"They were prompt in showing up, but did not have enough equipment at first. They first secured the job and then slowly brought equipment from other jobs. The staff were very hardworking and experienced - no issues there. However, after sales support was lacking. For example they left their dumpster in my driveway for a week and could not schedule a pickup until and i called and called. They did not send me the paperwork after the work was done. Nor was there any follow up calls or emails to see how everything went. They are always on the hunt for the next job and there isn't time to make sure the customer is satisfied."

Mold is everywhere, but elevated levels in your property can cause serious health problems. Even if the mold is non-toxic, it still needs to be removed because the mold spores will still be present. If your property has a mold problem we have the knowledge and instrumentation to find it.

When you have mold, making the correct decisions right away is critical. Whether it?s mold in your home, school, place of work or apartment there are many factors to consider. Will you be seeking property damages? Is anyone sick from mold exposure? Do you just want to test to be sure your environment is safe? Do you need Post Mold Remediation Testing to ensure a good job was done? These and other factors are questions which need to be answered before any environmental testing starts. It?s important to know what your goals are and why your testing. Different goals require different environmental tests, i.e. medical damages & property damages require different environmental tests to prove your case in court. Tests that a common or inexperienced mold inspector would not typically use or know to use.

"Unfortunately, the company I picked from your list was a bust. I picked Chicago Pest Control a/k/a Healthy Homes USA to come out on March 22nd and his name was Jonathan Tawakali and he was here to treat for bed bugs which he did do and charged $200.00 for inspection and treatment. He said he would be back on April 2nd to follow up which he did not do. I've called him back on three occasions and gone nowhere with getting him back. When he was here to spray the bedroom I told him it was a Select Comfort air mattress and to be careful with the mattress as he slammed the mattress against the wall and tore all the bedding off and threw all if it in a pile on the floor and left a massive mess on the floor for me to clean up along with not putting one of the wheels back on the bed frame which is now being held up with a small can of olives. Later that evening when I went to go to bed the mattress was all soft which it should not have been and I had to add air to the mattress. I'm afraid he might have in some way loosened one of the hoses to the mattress which now needs to be fixed. Very disappointed with this fella and not at all happy with his work and the mess I've been left with. I normally put air in the mattress maybe about every two months. Now I have to put air in the mattress about every 3 days which tells me something is not right. If I have replace the mattress, these days this particular mattress goes for over $1,000.00. I would really like to get fresh bedding on the bed and get the bed and bedding back where it should be. I'm tired of sleeping in a pig pen every night. This has been going since March 22nd - 15 days!! I don't think this is "Rocket Science""

"These are the ultimate pros! After having a sump pump in stalled in my over 100 year old home I needed the basement rehabbed from years of neglect—particularly mold under knotty pine paneling and a drop ceiling that was no longer intact. Over 3 days all the paneling and failing drop ceiling were removed, the walls were treated to remove the mold and painted. Now my basement looks great, smells fresh and I couldn’t be happier. The price was completely fair, the work was started and completed as promised—great experience with a great result"

Biohazard remediation services FAQs
There are several instances where household biohazard cleanup would be needed. All in all, anytime an event can potentially expose people to chemicals, pathogens, or viruses, a biohazard cleanup company must be called. These events can include:
Sewage backup
Unattended death or crime scene after death
Virus decontamination
Medical waste disposal
Animal waste disposal
Odor control
Hazardous chemical removal
The cost of biohazard cleanup averages between $3,000 and $5,000 for most homeowners. Some services, like sanitizing high-traffic areas or sanitizing surfaces from a virus, cost closer to $1,500. However, other circumstances, like the extensive cleanup after a major sewer backup, could cost as much as $25,000.
While a biohazard cleanup sounds like a scary process, knowing what to expect can help ease your concerns and set you up for success. It’s good to note that more than one professional might be needed depending on your situation, but that will be determined during the assessment. What you can expect during a home biohazard cleanup is the following:
Assessment: The first step in this process is for a biohazard cleanup professional to assess the damage. They create a report that includes the biohazard safety level, the needed damage cleanup, and the time it should take to complete the project.
Setup: The cleanup professional prepares the site to prevent cross-contamination and reduce toxicity risk. This process can include tarping and creating decontamination zones.
Removal of surface contamination: Any contaminated materials are removed from the area, starting with large materials followed by small ones. The professional can assess any floor-related damage once everything is removed from the site.
Salvaging items: The biohazard cleanup professionals assess which items can be saved and which are contaminated beyond the point of saving. Those deemed unsafe will be disposed of immediately.
Waste disposal: The next step is carefully disposing of the hazardous waste. Your professional will place the contaminated items in specific containers to keep the contamination from spreading.
Disinfection: The house will be disinfected and odor-neutralized. Even more minor details, like light switches and bulbs, will be disinfected so that they do not recontaminate the area in the future.
Restoration: Once the decontamination is complete, the last step is to restore the home. This includes repairing the damage to flooring, walls, or even the home's foundation.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies can help cover the cost of biohazard cleanings for specific events. Biohazard events like unattended death, infectious disease, and medical emergency are generally covered, as are flooring and drywall repairs. It’s best to check with your insurance company to see what is specifically covered.
One of the best ways to prepare for a home biohazard cleanup is not to touch anything. Do not remove belongings, even if they are of value or importance, from the area as they are likely contaminated. It’s essential not to use any cleaning products of your own, as the cleaning company will be using chemicals that could interact with your products.
One thing you can do to prepare is take pictures of your space and belongings that need to be cleaned, especially if you plan on filing a claim with your insurance company. In addition, take time to make a list of items that are valuable, sentimental, or otherwise important. The cleanup company must evaluate these belongings to make sure they are safe.
