Project: Mold remediation
We hired Nelson and his crew to do a major mold remediation job in our unfinished basement. He and his very professional crew did an OUSTANDING job removing the mold and left the work area spotless. He worked closely with us in refining the details of the job and provided excellent advice on replacing insulation and avoiding future recurrence of the problem. He has done a great job responding to subsequent questions which have arisen. We give him our strongest possible recommendation.

We could not have been more pleased with the work Nelson and his crew did for us. Nelson did a thorough walk through of our home with the findings from our Mold Inspector and laid out what he could do to remedy our issues. He provided a detailed estimate of work and was able to do the work at a mutually convenient time. He also provided info and solutions for how to remedy the cause of our mold issue. The work he did was exceptional - our basement was pristine when the crew finished. The work in our living area was done meticulously and the areas were left very clean. A few issues came up while he was doing the job, and he handled them effortlessly and helped us make decisions as needed. Nelson was extremely patient and answered every question we had in a timely manner, if not immediately. He also kept us in the loop as he was working, sending pictures of both the areas he worked on as they were, and then after his crew tackled them. We highly recommend him, and are thankful that he was willing to help us.

Addendum-I forgot to give him 5 stars. I'd give him 6 out of 5!
Many companies claim that they know how to remediate mold. However, what they do is not according to industry standards and actually make things worse by spraying the mold affected areas with chemicals, and then use blowers to spread spores in nearby areas and that's it. But that's not how it works, according to the EPA, even dead mold causes the same health problems that live mold does. Mold cannot be removed solely by cleaning the affected surfaces. For successful mold remediation, the mold contaminated material must be physically removed followed by the proper cleaning steps. In many cases, the mold is hidden within wall cavities or in inaccessible areas where it cannot just be cleaned, fogged, or sprayed. That’s when the removal of the actual contaminated material is crucial.
If you suspect that you have mold in your home, and that you or someone in your family has been exposed to mold, we suggest you first hire an IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional) such as a mold inspector or an industrial hygienist to assess your home. Once you receive their written report with recommendations, we will carefully review it and offer our services to help you take the next steps in implementing the recommended protocols. An experienced member of our team will visit your home or business in a timely fashion to evaluate the mold situation and/or HVAC system(s) cleaning needs, and will provide you with verbal and written information regarding the project and associated costs. Subsequently, Better Breathing Environmental will then work closely with your IEP and will adhere to their report. We will base the project on their recommendations to achieve a thorough and successful mold remediation and HVAC system cleaning following their protocols. To ensure that the remediation plan has been completed effectively, post-remediation testing by your IEP is always recommended.
When it comes to mold and microbial growth, the objective in many cases can vary based on several factors such as the type of structure being remediated, the health conditions of the occupants and cost associated but the most common targets should include:
