Geno was extremely responsive and professional. We were able to get the service done for free by another provider, but I would definitely use B4 Inspections in the future.

Geno was great. Took the time to explain to me what he found and what to do about it. I appreciated that he was independent and was not trying to sell me remediation services.
Description of Work: Inspected crawl space for mold, fungus and moisture. Found only moisture and normal leveles of other particulates.

At the home inspection for the sale of our house, mold was discovered on several floor joists in the crawl space. Additionally, the radon gas level measured higher than the EPA recommends. We asked B-4 Home Group, Geno Swick, to perform testing to determine the levels of mold spores and of radon. He arrived promptly as scheduled, listened to our concerns, and then crawled under the house to see what the situation actually was. He did identify what appeared to be mold, and measured the mold spore levels as higher than recommended. He left the radon gas measuring equipment in our house for a couple of days, then, after reading the results, confirmed that the radon level was also high. At our request, he later emailed us the names of 2 or 3 companies in the area he was familiar with who could do both the mold remediation and the radon mediation. He was helpful enough to give us some guidelines on what specific items should be included in any contract we signed for the work. After the work was completed, we again asked him to come measure the mold spore count and the radon gas levels. He provided us with documentation to show that both mold and gas were now well below the maximum values recommended by the EPA. Such documentation will be invaluable in the sale of our house. Mr. Swick was prompt, very efficient, helpful, and recognized that most of us know little to nothing about such matters. He provided both information while he was here, and, later, provided web sites we could visit to learn a bit more. We really couldn't ask for more help. We highly recommend the B-4 Home Group and Geno Swick.
Description of Work: B-4 Home Group does not do actual remediation of mold nor mediation of radon gas. Geno Swick, the owner, provides testing both before and after remediation/mediation work is performed. We believe it's always a good idea to have one company do the testing before and after, then another, separate company do the work. (That way there's no conflict of interest.) Geno did the initial testing, and, at our request, provided us with the names of several companies which could do the remediation/mediation. After the work was done, Geno retested to ensure the work was completed satisfactorily. He is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and just plain good. We will certainly use his company again if the need arises.

Geno came to our house to test for mold in our crawlspace and attic. He was thorough and informative, and a pleasure to work with. He also does not do the remediation work himself, so he does not push unneeded fixes or services. In the end he gave us some suggestions we could do ourselves to prevent mold issues, and told us we did not need any professional services.

Geno Swick tested my elderly mother's house for mold after several caregivers complained of allergy problems after staying with her overnight. He came promptly after my call, even though it was labor day. He had the best equipment available and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He gave us photos and information on the source of the mold (roof and gutter problems), the type of mold, the amount of mold present, and the proper remediation process, including recommendations on companies who would do the job right. In addition, he determined that the $1200 airduct cleaning we had paid for one month earlier had, in fact, NEVER BEEN DONE. He advised us on how exactly to handle the complaint, and thanks to him, the company remedied the situation immediately. I will highly recommend B4 because of their excellent service and their lack of conflict of interest (B4 only provides mold inspection and testing, not remediation services).
Description of Work: Whole house mold inspection with both air samples and tape samples. Moisture detection and leak inspection of roof and exterior of house -- including photos of problem areas.

Geno preformed home inspection and did a pretty good job. However, on the flyer of his that I have it says, "Equipment Always Used: Zefon Bio-Pump, 315-2 CO meter, 535 CO2 meter, I.A.Q Meter-side by side reading, RH% - CO & CO2 temp. RH ratio, Humidity & temp data logistics, Gray wolf Direct IAQ, Radon 48-hour CRM test, AC canister upon request(radon), Gast pump & a dwyer-rotameter." So I chose him and paid a bit more than some of my offers. However, he did not use any of this equipment. I didn't have the flyer on me when the inspection was performed so I didn't remember what all was promised, but I did ask about the radon testing. He told me that he would come back for $75 and perform the test. So my point is this, if you use him be sure to have him do all of the tests he promises.
