"When I went looking for flooring at a local store, the man said there was a good chance the tiles and glue were asbestos. My research indicated I could just cover the floor (encapsulate it) or remediate it. Even though it was expensive, I thought it best to remediate it. I used Angi's which is what I ALWAYS do and looked up service providers. I called a couple of them and got prices. Environmental was not the cheapest, but Maximus made me feel comfortable. He not only reviewed what needed to be done in the basement, he advised me about other things, as well. I felt like he really knew what he was doing, and he spent time with me. He gave me options, and I think he went above and beyond."

"My existing window well had pulled back from the homes foundation over the past 20 years, allowing water and sediment to enter the well. Sediment would plug the drain causing water to build up and create an aquarium in the window well. You pass waterproofing installed a new window well and securely fastened it to the cement foundation. They carefully removed the previous window well and took care not to brutalize the surrounding landscape. Completely satisfied with their work"

"We called Pure Maintenance when we discovered mold in our attic and they were very responsive to our Angi request. They came out promptly, did a thorough review and provided photos of the mold extent. Unfortunately, they were not able to perform all of the services we wanted to have done so we opted for a different provider. I would recommend them for light mold restoration - everyone was very courteous, knowledgeable and professional."

"My review is tiered because the overall service seems to run on tiers. The technician was great. Very personable and professional. 5 stars for his work. Your tests get sent to the lab. The lab explains the results and recommends a company for a DIY solution. This is where things start to fall apart. The company you get referred to has abysmal reviews and the sales pitch feels extremely predatory. That taints my opinion of the lab results which would be teamed up with a business they probably shouldn't recommend. We're planning on either an independent company locally to get a quote from for any remediations we will take or even see what home depot has to offer. In any event please read the reviews of BioCide, the company they will recommend you use. We're still not sure we even have a real problem if they are working together."

"Our house had a water damage that ruined much of the drywall and floor on the first floor and the basement. For such a big repair job, I carefully looked up the reviews and recommendations from Angie's list and talked to 3 contractors that have the highest ratings. AOM was one of the three. David, the owner of AOM, quickly came to our house, assessed the damage, explained to me what need to be done, showed great empathy to our loss and current situation (having to stay in hotel waiting to go back to our house), and put a very competitive bid (about 2/3 the bid of another contractor). We picked them and signed the contract. AOM uses Trello, a cloud-based project tracking system that software companies often use, to effectively and promptly communicate task description and updates to all workers and house owners. AOM workers are professional, hard working, and friendly. For such a big project, expectedly there were some hiccups and AOM had to juggle ours with their other on-going projects. David kindly explained to me various aspects of the repair work and promptly fixed any faults that we identified. I became to completely trust David's professional skill and that he would treat our house like his. Several nights and weekends David came to work late so that we could move back to normal life as soon as possible. In the end, we are very happy with our remodeled house. I sincerely recommend David and AOM for any house remodeling and restoration job."

Biohazard Remediation questions, answered by experts

You’ve stored your coats away all summer long, but now that the temperatures drop, you notice they smell weird as you pull them from storage. What’s the deal? If your clothes smell weird after you stored them, they may have been in a moist, dark environment for several weeks or months. This environment is ideal for mildew growth, which can make clothes smell musty.

Using bowls of water for humidity can be an effective way to increase the humidity level in a room, but it's essential to consider potential risks. Placing bowls of water near heat sources might pose a hazard as they could spill, causing damage or creating slip hazards. Moreover, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria or mold (you really want to get rid of black mold stat) if not changed regularly, potentially negatively affecting indoor air quality. Water bowls can also accidentally spill onto surfaces, causing water damage to furniture or flooring. Regular maintenance and cautious placement can mitigate these risks.

The primary difference is that black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is considered toxic and more dangerous than regular mold. It can produce harmful chemicals called mycotoxins, which may lead to severe health issues like respiratory problems, skin irritation, headaches, and other long-term complications. While regular mold is rarely toxic, it can still cause allergic reactions and respiratory irritation. Visually, black mold often appears dark—green, gray, brown, or black—with a fuzzy texture, whereas regular mold can be almost any color. Black mold is less common and typically grows in areas with severe water damage. Regardless of the type, you should not ignore any mold infestation in your home.

No, if you have paper towels or rags that are soaked in mineral spirits, you can’t throw them out like you normally would with household trash. When contaminated in this way, such objects are deemed hazardous waste and can only legally be disposed of with a hazardous waste collection program.

If your roof was constructed between 1930 and 1970, there’s a possibility that the shingles contain asbestos. If that’s the case, you should hire a professional for repairs and replacement, as they’ll have the necessary equipment to stay safe from such a hazardous and cancer-causing substance. If your home was constructed after this period, it’s unlikely that the shingles in place are toxic. In most cases, asbestos shingles are not recyclable, while standard asphalt shingles are recyclable.
