let it go. At the end of March, I received a call from Grime Fighters accounts receivable department in regard to my "delinquent bill," the amount being large and incorrect . The woman was pleasant and she did straighten out the amount. Grimefighter's incompetence and total disregard for the customer compounded what was already a nightmare for me. Sadly, it all could have been avoided with a bit of basic management, communication, decency.They know mold, but that's all.
