"Chris was WONDERFUL! I just purchased a home and wanted to have a mold inspection done for peace of mind. Chris took time to explain the process and put my fears at ease with his vast knowledge. He reviewed the test results with me prior to closing which gave me the peace of mind I needed to confirm I was making a good purchase and great investment. I highly recommend Mid Atlantic Commercial Residential Real Estate Solutions. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS!!"

"For the removal of large scale mold and mildew, I recommend you contact RaShaun Murphy of Home Remedies. He recently undertook the task of removing the mold and mildew which had been slowly but steadily growing in my basement over the last several years. Some drywall was seriously affected as were most of the wooden shelves and nearly every other poress surface in that space. Mr. Murphy came to my home and performed a thorough assessment of the damage and provided me with a detailed description of what needed to be done and the cost necessary to make the space safe and inhabitable. He worked quickly and within my budget without compromising the quality of service. It's refreshing to see someone so dedicated to their profession and the work ethic not to just do the job but make things as they should be. I hope I never need remediation services again, but if I do, I know who to call!

"I knew there was mold in the corner of the basement, but when a heat pump cleaning showed that it was spreading throughout the house,  I decided to do something about it right away.  Jumping to the end of the story--the black mold has been removed and the areas seems ok.  Mr. Johnson of Environmental Trust Solutions recommended having the air quality tested and I plan to do that.
However my experience with Environmental Trust Solutions was far from satisfactory.  My first mistake was failing to read carefully the reviews on Angie's List.  I just called and asked to have the mold problem evaluated.  My next mistake was accepting Mr. Johnson's response that he would come the very next day and bring a crew with him..
He came as promised.  He said they could take care of the mold problem and described what would be done.  Another mistake on my part was not insisting on a written estimate or agreement.  He did not offer anything written.  He gave me a price which I suspected was too high, but I must have stopped thinking by that time and accepted it.
So they went to work and as far as I can tell did an acceptable job.  They used a machine with a plastic tube to vent the moldy air.  They had to replace one stud and a section of the wall board.  They used a water proofing material on the affected area and on an adjacent section of the wall for good measure.  They cleaned up very well.
Mr. Johnson emailed me a certificate of completion.  It says his work is guaranteed, provided there is no leakage.  He did not say anything about the condition of the soil outside this part of the basement wall that could cause leakage.  But I plan to have that checked also.  

This company did the job I paid them for in spite of my doubts. I followed the recommendation to have another company test for mold several days later. The other company confirmed that everything is fine and my basement is free of mold.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

Some of the signs that could mean your water is contaminated, such as cloudiness or bubbliness, could also be non-problems that don’t affect your water’s potability. However, if your water smells or tastes strange, it’s a good idea to stop drinking it and test it immediately. If your well water is contaminated, the best way to discover that is to test it.

Lead testing prior to purchasing a property ensures that the new owners are informed about potential hazards, prevents health risks associated with lead poisoning, and facilitates timely remediation.
