We had our crawl space encapsulated and a dehumidifier installed in the crawl space. The work appears to be of good quality. I only had one reoccurring issue: communication. Getting the quote was easy and the site the review was thorough and professional. When comparing contractors and asking questions, I did get timely responses from BioTek (same day or next day). The day the work was supposed to start I took the day off. The time came and went with no one showing up. Apparently there was a scheduling issue and the crew wasn't notified, but I also was not contacted until I reached out to find out what was going on. When they were actually scheduled, they again did not arrive at the appointed time (no contact with me) but did come a couple hours later. Once they started the work, they worked very diligently and stayed later into the evening to complete the job. The crew was very professional in their interactions with me, and they cleaned up after themselves. After this portion of the job was done, again there was a lack of communication on when the other crew would come to install the electrical outlet for the dehumidifier and the crawlspace door. I also had to remind them to come back and install the fasteners attaching the vapor barrier to the wall. A couple weeks passed without contact (I had not paid anything at this point), and they finally scheduled this punch list work. However, when the day came the crawl space door had not come in yet so they had to reschedule again. When they finally did finish this portion of the work they reached out for payment, understandably. I still had one issue with the custom crawl space door not having a tight fit. I was still asked to go ahead and pay so they could close the job out but that they would stop by one day and install a fastener to close the gap in the door. Having been a couple months at this point I do not expect anyone to come out, so I'll probably just handle myself. Overall I would still hire again due to the quality of the work that was performed. It is unfortunate that many contractors seem to have this issue with communication, and I'm not sure how much better another company would have been. I trust the craftsmanship of the work that was completed and do not expect to have any issues with it.

Please accept our apology regarding communication! It is something that frustrates us all and we do not ever want a customer to feel that they were not provided with the best information and response at all times. Please reach out to me directly and I promise to see that any needs you have are taken care of. We are very happy that you are so satisfied with the work that was done, as we do pride ourselves on that! If there is anything that I can do to assist you, my direct line is 803-399-9930. Again, we are happy that the end result met all expectations and your annual inspection is coming up, so I will be sure to add a note to check that everything is done to your expectations.

They really went the extra mile. Happy to recommend them to patients and to colleagues. Before applying double membrane barrier they discovered ground water level was the problem. Brought in 2 consultants and solved the problem with outdoor buried pump to move water to existing system to drain into marshland. Then applied membrane. Also reduced humidity in garage.

BioTek responded the next day when we called with a concern, which was much appreciated. I had called a few other companies that could not come out for over a week. They were professional and honest, which resulted in no cost to us and no service from them at this time. We appreciated the honesty and the assistance with figuring out what needed to be done. We will definitely recommend BioTek to others and contact them for service if we need them in the future (hopefully we don't!). What a great experience with a good company! Thank you!
Description of Work: We noticed some mold growing around our air vents and in the garage ceiling. We called BioTek and they responded the next day. They came out to our house and did a thorough assessment of our problem areas. Ryan went through his assessment with us and helped calm our fears about mold in our house (he wasn't concerned and felt the problem was easy to fix). He provided an honest opinion, which did not include any service at this time. He told us how to fix the problem ourselves (sealing air vents, leaks, laundry chute) for very little cost. He did not charge us a service fee for coming out.

Response from BioTek Environmental Mold Removal - Charleston
Thank you for reviewing our services. Because "mold" is such a scary word and because most people don't have the knowledge or background to help them determine whether their concerns are valid or not, we often see situations like yours in which the issues can be easily dealt with by the homeowner. While many mold remediation companies would exaggerate and oversell, even when the issues are small, we pride ourselves on being "different" from many in our industry in that our goal is not to "sell" services every time we go to a customer's home, but to create a positive relationship and a positive reference. Thank you! Ancel Hamilton

As painful as it is to receive a review that is as bad as this one, I appreciate the opportunity that it gives us to improve our level of service. We have an exceptionally good track record with Angie's List members, so to receive an "F" is certainly a wake up call to me. Upon receiving this review, I researched to find out how we had failed Mrs. [Member Name Removed] and reached out to find out what we can do to make things right. After speaking with Mr. [Member Name Removed], he graciously agreed for us to come to his home on 10/23/17, and we offered to pay for the cost of his original Angie's List inspection coupon. He agreed with my understanding that while we were clearly slow in scheduling a visit to their home, we never had a meeting scheduled so the statement that we were "no shows several times" is not quite accurate. That said, our failure to be more responsive is unacceptable to me and is inconsistent with the level of service that we pride ourselves on.

It went very well. He looked around and noticed that the house feels very humid, but he didn't think we have a mold problem. He suggested we get a dehumidifier, and told us what kind to get , and how to clean it. He answered all of our questions, and didn't charge us for the consultation. He is obviously an expert on his subject, and was extremely knowledgeable. We are very happy with his services and I recommend him to anyone concerned about air quality, and water disasters.

Issues like this are significant to me, and I would like to get to the root cause of why no one responded. Please let me know the date of the call to us and a number at which I can reach you. I appreciate the feedback. Without knowing that this happened, there is nothing that I can do to prevent it from happening again in the future. Best regards, Ancel Hamilton President

It went very well! I thought we had a mold problem however they informed us and assured us that we did not have any mold. Biotek did not charge us and stated that he really did not do any work. I offered to pay several times and they would not allow me. This company is great. Professional and on time. I will be working with them in the future and highly recommend them.

I had two leaks from my skylights (since replaced) with water spots (currently dry to the touch) and wanted to verify there was no mold. I called Biotek to see what their cold contact price. It was over $100 more than the Angie List price for the same service. BioTek's agent also answered questions about other dried water spots. The entire experience was professional.
Description of Work: BioTek took sampes/swabs of different areas and visually inspected for any mold growth. A couple of days later I received the test results clearly marking that there were no mold/mildew problems.

We found water and suspected mold in our son's bedroom window/wall/floor this morning. We appreciate how quickly Ryan K. responded to our all and how patient he was in giving advice. I felt like he was honest with us about what was the right thing to do. This is the second time we have worked with him in the last year and he is always so easy to work with! Thank you!!

Thank you for taking time to share your experiences with Ryan! Since the day he joined our company almost five years ago, he has consistently kept a focus on doing the right thing for our clients and on making the building of reputation and relationships more important than making a sale. It is folks like him who are the lifeblood of our company and the foundation of our success, both in the past and in the future. Thank you again for giving us an opportunity to serve you and for taking time to write about Ryan! Ancel Hamilton

Ryan came out and took samples of the air in 5+ room of the house and found elevated mold spore count in every room. He then provided suggestions to remediate the mold. We performed those steps, which included encapsulation, a dehumidifier, and having the duct work under the house changed out. After doing those things, we also installed UV lights at the coils of both HVAC units. Afterwards, we had him come out and re-test and the air was clean.
Description of Work: Bio Tek came to my home and tested the air after I completed an at home mold test from Lowes.

We are very happy with Biotek and the result. Ryan came out immediately to discuss his product and how it works, assess the problem area and make an evaluation. Once he discovered that we did not have a mold problem, we decided to treat the area anyway out of concern for the future.

I had a serious mold problem 5-6 years ago that was upwards of $10,000 in repairs. I didn't want to mess around when I saw mold forming around my air vents and some waterspots on the ceiling. There was also a musty smell upstairs. Called around 10:30AM on New Years Day. Call returned a few minutes later and 30 minutes later they were on my doorstep. Ryan was very clean, friendly, and professional. Gave some great advice, didn't seem rushed, wasn't pushy at all. He didn't try to make up any work for his company, just told it like it is. He left with a handshake and a business card. I would start here with any future mold problems and recommend you do as well.
Description of Work: Came out to look at some mold growing around air vents upstairs. Examined mold and went into attic to look for any hidden sources, checked ductwork. All checked out ok. Noticed some other areas that need repair but not causing any problems. Didn't try to sell me on any contracting work. Diagnosed as relatively unharmful mold that will likely go away if cleaned. If returns then probably growing in coils and need cleaning by HVAC specialist.
