"I had significant water intrusion into my garage and a bathroom, which is underneath my kitchen, during the tropical storm last fall. There had also been some previous water damage as well. I used Angie's list deal to get mold testing done. Aaron showed up at the scheduled time and completed the testing. In a few days, he sent me the results of the testing and a quote on remediation. Fortunately the mold was minor,, however the damage was still significant so I contracted to fix the damage. The work took about three days. They used vapor barrier and fans to keep the air contained in the garage as they removed the drywall and insulation, treated the mold that they found. They replaced the insulation and put up new drywall using quality materials. Overall, the work went smooth. The workers were timely, professional and took good care of my home."
"A two-man team worked very efficiently to remove each vent cover and vacuum inside the vent openings throughout the townhouse. One man removed the vent covers while the other man vacuumed inside the vent openings. No problems with how they worked but I think there are other companies who perform a more thorough cleaning of ductwork using other methods. This company did a superficial cleaning and worked very quickly. In and out within an hour.

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.
