"My apartment is on the top floor of the building. The fire department broke through the roof, and they filled my apartment with water to put out the fire. They also broke a few walls. The insurance company sent in a fire restoration company to remove my damaged property and the damaged wall, ceiling, and floor materials. However, they were also supposed to clean the remaining walls, floors, and ceilings throughout the apartment that were not damaged/removed.

The building is old, so there is lead paint on most of the walls. As it turns out, the roof membrane contains asbestos, and some of the walls are constructed of cement. The laboratory test results of the samples collected in my apartment indicated that my apartment was contaminated with asbestos from the roof, lead dust from the paint, silica from the cement walls, and mold from water damaged sheetrock surfaces that were not removed. Residual carbon soot was also found on the windowsills in my bedroom.

The Angstrom Mold Inspection Report was very well written, and it included a detailed scope of work for the necessary additional removal and cleaning work that was needed in my apartment. The lab reports documented the presence of contaminants, which substantiated the need for additional work. I gave the Inspection report to my insurance company, and they had the restoration company return to my apartment to perform the necessary additional removal and cleaning work. Then I had the Angstrom Mold Inspection Company return to perform a follow-up inspection and testing, and the lab results came back negative. Thank God!

This company is great, and I fully trust their expertise. Well worth the money."
Ground water infiltration occurred through the concrete slab in two rooms on the ground floor of the house causing water damage and mold growth on the overlying flooring. The cause of the water infiltration appears to be associated with cracks and a crater in the concrete slab, which is believed to have been caused by pile driving work being performed during the construction of an adjacent building.
Mold in HVAC Coil Compartment
Construction/demolition work in an  apartment unavoidably released high levels of dust that migrated into adjacent apartments. Dust containment methods, such as negative air filtration and poly sheeting, should have been used to prevent dust migration into adjoining spaces. Settled dust samples were collected from a table & curtain rod in a nearby apt, which revealed the presence of substantially elevated levels of silica and asbestos in the dust. Asbestos and silica are known carcinogens.

"The rep came out and reviewed the areas of concern.  He gave me an estimate on the spot. The next day I decided to go with JBH and the project was scheduled for the following week.  The workers arrived within the scheduled time period and they were very pleasant to work with. They were responsive, efficient and neat. The job was completed in no time.

"The owner of the company, Phil Tantella, spent time on the phone with me giving me lots of information beyond what his scope involved. He was so helpful and knowledgeable. Working with his company was a good experience from start to finish. The process takes time, and Phil stayed in touch, keeping me up-to-date so I could move forward with other planning."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Radon detection is crucial as prolonged exposure to radon gas, a leading cause of lung cancer, poses significant health risks in residential environments.

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to remediate radon yourself. While a radon reduction professional can make the biggest impact in your home, you can make efforts to improve radon levels on your own by sealing cracks, increasing ventilation, and testing for radon regularly.

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.

Many radon fans carry a five-year manufacturer's warranty. That said, your radon fan should last between five and ten years. Regular inspections will ensure the fan is operating properly. Unusual or exceptional noise coming from the fan or indications on your manometer or system monitor can immediately tell you that something is amiss.

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.
