It was a pleasure to work with MG (Irek in particular) for our asbestos removal project (HVAC ducting). From quote to finish, it took 2 weeks. I think details are really important and MG: - Did not cut into our ceiling, which another company planned to do. This would have cost me more for drywall repair and painting. - There was a minor detail at the end that they addressed after the walk through. I obtained 4 quotes for this project: - MG: $3280 - Company with 5 stars recommended by HVAC company we hired: $5500 (site visited) - Company with 3.5 stars recommended by another HVAC company: $3400-3600 (received video from HVAC company) - Company with 5 stars I found on Yelp: around $3000 (verbal quote, no site visit, 1.5 months out for scheduling) So MG is on the same ballpark as most companies, but had better customer reviews and got the job done more quickly. Easy decision to hire them and I am glad I did! read more

Just worked with them for a Radon remediation. They were awesome. Super professional. On time. On budget. Excellent work and team. And problem solved. Update: We worked with Dennis here on the Peninsula and he was a phenomenal project manager. On time. Under budget. Made sure everything was done properly and our results were excellent. read more

Carlos and his team just did an asbestos removal for us. Carlos put me at ease explaining how the process would work and the type of precautions they would take. The removal was done quickly and thoroughly, with confirmation of air quality provided by another company. The rest of the work that needed to happen on our place proceeded as planned and we now feel 100% better knowing that the asbestos has been removed. I would highly recommend MG Remediation! read more

I dealt with Carlos from the beginning and he was very professional and responsive. The price quoted was reasonable and the asbestos removal was done in a few hours. He kept me updated and the crew was professional and clean. What I appreciated was that Carlos told me exactly what needed to be moved and put me at ease. I would recommend them. read more

We had a great experience working with MG Remediation! Ryan was fantastic to work with and really knew what he was doing. Great and prompt communication and their work was also on point. Their crew was very polite and clean during the job and easy to work with. Within a day of them starting the radon remediation system our radon readings were way below the recommended threshold. Super happy with the experience and results, can't recommend MG Remediation enough! read more

So far, so good. These folks are great to work with and, so far, the results are outstanding. They were highly responsive during the planning stage. Their work took about three days and came in at the quoted price. The crew was super and they left the job site super clean. My Radon readings had been as high at 10 -- often hovering around 6. Now (a couple of weeks after the remediation work) they are hovering around 1.5. read more

We were surprised to find that we had asbestos in the house and needed a quick removal so it would not impact our project schedule. I contacted Irek with a blind call to the company phone number and he came through! He was able to come out on the same day and make a verbal estimate that was very close to the final quote. They then worked around my schedule with the other contractors and slipped in and out with a one day removal and clean up of my asbestos. I can not recommend Irek and MG Remediation more! read more

MG did an excellent job! Ryan and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They explained the process and completed the work in a timely manner. Since the installation, my radon levels have dropped significantly, giving me peace of mind about my family's health. highly recommend MG for anyone in need of radon mitigation services! read more

MG Remediation - Environmental Abatement Near Me - San Leandro, California

Because we knew someone in Arizona who had run into difficulty with selling their home due to a radon gas contingency, on a whim, we bought a couple of radon test kits off the internet, followed the instructions, resulting in a confirmed finding of radon levels in our own home at least 3+ times higher than our government has determined is a safe exposure. It's a horrifying feeling to learn your house is filled with radon gas way above any acceptable level. Since we live in an area where radon isn't recorded as a common problem, it wasn't easy to determine what should be done about it. No one we spoke to locally had any experience, answers or recommendations for how to deal with it. Upon pursuit of the issue through the State of California, GM Remediation was a skilled construction company recommended as being certified for diagnostics and remediation of our radon gas problem. Since the source of radon gas is Mother Earth and the entry of the gas into our home was primarily through the slab foundation connecting us to her, the Mandels discretely drilled a few strategically placed test holes in our flooring to determine whether they could successfully suck the radon gas out of the house to control the gas level sufficiently and, if so, how much suction would be required, with the goal being to contain our radon levels below that of the more stringent European standard. Having objectively determined those factors, they designed and installed a suction system with keen regard for protection of the aesthetics and against the noise pollution for the end result. Mission accomplished! MG Remediation was dependably responsive, methodical, well coordinated and responsible for all aspects of the diagnostics, design, and installation of our radon mitigation solution. To a person, it was a pleasure having them here on the job. read more

MG Remediation worked under our house for seven days to install a radon mitigation system. I just got tests back that show levels in the house have fallen to below detectable levels. We were very pleased with the way the crew did the work: surprisingly quiet, clean, friendly, and no slacking. We had two fan units with exhaust pipes installed because of the shape of our house. They are practically silent: I had to lay my ear against the casing to feel the vibration! Ryan was easy to work with for the estimate and job supervision. read more

I worked with Peter five years ago to install remediation for radon detection in my house. Not only has a system worked for five years, but if I have issues, tell him if he will immediately reply. He doesn't try to sell me more services, but he's honest. I appreciate that so much. It was not cheap to install the system. I'll admit, but I feel grateful that it has lasted for so long . Thank you, Peter for your professionalism and your honesty and integrity. read more

Carlos, the Senior Project Manager from MG Remediation came to our rental house for a severe mold issue under a recently remodeled bathroom. There was a leaking faucet handle in the shower that had leaked for years. Based on the pictures that I took under the house, he was positive this was going to be a "total gut job." As tenants, he assured us that he and his team would be very aggressive to remove all the mold and damaged wood and treat the remaining wood with a primer. We thought that he was very kind and considerate to my wife's and my concerns. He crawled under the house and used a moisture sensor probe and told us the damage and mold was not as bad as anticipated and only minimal remediation was needed. He had 2 crew members the first day and only 1 crew member the second day and considered the remediation complete. The fact of the matter is, Carlos lied to us. They did not remove all the mold, nor did they treat all the contaminated wood surfaces. Additionally, his moisture sensor must not have been working because they completely disregarded the curb to the shower that was completely rotted and moldy. MG Remediation never touched the shower curb, they left it for a Grout Service Repairman that was not trained to handle hazardous mold. After removing a short 3 foot piece of wood, I exposed severe structural joist damage and a sub floor that is rotted and shows the bottom side of the bathroom tile. The pictures are proof. We would not recommend MG Remediation! read more

We hired MG remediation to install a radon mitigation system in our basement. They were available right away, Peter gave me a transparent quote. The work was solid. Peter's crew is well trained. The system works. I saw the levels drop right away. Very pleased with MG remediation and although I hope I never have an issue that requires their services ever again, I'd hire them in a heartbeat. And seriously, if you have a basement test for radon! read more

We worked with Peter from MG Remediation for our asbestos abatement, and it was a great overall experience. We initially called, and someone came out within a day or two to provide an estimate and explained the entire process of removing asbestos. Once we accepted the proposal, they took care of notifying and obtaining BAAQMD permit, removed popcorn ceiling, and completed the job within 3 days that is a day earlier than previously estimated. I would work with MG Remediation again for any future projects! read more

I just recently removed the Popcorn ceiling with asbestos in my living room. They did a great job and within schedule. They were professional and left the place clean. I highly recommend this company for any remediation work. read more

I do not recommend MG remediation to anyone looking for a reliable and conscionable contractor. Carlos and his team not only took about 3 additional weeks to complete ceiling paint, the paint they did was nowhere close to acceptable and they created damage to our house along the way. When confronted with the imperfect paint, they blamed the imperfections on the way our ceilings were built. When confronted about the extra delays (keeping in mind that the last week or so on the job they started coming only few hours to work as if our project was kind of a hobby of theirs that they show up to during their free time taking no consideration to the fact that we told them multiple times that we currently are homeless and they already exceeded the timeframe they provided us with), they blamed me and my husband for "rushing" them which led to imperfect paint and delays. Due to the damages to the walls that they created, we had to hire other painters to paint the entire house. They also scratched and created dents in our new floors and in multiple rooms. Their excuse around that is that they usually come to a house and complete their work first which is bound to create damage and then the rest of the contractors come in. They basically take the contract signed as an excuse and cover to create all the damage they please in your house. On top of all that, the communication was very poor all along although we were promised daily updates and pictures. For all these reasons above, I cannot recommend MGM to anyone. read more

With an Airthings monitor, we measured radon levels above 4 pCi/L and contacted MG Remediation. Peter Mandel responded quickly and his team was available only 3 days later. Peter had inspected our crawlspace and given us a detailed quote, stating exactly how long it would take. The team started working on the side of the house we wanted them to begin with. They installed a membrane all over the soil below the crawl space and also below our house to encapsulate the crawl space, then they installed pipes all around the crawl space to suck the air and release it above the house. Now our radon levels in the house are at 0.27 pCi/L. Peter was following the team closely and we are very happy with their work. read more

We have used Carlos and MG Remediation for numerous residential jobs in the San Jose and Campbell areas. His response time is exceptional, and I can't even explain about his honesty and knowledge related to mold and organic contamination remediation. We will continue to use Carlos for all our properties. read more

Carlos Becerra-Ibarra did an awesome job on asbestos flooring removal and containment of the kitchen from the rest of our house. His proposal was also the most thorough. The plan was to remove two layers of flooring, even though only the top layer of flooring had asbestos. When it turned out that the bottom 100 year old linoleum layer was so well stuck that it would require damage or removal of the subfloor, Carlos carefully explained all the options which allowed us to choose a no added cost option of just completely scraping / cleaning the original layer. My brother is a flooring installer and said he was impressed with how clean they got the original linoleum. Added bonus for us is that that layer can serve as waterproofing under our new floating floor. All of the asbestos from the the top flooring was removed. Carlos even left the interior plastic containment in place at my request and allowed us to keep the hepa fan for extra days which allowed us to complete misc. rewiring / plumbing demo while preventing dust from the rest of the house. Finally, Carlos gave me regular updates and photos throughout the whole process. Great work Carlos! I told him he needs to request a promotion! Thanks again! -Joe read more

We worked with Carlos at MG Remediation who was the project manager on our home. Our house was in original condition, with asbestos tile, asbestos transite vents, and asbestos vinyl over a concrete foundation floor. Carlos was incredibly responsive and professional from the beginning in coming out the following day after an initial call to see the house, measure the sq footage of demo areas, and give us a very fair, competitive quote. The team conducted work over several days, and despite a slight delay with the dumpster arrangement, they completed their work on time and did a great job. The worksite was clean, and cleaned before the house was re-tested by an independent testing consultant and passed asbestos free with flying colors. Moreover, Carlos was a pleasure to work with! We would definitely recommend MG Remediation to anyone looking for a fair, professional remediation job. Thank you! read more
