Happy home services month! I used Yelp's "Request a Quote" to find a mold detection service for my…read morehome, and I came across this 5 star business. I wanted to hire someone mostly to give me peace of mind and ensure that we didn't have any underlying mold issues before entering the muggy, hot, rainy summer months... aka the perfect breeding conditions for mold. Now that we have a baby in the house, I just wanted to take some precautions. We've all been under the weather fairly often over the past few months, so my paranoia set in. We live in an older bungalow style home, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to check just in case. I connected with Elite Mold Services and a member from their team gave me a call to walk me through their services, how it work, and pricing. I liked that they were very transparent & thorough in their explanation of the process. I decided to move forward and they were able to schedule one of their inspectors to come the next day. I received updates and their agreement via text message. Eduardo arrived promptly on time to complete the mold assessment. He was very kind & professional, explaining what he was doing along the way. He inspected the entire home both indoors and outdoors, as well as the attic. They use special technology to detect moisture behind walls and on surfaces. He paid careful attention to my main areas of concern including the baby's nursery and the bathroom. He did detect some moisture behind the walls of the shower, as well as some mold growth on the outside of the HVAC unit in the attic. We agreed to his suggestion to have the mold in the attic tested to make sure it was not inside the HVAC system, impacting our air quality. He took a sample of the mold (it's $80 for each lab test which they told us up front) and we had the results back within about 5 days. They provide you with a detailed report of the inspection and any lab results, as well as any remediation suggestions & resources for preferred vendors. Thankfully they didn't discover anything that was too much cause for concern which definitely gave me the peace of mind I was hoping for. Now that we have some areas to be cognizant of, we provided the report to our landlord to take further action before they become a problem. Overall, we had a great experience with Elite Mold Services and I would highly recommend them for any mold inspection needs!

I have still felt very unwell and have lived in absolute fear ever since. I am constantly checking humidity levels and trying to figure out if there could still be issues somewhere since my health has continued to get worse and worse. My master bathroom showed some water damage on the drywall near the baseboard and I decided to make an appointment with Elite to have the drywall cut out and have the inside looked at to see if I had finally found the source of mold that must certainly be making me feel this badly. The technician cut out a large piece of drywall and looked into the wall, said it looked good and saw no leaks so they sealed the bathroom off and ran scrubbers for 24 hours etc...... all the basics. When they were done, I noticed a lot of white matter on the wood inside the wall. I asked if that was mold? I was told "I don't know. Mold can be all different colors". I was offered some kind of spray be sprayed all over the wood to "treat it". That was it. Then my boyfriend replaced the drywall for me. So I paid an obscene amount of money for drywall to be cut out and I still don't know for certain if what was on the wood was mold. I could have cut out and replaced the drywall myself. I gained zero information or clarity from this process.

I probably won't manage to write the review that Heather Delaporte and Ultimate Environmental…read moreSolutions (UES) truly deserve, but I'll try my best to describe how caring, thorough, and knowledgeable they are. This was my situation: my family home was unoccupied for a brief period while my mom recovered from some severe health issues. The house was checked frequently, but not frequently enough to catch a leak from our supposedly top of the line new roof. Before we realized it, mold had colonized every area of our house. Upon hearing a description of the situation multiple mold remediation companies suggested I hire an environmental consultant/mold hygienist to figure out the type of extensive protocol needed to deal with the contamination and damage our house sustained. I contacted Heather and she made time to come all of the way to north Florida from Orlando to assess our house. Heather scrutinized every inch of the building and then clearly laid out a description of our options. Since UES does not do the remediation/restoration themselves, they provide an unbiased assessment of what it will take to fix your problem and give you a healthy space to live in. Heather gave me lots of feedback on damage control and what matters most during restoration. She told me what corners absolutely could not be cut, but also provided suggestions on how to do some of the work myself, if I decided to take that approach, and on how to rescue, clean, and restore our most valuable possessions right away while insurance dilly-dallied with our claim. Heather's report was scientific, comprehensive, and invaluable to my mom and me. She stayed in touch with us long after she had a direct role in the situation and was very responsive at all stages. She and her company provide the kind of consideration you just do not experience with many companies. She really cares about you and your health and finding the best, safest solution to a mold and water damage situation. Heather's assistant James was also very knowledgeable and the two of them went over the house like detectives, cataloging, collecting samples, and explaining the dynamics of moisture, air flow, and mold as they went. I am confident that you can trust Heather and UES to give you an honest assessment of whatever situation you have that fits into their areas of expertise. From reading reviews online and talking to various friends, I gather that many companies prey on desperate people who just want to make sure they protect the health of their families, themselves, and their businesses from mold toxins. With the mold remediation business rife with charlatans, having someone truly trustworthy makes all the difference. Heather even started her own school to teach environmental assessment and air quality because of poorly done work she had seen in some cases when she had to come in and clean up another's mess. It's safe to say, I highly recommend UES.

Sometimes mismanaged by medical professionals, debilitating symptoms can very well be environmentally related. It is a daunting task to resolve an issue that is sometimes invisible. Heather Delaporte, the face and heart of UES, is not intimidated by microscopic health threats. She is equipped to find, measure, and eradicate the cause of a "sick space". She uses cutting edge technology to draw a link between a sufferer's symptoms and what he is exposed to in the environment. Heather and her staff are thorough, professional, and caring. They are always accessible and work tremendously hard to resolve dangerous issues. They fight along side of the "stricken" to fix what is imbalanced. They provide detailed scientific reports with instructions for clean up and will continue to supervise the job until the environment is healthy again. I cannot be more grateful for their expertise and kindness.

BEST WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR LOCAL WELLS!!!!…read more I am a hardcore Yelper for many years I rip them down or build them up based on my experience. Check out my other brutal reviews! This review is going to be gushing! 1=Poor to 5=Best Experience: 5 "I give a 10 if my scale had it, lol" Product: 5 Knowledge: 5 Personable: 5 Timely: 5 Value: 5 "True to the price after install: 5 Exactly as quoted" Schedule install: 5 actually finished in two days quoted 3 wow! Overall satisfaction: 5 "I will recommend this company to anyone who wants the best at an honest price!" It's so hard finding anyone trustworthy these days or who does exactly what they say they will. My Experience: I had a newer Pelican Water filtration system that came with my home purchase. It basically sucked. The water was super hard and stinky. I started my research on water filtration systems for wells and learned it's very different than ones for city water which my Pelican was made for, not the well it was on. I contacted the best of the best and got eye-popping crazy high prices and lots of water tests from all of them. Then Mr. Patterson came buy took a hard look at my current system, tested the water, and flexed his awesome knowledge on local well water "Brilliant!!!!" I learned two things that day. 1: Knowing the local water is a must and this guy has been here doing this for decades! 2: He explained the problem and how to fix it and guaranteed my satisfaction. He gave me a couple of options and then said this is the one I have in my home and it's the water my grandkids drink. It was the most reasonable priced not only for him but compared to all the others also by far! They installed it a couple of weeks ago and I am over the moon satisfied! It is the freshest smelling and tasting I have ever had. Also, the water softness is perfect on testing and it feels wonderful. In fact, my soap now lathers like whip cream practically, lol. I am completely satisfied

Daniel Melendez is qualified, certified and quick to respond! Our mold saga has been long and tedious. My medical testing indicated mold, but two previous inspections were unable to find it in the house. Enter Daniel! Within approximatedly 5 hours, he was able to locate the mold, identify it, photograph it, take test samples, and point us towards the next step in dealing with it. Within approximately 48 hours, Daniel had provided a 23-page report that was comprehensive, yet understandable by lay people such as ourselves. We were able to quickly send this report to the additional professionals we need to address this problem, including: our insurance company, a professional remediator familiar with mold corrections, an experienced HVAC contact, and a public adjuster -- in case our insurance company balks at paying this claim. We have found Daniel to be prompt, neat, courteous and personable. He is an excellent communicator and quickly responds to our eternal questions. He is also calm, cheerful and patient with freaked out people! When dealing with situations that can affect your physical wellbeing, my advice is to always stick with the professionals. This will save you time and money in the long run, as well as wear and tear on on your mental health. Thanks to Daniel, I now feel like it is possible to deal with the situation as just another thing that can happen in Florida!
