"First off, don’t hesitate to call Jasen at Blue Sky Inspections! I was surprised at how knowledgeable Jasen and his crew were regarding every aspect of mold remediation and restoration, everything from testing, extraction, and sanitation, he understands it completely! Jasen is so understanding and compassionate of the health issues that come with living in an environment where mold is present and he takes it very seriously! You honestly won’t find another person or company out there that will treat you like they truly care, because they absolutely do!"

"Spencer went out of his way to schedule my project because I was feeling quite ill and thought the illness might be from mold spores found in lab tests."

"Terrific - huge relief! Wish now that I had not procrastinated getting an estimate. I simply had no time previously and now that I had 2 weeks' time off for the Christmas holiday season, decided I would undertake what I assumed would be the unpleasant task of researching companies, securing an estimate, and beginning to face what I was sure was a significant mold problem. I have a 58 year-old home (which we love and hope to remain in forever - as we moved here for the ranch layout and hardwoods - perfect for 2 family members in wheelchairs). Unfortunately, our beautiful but older home has old, corroding copper pipes in the walls - and pipe in the wall beneath kitchen sink had a few leaks that leaked over time into the wall. After plumbers cut open sheetrock to repair sections of leaking copper pipe (twice) ...as the home warranty plan we have is great and covers removal and replacement of corroded sections of copper pipe for a small co-pay (but only covers removal & replacement of a few inches of pipe around the corroded area rather than covering replacement of the entire 5 ft run of pipe) and we've had a couple sections of pipe in the wall under sink replaced. Each time a section of pipe was replaced, plumbers opened up more sheet rock in the area to expose the pipe - which also exposed mold on a 2 x 4 and insulation in that area. Plumbers had also quoted cost of replacing the entire run of pipe - just in case I ever decide to replace my lower kitchen cabinets, noting that would be a good time to get rid of the entire run of copper pipe. So - back to the mold issue I had avoided for so long, assuming it would be expensive. After getting a few names of mold remediation companies from Angie's List, I quickly read the reviews & noticed several reviews for Advanta Clean of Kansas City mentioned this was not a company looking to secure work if professional assistance was not truly needed and often simply provide a recommendation and advice on how the homeowner can take care of their smaller-than-anticipated work on their own and avoid costly repairs. Reading the reviews provided some relief, and I hoped to get a visit and free estimate from Kevin, as reviews of him were really good. What I actually experienced when Kevin visited our home can't easily be described. My worries and concerns were immediately alleviated. Kevin was highly professional, describing national guidelines recommendations, noting our issue was less substantial than we had thought, and provided 3 different approaches that could be taken - detailing each. The first approach (and one he recommended) was free - simply cleaning up the area ourselves with vinegar and allow it to dry well, along with using a dehumidifier in the house (as humidity was reading high). The second approach (if uncomfortable cleaning the small area of mold on our own) was in the $350 range plus cost for asbestos testing (necessary in a home of our age to ensure crews would be safe while completing repairs) with asbestos testing through an independent company of our choosing (though Kevin could provide info if needed) running ~$400 (this entire second approach was deemed an unnecessary but available option by Kevin), and the third approach was ~$1200 (which covered a significant amount of work...removing lower kitchen cabinets, all sheetrock & insulation behind them, cleaning up the area and using HEPA fans) which Kevin noted was an 'aggressive' but available approach - should we prefer that. I had feared hearing $5k to $6k - so had done nothing for far too long. I wish I had called earlier!! I now have a plan that costs me nothing for now - which I feel safe with (priceless). And, since I already intended to pull out & replace lower kitchen cabinets after saving up a bit (& also replace the 5 ft run of copper pipe in the wall that started all these issues) I now have a solid idea of what it will cost to do the level of agressive mold remediation that I prefer to do (pulling out/checking/replacing insulation near the area) - once I'm ready to be without a functioning kitchen for a bit. Meanwhile, I am very comfortable managing the small area of visible mold on my own. And, will definitely be calling Kevin at AdvantaClean whenever I get around to replacing my lower kitchen cabinets, to do the level of unnecessary but precautionary checking I'd prefer to do. An outstanding, highly professional company that I will be using in the future, and would recommend to friends and family. THANKS!!"

"I hired Restoration Services to inspect an odor issue in my basement. They tested the air and surfaces and determined that we had mold. They remediated the mold and then performed post testing to confirm. The mold was completely completely gone. I feel very comfortable that our mold issue has been resolved."

"They are doing tests and we await results."

"If you want to be educated about mold, listen to Pony. He has a wealth of information and experience. He spent numerous hours explaining everything to us and answering many of our questions. In fact he found mold under our basement exterior walls that had plastic vapor barrier over the insulation. It was turning black. This was not even identified by a previou mold inspection we had done in September 2020 by a different company. Pony identified that when our house was built in 1990 builders installed this plastic vapor barrier and presently it doesn't pass code in Kansas. Our humid climate helped promote this mold growth. The rest of the crew, Marie, Ben, Cameron, Alexis and others were always professional, on time and kept me informed during the remediation. We had ERMI & HERTSMI testing before which showed a very high rate recommending we not be in our home. Fortunately our post ERMI score was in the negatives which proved the successful remediation by SMART Restoration. I highly recommend this company. You won't be disappointed!"

"Jason and Jeremy worked with us to ensure the work was completed quickly. They explained what they were seeing, recommended testing to identify extent of damage and used the inspection to begin removal and cleanup. They sent pictures throughout the process which showed the extent of the water damage and mold. They had all damaged areas removed and cleaned in less than half a day. Thank you Jason and Jeremy for your assistance, expertise and professionalism!!"

"Tyler was very efficient and we got results back the next day He was very quick in giving us recommendations for remediation companies."

"I cannot thank Spencer enough! He was very patient with me, as I have been suffering terribly. I knew I had toxic mold in my apartment. Spencer did lot's of test. He spent 2.5 hours working, testing air, taking samples and answering my questions. He listened to me. He was so compassionate about what I have been going through for the past couple years. I was asking allot of questions and he was not rushing me, to just get in and get out. I really needed to understand and clarify lot's of things. Spencer was that clarity I have been looking for. He really helped me understand how bad water damage toxic mold can be. I really wasn't crazy! I'll tell you, I have reached out to quite a few mold inspection companies and I knew the minute I first spoke to him, he was the guy I needed to do my testing. Spencer came highly recommended from allot of friends on Facebook. If you want integrity, honesty, direction, clarity, understanding, a very thorough inspection and just a great guy, give him a call. I thank God, that I found him. What a blessing Thank you Spencer"

"I called around to a couple of places for mold testing and this company was the most affordable for what I needed. He was quick to come out and test and worked efficiently and effectively while here! Great communication and would definitely recommend them."
