He was frank and open about the potential risks/costs that this might represent. The rest of his inspection and inspection report were extremely detailed, well written, and useful.

We are family of four with two kids, ages 5 & 8.
On 11/21/2011, I received a phone call from Jeff Graves, estimator with Alliance Restoration. Jeff was cordial on the phone and offered to come to our house immediately that morning to survey the damage. I met with him that day and gave him the go ahead to start on our project. By that afternoon, Jeff had sent out a technician, Ray Sprague who began the mitigation process in our kitchen. Ray dropped off industrial drying equipment that day and set them up to begin pulling moisture from the floor. The rest of that week, Ray tore out the lower kitchen cabinets, the kitchen floor, and part of the damaged walls.
That first week, we were very impressed with Alliance's hard work ethic. Ray was there that first Monday, and every day for the next 6 days that week (except for Thanksgiving day). During that week, Ray found mold which complicated things, but he continued to display professionalism. As part of the mold clean up, Ray added a HEPA filter to the work going on, and sealed off the areas with mold present to prevent the spores spreading throughout our house. Ray also recommended and we sought a third party air test to ensure mold had been taken care of. During this first week, we had not heard from Jeff again but were not concerned.
Monday, 11/28/2011, Jeff called and stated he would have the cabinet guy out the following day to work up a quote for new cabinets. Tuesday, 11/29/2011- no word from Jeff Wed, 11/30/2011 - I called Jeff, left message - no word from Jeff Thurs, 12/01/2011 - I called Jeff, left message - no word from Jeff Friday, 12/02/2011 - Ray came by with a third party air quality testing company - who provided results the following week that we had passed.
Monday, 12/05/2011 - Jeff called, apologized and blamed delay on cabinet maker, said he would call back later that day to schedule cabinet maker for next day. No further word from Jeff that day - this would be last time I ever spoke with Jeff. Tuesday, 12/06/2011 - no word from Jeff Wednesday, 12/07/2011 - no word from Jeff, Ray comes in to "fix" insulation under house, picks up equipment, and seals floor with paint. Wife explains our frustration to Ray regarding Jeff - per Ray, Jeff told Ray that Jeff would call us later that afternoon. Per Ray, Jeff would be bringing cabinet guy on Thursday. No word from Jeff Thursday, 12/08/2011 - No word from Jeff Friday, 12/09/2011 - Mike Sedia (or Fedia?), supervisor (Jeff's boss) with Alliance calls. I explained our frustration with the lack of communication from Jeff. Mike stated that he would be handling our project from now on. Mike scheduled cabinet maker to come out Tuesday, 12/13/2011.
Tuesday, 12/13/2011 - Mike comes with cabinet & floor guy. Mike mentions that Jeff will be finishing quote after we have specifically requested not to have him on job any more and Mike has stated that he would be handling it from here on out.
Wednesday, 12/14/2011 - Insurance company calls and states that Jeff with Alliance has notified her that quote would be uploaded to her by Thursday, 12/15/2011. I told them this was news to me as we had not heard from Alliance (big surprise)
Monday, 12/19/2011 - I called Mike with Alliance to check on quote. Mike said Jeff would call me back, that quote was in process.
Thursday, 12/22/2011 - Quote uploaded to insurance company - found out when insurance company called me.
Friday, 12/23/2011 - we received copy of mitigation (water repair) & remediation (mold repair) bills as well as repair / reconstruct bill. Immediately I noticed numerous multiple items that Alliance has claimed they have fixed but were not. They claimed removal and disposal of flooring in two different rooms - both of which still had original floor. They claimed they had moved furniture in several rooms - while they had moved furniture from one room - the overall charge was inaccurate.
This launched us into process between insurance company and Alliance Restoration disputing what had and had not been done.
In February, I hired a new contractor who quoted $6,333 for the remaining work needing to be completed that Alliance had said they finished but did not. Sometime that week we learn that Jeff Graves was no longer employed with Alliance Restoration and that he had a family emergency that affected our job.
Update, March 2012 - after an unrelated plumbing repair - our new contractor finds that Alliance used wall insulation in floor and also left at least four large garbage bags of wet insulation in our house. They were left underneath the kitchen. Whether this was accidental or intentional, it is unacceptable. See uploaded pics... Further, the crawl space insulation they installed using staples and left large gaps between the bats of insulation - rendering the insulation useless for its intended purpose"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wa/redmond/alliance-restoration-services-inc-reviews-2282663.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Cascade Radon Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"OR","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Colin W."},"reviewBody":"Cascade Radon advertises that they provide a manual and radon testing kit with systems they install.

Lacking a testing kit, it is difficult to independently judge the effectiveness of the radon mitigation system. I attempted to contact the company to request a manual and testing kit, but it took several attempts via e-mail and phone over the course of a week to get a response. The representative that I spoke to agreed to e-mail me a copy of the manual and to drop off a testing kit in my mailbox. It's months later, and I haven't heard or seen anything from them yet.

FAQs for mold testing and remediation projects in Happy Valley, OR
Some states require mold removal specialists to be licensed, while others require licensed mold testing companies to create remediation protocols that any contractor can carry out. You can use our state licensing tool to find requirements in your area. In either case, it’s imperative that you hire an experienced professional for mold removal to ensure the safety of your home and your family.
It’s possible to scrub mold off of visible surfaces yourself, but it’s not usually a good idea. Mold is not only a potential health risk, but it’s also difficult to treat in its entirety, especially because it can grow behind walls and in other hidden areas a DIYer might miss. Since mold is a serious and often pervasive issue, you should hire a professional that will remove all of the mold—including any that might be hidden—run industrial air scrubbers to remove airborne particles, and complete mold testing to ensure the underlying problem is solved.
The most effective way to remove mold includes testing affected surfaces and the air for spores, creating a protocol for removal, carrying out the steps within the protocol, running air scrubbers for the recommended amount of time, and then completing a post-remediation round of testing to confirm the issue is solved. Since this work is very involved and there are health risks if done incorrectly, you should always hire an experienced professional to handle mold removal.
The average cost for mold remediation is around $2,200, and most projects fall somewhere between $1,100 and $3,300. Your total will depend on many factors, including the surface area that is affected by mold, the extent of the issue, how much building material your professional needs to replace, whether or not testing is necessary for safety reasons, and existing indoor air quality.
Mold removal will take between one and five days in most cases, but severe mold issues can take several weeks to correct. Your timeline will depend on how much mold there is in your home, where the mold is located, and how much testing and aftercare is required. If you have mold behind your walls or you have an excessive amount of mold that requires removal and running air scrubbers for several days, you could be looking at over a week for the process to be completed.
