MOLD TESTING SERVICES OF OREGON LLC

Very thorough and informative. Excellent service. Would definitely hire again.

Garrett did an outstanding job for us as potential buyers on a property where mold was suspected during the home inspection. The services provided included inspecting the attics and crawlspace, followed by taking both mold and air quality samples. He was very knowledgeable and we found his advice to be quite helpful to us in a difficult situation. The final report was provided within the committed 2 days and was of excellent quality. I would not hesitate to both use & recommend Mold Testing Services in the future.

It went great. Garrett was on time, professional and helpful. We were concerned that we may have mold issues behind our tiles and under our floor in our master bedroom. We also paid extra for the crawlspace inspection to see if we had any water damage under the floor. During the crawlspace inspection Garrett discovered that almost all of our heating ductwork below the house had been severely damaged by animals and needed replacement very soon. We were losing heat and money. We're glad we paid extra for the crawlspace inspection ($50). Our total was $400. The results were timely. Although we are not excited with the mold issues and ductwork issues, we were very pleased with Garrett's work and help. He even took a bit of time to check a leaking washing machine to see if we had any mold in the laundry room (no cost!) We'd definitely use him again but hope we don't ever have to.

Garrett was on time, very professional, explained what he was doing, gave me his thought on why the mold, took air samples then got back to me after the tests results were in.

Garrett came in, explained what he was doing, talked to me about what he saw and gave me his professional opinion of the possible reasons that mold was forming in those 3 areas.

Everything went very well.

Garrett was amazing! He was extremely detail oriented and got our test results back to us in only 2 days. I would highly recommend Garrett to anyone needing a mold inspector!

EVERYTHING went better than expected from beginning to end, from making the appointment, explanation of services, what to expect, to on-time arrival, friendly, professional demeanor, thoroughness of inspection, care for our property, and timeliness of our final report. Also, the pricing was very fair and reasonable. If we ever need this service, we will DEFINITELY use MTSO. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND MTSO to others. Thanks Garrett!!!

Cost cited was only for the post-remediation testing.  Garrett was a thorough professional.  When he went out to test after the remediation, but prior to the home renovations being done he pointed out that this was not an ideal testing situation and he did not charge me for that visit.  I would recommend him and use his services again.

Garrett was professional, thorough and very informative.  During the entire 3+ week project with contractors, insulators etc crawling around in my attic space; it was Garret, and Garrett, alone who brought significant venting and damaged duct work issues to my attention. He  made good recommendations to help me prioritize which problems to repair first and on how to best upgrade my attic space ventilation.
I would have been in for a lot of long term mold, ventilation and air quality troubles without his keen attention to detail, great communication and very solid knowledge base.  Definitely feel you can count on him and would recommend.

The problem was not as bad as we expected, but it did require a bit of cleanup.  Garrett was the one who came, looked at all the rooms and took samplings.  He also looked around the outside of the house to see where moisture could be coming into the house.    After he got the results of his samplings, he gave us a detailed report.  In his report, he listed all the molds that were present and suggested solutions to get rid of the mold.

I would like to comment on the outstanding work that Garrett Dayfield, of Mold Testing of Oregon, did for us while we were in negotiations to purchase a home in Salem, Oregon.
There had been a serious water leak problem and mold in the crawlspace that another excellent company, A 2 Z Inspectors, had uncovered in our pre-purchase home inspection.  After remediation work had been performed by Service Master, we called in Mold Testing of Oregon to get an independent examination of conditions before we were to move to closing on the purchase.
A different testing company I had talked with recommended not testing until all surfaces had been replaced, including putting back insulation in the crawlspace.  I wondered if that made sense.
Repair work had progressed, and insulation was scheduled to be reinstalled in the crawlspace the next day.  Again consulting Angie's List, I called Garrett, of Mold Testing of Oregon for a final mold inspection.  He proposed coming on Friday (this was Monday), and told me that the inspection should really be done before the insulation was reinstalled in the crawlspace, which made good sense to me.  What to do?  We had serious closing deadlines looming as the sellers had already purchased a home in another state, and our lender was getting anxious because the remediation work had dragged on so long.  Serious stress!!
I explained the tough situation to Garrett and offered him a bonus if he could by any chance come out that evening to do the inspection.  Much to my surprise and delight, he graciously agreed to drive the 60 miles to Salem that evening and did moisture and mold testing throughout the house and crawlspace, at 7 pm!!!  He refused all of my bonus offers.
His work was thorough, he took excellent photographs throughout (which allowed us to see the condition of the repairs before they were covered by insulation), checked for moisture, collected 3 mold air samples which he sent to an out-of-state lab for immediate testing, and emailed the complete report to us in 2 days.  As a result, more final "scrubbing" was needed which was immediately scheduled by the company that did the cleanup.  The insulation has been reinstalled.
I cannot recommend Mold Testing of Oregon highly enough.  Garret went way "above the call of duty", with gracious and thorough professionalism at every turn.  If I must face such problems in the future, I most certainly hope to use Garrett Dayfield of Mold Testing of Oregon.  I think he deserves a medal.
Sincerely,
Libbi Albright

Excellent! Would recommend to anyone needing a thrush worthy company to evaluate and consult on mold or moisture issues.
