"The owner called and asked the right questions which gave me the confidence that he would be the right person for the job. He was able to come over on the same day we spoke. He was prompt with communication and solidified that he was the right person to do the job. When it was time to do the job: Arrived on time, did clean work - and finished in a timely fashion. After a 6 hours of testing, my device showed the levels went down tremendously."
"Jose Rodriguez was prompt, professional, and fast with results. He was there when he said he would, went there the next day after I called, and provided the results on time. As a real estate professional I know I'll need the services again and I know that he is the person I will be calling. Thank you!"
"Chuck was thorough, personable, and very helpful. He went above and beyond to give us helpful pointers and information that was beyond the scope of what was required for the inspection. I highly recommend his services! "
"Very easy to get an appointment on short notice when I had limited time to get a radon test done in the process of purchasing a home. Their price was also slightly lower than an estimate I'd received from another company, and the technician was more thorough about explaining the process than the other company I considered."
"The estimator examined the basement walls and identified four cracks through which water might be coming in and gave a quote. We agreed to have the work done. One service man came and filled the cracks in less than the estimated time. The work involved surface patching the cracks on the inside of the wall, drilling approximately six holes through each crack and injecting a sealant into each crack. Since we haven't had a hard rain since then, we haven't had a real test of whether it holds water out. "
