Excellent. Through numerous phone calls, emails and the actual inspection they were professional, responsive and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain and educate us and were of immense support regarding an issue we knew little about but which had a potentially significant impact on cost to repair or even our willingness to purchase the home. Their knowledge, experience, professionalism and honesty were invaluable in our decision making process. Good and conscientious people are harder to find than they should be. Those that are, should be praised and touted.

Owner of company Craig came over to do the inspection with an assistant. I had this done because I was having problems with allergy issues that I never had before. Did a great job going through the house and explaining some issues that might be causing some problems in the house. Was very detailed in his work and took his time and answered all my questions. I liked that he did not force his products or services on you. He wrote a detailed report took lots of pictures and from there made suggestions . Over the last year I have taken care of some of the suggestions and things have improved. I would recommend this company.

"Thank you for taking the time to review our company and our services. It's unfortunate that the post abatement consultant who cleared us and stated that we did an exceptional job gave you the impression that the job could have been done for less. I'm not sure he was aware of everything that went into this job.

We purchased what we thought was our dream home nine years ago. Our stucco home was built by a local builder whom we thought had a good reputation. There have been some neighbors who have had problems with the windows leaking and some have had their stucco removed.
With all the talk lately about stucco homes and the problems they present we decided to see if we had something to worry about. We plan to downsize in the near future and our home is a huge junk of our retirement plan. We got a recommendation from a neighbor who had used this company. We called their office and the gentleman who answered the phone (on a Saturday) spent at least thirty minutes on the phone explaining the process. We made an appointment and Craig and his techs showed up on time. While some of the guys started working outside, Craig went over a lot of articles and diagrams of how stucco should be applied inside with us. They spent a considerable amount of time getting moisture readings behind the stucco. The infr red camera that Craig has actually looked inside the walls for moisture. Unfortunately, they did find problems. At least 25% of what they inspected has problems. They went into the basement and found wood that was not only wet, but was black and there was mold.
We received a very detailed report with all the information they had collected.

We have used this vendor in the past with good results. We called them and they came out and looked at the problem. Kevin used a lot of equipment and figured out what was wrong. It turned out that we had a leak from the upstairs bathroom that impacted the powder room below as well as the basement. He came up with a plan to fix it. They came out on the scheduled day and worked hard covering and protecting floors, moving furniture and putting up plastic barriers to prevent the spread of mold.
The owner of the company, Craig came out during the process and gave us a lot of tips on how to prevent mold and some really good ideas as to how to rebuild the basement. He pointed some things that they found that indicated we had some ground water coming into the basement. Certainly not something we wanted to hear, but the visible evidence was compelling. He's going to put together a quote to do the waterproofing work and to remodel the basement. I've always wanted another bathroom and I may get it.

We've used this company in the past and had great results. We had some flooding in the basement of our house and I guess we didn't clean it up fast enough and we ended up with a mold problem.
Dennis came out and looked at what happened and gave us a price to remove the mold. We settled on a day to start and then had to cancel as my dad got sick. The girl in the office was very nice and Garey was very accommodating and even scheduled the crew to start on a Saturday to make it easier on us.
The crew that came out were very professional. The foreman Kevin introduced himself, went over the job with us and made sure he had a clear understanding of what we expected and what they planned to do. They took great care with a couple of antique pieces of furniture that my grandmother had given us. Everything that was damaged was removed and the place was spotless when they got done.

The crew arrived on time. They did their work in a timely fashion. They began when they were supposed to and ended when they were supposed to. They fulfilled every aspect of the contract and more. They were courteous and professional. They were careful to protect carpets and hardwood floors from heavy equipment.

They did a home evaluation using a moisture meter. I requested sampling in a certain bedroom, and Craig assured me that it would be a waste of money. The contractors (another company) took down the damaged portion of drywall I was concerned about, and have yet to find the end of the extensive mold. Basically everything Craig told me about that room was completely wrong. Since he talked me out of sampling, the whole evaluation was a waste of a few hundred dollars.
Response from Advanced Mold Diagnostics Inc
"Angie's List offers a unique forum for catharsis, allowing an individual to express their emotions, this can be a blessing and a curse all at the same time. I do appreciate the fact that you returned my call today so that we could discuss where we failed you, if indeed we did. In your initial call to my office, you had expressed to my staff that you were interested in sampling for mold. While performing the assessment with a $20,000. thermal imager backed up with moisture meters I documented that the area was dry. When mold spores are deprived of moisture they no longer have the ability to produce toxic by-products, although they’re still allergenic. We determined that the areas with visible water damage and mold growth were so obvious, that sampling would have been a blatant waste of your money. This logic is based upon EPA recommendations that if there is visible mold growth there is no need to sample. I gave you instructions on how to open the wall up while protecting your contractor in an effort to Save you money. I told you that you could take digital photos of the areas opened up and I would stay with you through this process. The fact that there was more mold growth inside of the wall cavity then you expected is not my fault. Craig Camel President Advanced Mold Diagnostics Advanced Stucco Inspection"

We are renovating an historic 8,000 sf carriage house in Haverford, PA. When the property is completed we will put the house up for sale for $3.3 million. It is a Tudor style architecture with the typical stucco and board construction. We want to be certain that when we sell the house the stucco is okay. When it comes to stucco, you have to know how good your stucco is because buyers and their agents want to know and will often require a stucco inspection. If you've already had one done, the buyer may very well insist on using someone else. So we wanted our inspector to be good. He was early for the appointment, nicely dressed, well spoken and took a good 45 minutes to explain our stucco situation to us. We were lucky, there was nothing at all wrong with our stucco. Because he was able to determine that relatively quickly, he said there was no charge.

Work was done when promised and in the timeframe designated. The work was needed, without question, but confirmed by their professional pre-diagnosis. Their supervisor was constantly on-site and every member of the team did their jobs in a meticulous manner. All phases of the work were done with the same professionalism, from pre-planning through tear down, remediation and cleanup. Their work also included removing some very unwieldy objects from the basement. While not necessarily the cheapest, they clearly earned their asking price. We were very pleased and would not hesitate to hire them again.

We hired Advanced Mold Diagnostics to do a whole house mold assessment/inspection. We suspected mold on the pitched ceiling of the master bedroom and wanted it tested to come up with a solution of its removal. Also, the week before the mold appointment, we had a water leak in our attic, so we specifically wanted that area checked as well. Craig and his assistant efficiently checked the whole house revealing that a couple pieces of furniture had mold beginning to grow on them. Craig visually looked at the suspected mold in the master bedroom saying he couldn't be sure if it was mold, couldn't use their equipment to test because the track lighting had recently been on so the area was too hot, and couldn't get a close look because they didn't bring a ladder that was tall enough. As for the guest room ceiling, he said he did see the beginning of mold growth in the attic where the leak occurred. A few days later I tried to call Craig to inquire about them doing mold removal, I was directed me to someone else in the company who said they were too busy to perform work. Overall, they did not give me any resolutions to my main concern.
Response from Advanced Mold Diagnostics Inc
"I'm always a bit sad when we have the occasional dissatisfied customer, especially when we have a satisfaction guarantee that we will re-perform any assessment without additional charge if a client isn't satisfied. I do recall the situation with the cathedral ceiling in your bedroom. There are three ways that I would check to see if what was on your ceiling was dust or mold. First, we would use a thermal imager to see if has a temperature anomaly that would indicate moisture, we couldn't because the heat from the track lighting obstructed any readings. Second, we would utilize a moisture meter to see if the area was wet and third, we would visually look at it up close and consider taking a sample. Two and three were prohibitive because this area was about 12' high. All my consultants including myself carry, 4', 6' and 9' ladders for indoor air quality assessments and obviously these wouldn't work. With all that being said, I should have done a better job.In hindsight I could have come back when the lights were off for a couple of hours and used a thermal imager to see if it was wet. I believe we talked about bringing in a 24' ladder, but I was concerned about banging walls bringing it in. I'm not sure what happened when you called in, our ACT database doesn't have any record of calls other then your initial, but that doesn't mean you didn't. As Garey Brooks my general manager explained on the phone the other day we would be willing to come back out anytime you want.

We found this company after we had already contracted with
someone else to do the mold remediation.
We hired them to do a whole house evaluation and give an after-the-fact
second opinion. They freely spoke about what they felt the other company did
right and what Advanced Mold might have done differently without a suggestion
of ripping the competition. These guys
are more than mold people. They look at
themselves as more like building scientists.
They have an impressive client listand gave us a good information
packet. They used some of the latest
technology to find air leaks, moisture behind walls etc. These are the people that teach other mold
removal services. The president
answered my questions by phone even though he had quite the busy schedule. Some of the questions involved
rebuilding?building codes vs the latest theories in the very fluid mold
information area. From my personal
experience, I have no problem offering a recommendation.

I had called a contractor to evaluate the problem in my basement which consisted of visible mold growth on drywall and furnishings. He could not determine the cause of the problem and felt it was beyond his expertise. I then called AMD to inspect my home and the owner, Craig Camel, performed a detailed inspection lasting approx. 4 hours. He found mold growth not only in the basement but throughout the house and showed me the mold growing behind furniture, under beds, etc. He submitted a proposal for remediation in a timely manner. I then contacted another mold remediation company for a second quote which was a bit higher and also involved my contracting for a plumber and HVAC specialist which, aside from the difficulty of finding someone and coordinating the work with the mold remediation, it would also involve extra costs above the quoted price. As well, his process for remediation was different in some respects from AMD. I chose AMD primarily because the owner, Craig Camel, seemed extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and professional.
Because of the extent of the problem, the remediation lasted about 2 weeks. I saw Craig on a daily basis as he checked in on the progress of the work. He kept a close eye on all the activity. His staff were wonderful, polite and respectful of my home and understanding of the disruption the work caused and doing their utmost to be as unobtrusive as possible. Craig also took the time to explain the process in detail and answer my many questions. The remediation was not a pleasant experience by any means but Craig and his employees made it as smooth as possible. Honestly, I have never worked with a contractor that was so good.
I am grateful that I used AMD for my mold remediation and I want to thank Craig and his staff for the wonderful service that I received on my home. The care that they took with my personal belongings, regardless of their value, as well as the knowledge and expertise that they were able to provide throughout the process truly made me feel confident and at ease with the work being done on my home. Not only did they do a fantastic job of getting rid of the mold in my home, but Craig provided me with tons of advice on how to prevent a recurrence of the problem. As much as it was a joy to work with an honest, professional company such as AMD, I hope I never have to call them again! I highly recommend AMD for any mold related problem. You'd be getting the best.

In short, he talks a lot and does little work. I want inspectors who inspect and document thoroughly and do not spend a lot of time talking about a) their experiences with other clients, b) the gadgetry that they are using, c) the remediation process, etc.
Professionals get to the job at hand and then issue a detailed report without a lot of stories and narrative including negative judgements of other inspectors/remediators. This provider did not work in this manner.
I think the stucco remediation business is booming and is being fed by such inspectors who will almost always recommend complete stripping and replacement of your stucco. If you have stucco and live in the NE, its almost a forgone conclusion that an inspector will find problems - the only real solution to which is complete removal and replacement of your stucco.
They will cite the various construction flaws. Does anyone really believe that their house will pass all building codes? Come on. I am an engineer and know that construction of anything ALWAYS involves compromise. Stucco is just a bad technique due to the ease with which water can get trapped behind the stucco, even if all steps are followed properly. If you're building a house, do not use stucco. If you have a stucco house, well, hope for the best but sooner or later you're going to have water intrusion and you're going to need to get it fixed.
Save yourself the $200/hr that these guys charge and do the following:
Buy a moisture meter and check the moisture level of the wood in your basement, where the plywood or particle board (pressboard?) meets the foundation. If the moisture levels are high (above 15%) or you see mold, you have water intrusion and will need to fix the problem, which in many cases will be water leakage near a window.
IMHO, do not spend the additional $2500 for the "thorough" inspection that involves drilling holes in your stucco to look for signs of water intrusion. If water is trapped behind your stucco, it will seep into the wood cladding and eventually reach the lowest point - the basement, or it may seep into your home through the drywall.

"Thank you for writing a review and sharing your feelings. Part of my job is to educate my clients. It’s a fine line that I have to tread when doing this. In my opinion it is relevant for people to be aware that there are stucco contractors out there who simply don’t know what they’re doing. Included in the price of the assessment is information and knowledge about the remediation process and that’s something you should expect. As for spending time explaining how my equipment works, I’ve found that people want to know how we arrive at our opinions, especially if the end result is that it’s an expensive fix. I disagree that stucco is a “bad technique”. Stucco installed correctly is a great cladding system. With all due respect, would you have known to purchase a moisture meter or to go in the basement and take readings if you had not hired me to do so? I will take to heart your feedback when educating future stucco homeowners. Craig Camel Advanced Mold Diagnostics Advanced Stucco Inspection"

After five weeks of construction our home has a brand new look and we're very happy and grateful to Craig and his staff at Advanced Stucco Inspection.
The story begins last year. After witnessing my neighbors trying to address issues with water penetration into their homes, I started to become concerned about what might be happening behind our stucco.
My due diligence in finding a company suited to deal with my specific issues lead me to Advanced Stucco Inspections. I telephoned them and arranged for an inspection. Craig Camel came out and cited numerous deficiencies in how our stucco was applied. He was able to test some wood under our stucco, from the basement. Our test showed that we had moisture. The tested wood was wet. That test along with Craig's comprehensive assessment was enough of an indication to me that my stucco had failed and was in need of removal. I must say that I was impressed with Craig's knowledge of stucco and stucco homes. It was obvious very early in the process that he is passionate about what he does and that he empathizes with homeowners like me who are left holding the proverbial "short end of the stick".
After several months of wrestling with the decision of whether or not to spend a lot of money to fix what the builder did wrong, we pulled the trigger. We went with Craig despite obtaining other estimates that were less money. It was always apparent that Craig felt we shouldn't have to go through this process on a 13 year old home.
We were shocked at the amount of damage that was present once they removed the stucco. Craig did an excellent job keeping us informed every step of the way. There were many obstacles that presented themselves throughout this process and Craig had a solution for every one of them.
As I write this, I am watching the shutters go back on, the flower beds being cleaned and the final touches being put on our brand new home that is sure to be the envy of our neighbors.

We just bought a house in the Art Museum neighborhood, and this is the last thing we expected. The water line leading to the toilet was slowly leaking and created a water bubble above our dining room. Even worse, it was happening over a few weeks and created quite a bit of mold in our ceilings and along our walls. Craig, the owner, came over the day after our call (which I was surprised about, because summer is a busy time for everyone). He came in with a bunch of gadgets and spent about 3 hours going through every single room and explaining what was affected and how to fix it. Craig was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He made the process easy. After we get our insurance provider to notify us of coverage, we plan to use Advanced Mold Diagnostics for the clean-up. Go with his company - You won't regret it.
