Michelle is amazing. She is extremely detail oriented and has an enormous amount of energy. She not only spends time crawling into dirty spaces but she is like a professor in explaining the science behind it all. She is kind, brilliant and really cares about the customer. I highly reccomend read more

Michelle is a WEALTH of information, and I highly recommend her! I was navigating a complex situation with my property with mold and she provided expert, step by step guidance on how to navigate it successfully. And she provided top notch recommendations for work I needed done that is not part of her offering. You will be in great hands with Michelle - she looks out for people genuinely, which is a treasure! read more

We've worked with Michelle on multiple occasions for mold and asbestos. She is incredibly thorough in her work. Her expertise and years of experience give her a keen ability to identify potential issues. It can be alarming dealing with potential mold or asbestos, but we've enjoyed working with Michelle because she constantly communicates with us during the process and answers any questions we might have. We've trusted the health of our family in her hands, and we can't recommend her services enough. Michelle is fantastic. She is professional, detailed-oriented, and kind. We've worked with her on several projects for both asbestos and mold, and she would be the first person we turn to again in the future for any related issues. It was evident from how Michelle conducted her work that she genuinely cared about our safety, health, and comfort, and she ensured that we were constantly informed during the process. We highly recommend her services. read more

Michelle was amazing. First of all, she is very responsive by phone and text, which I appreciate. When she was on her way here, she provided me with her route so that I could see when she would arrive. Also great communication. Michelle had told me on the phone that it was her goal to educate me to the point where she'd never need to come back. She dove in as soon as she got here and went through the entire house from outside to inside, top to bottom. She found sources of bacteria I hadn't considered and had so many resources of professionals who could help us resolve issues and remediate our toxic mold. Not only that, though, she was quick to tell me what we could and should be able to do ourselves. After her visit, Michelle was very communicative in making sure that we had the resources we needed to resolve our toxic mold issue. She even talked me through cleaning out the mold in the HVAC in my son's dorm room. Michelle's services are invaluable. Her inspections are something every homeowner should partake in even if you don't suspect you have an issue! read more

Michelle is knowledgeable, compassionate, and enthusiastic in her services. My apartment was having issues with mushrooms and mold and she helped us determine the types of risks and also identified asbestos issues that weren't even on our radar. Not only did she provide a detailed inspection and report, but went above and beyond to provide guidance for next steps in terms of health, dealing with property management, and even legal remedies. One area of improvement would be to give potential customers a detailed breakdown of what services are included in the initial assessment (includes one fungal swab, site visit inspection, and a report) and the additional costs for each sample, swab, etc. beforehand. The price for each additional sample seems very reasonable, it would just make it easier for customers to make an informed decision. read more

Michelle with Professional Mold Inspections is absolutely amazing. Hands down the best inspector I have ever come across. She is unbelievably thorough, astoundingly knowledgeable, utterly honest, extremely genuine, kind and caring. I am in owe of her skills, service, knowledge and dedication to her profession. She came to my home last year after I had gotten a mold diagnosis. I was blown away by her thoroughness. She found so many things, among which, a hole in my roof, which resulted in me replacing it and I couldn't be happier. I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of work that needed to be done by she held my hand every step of the way. She often calls or texts to share new ideas, findings and a million helpful tips. Today, she returned to look at all the work that was done and measure its effectiveness. She was very detail oriented, as always, and had some very helpful and insightful findings and recommendations. I strongly recommend her and her extremely professional approach, knowledge, and expertise! read more

See all

We were concerned about mold in our home due to my son's allergies, so our doctor recommended we get our home inspected and tested for mold. I looked for reviews for mold inspectors that were independent from mold remediation. I contacted Michelle and she promptly returned my call, and set up an appointment to come take a look at my home. She has been a godsend. She thoroughly explained her process, and thoroughly checked our home. She then took samples and sent them off to the lab. Results came quick and her fees were very reasonable for all the knowledge we got from her. She gave us amazing tips on how to keep the humidity low in our home and improve our indoor air quality. We highly recommended her to anyone looking for an honest and passionate inspector. If ever we are in need of mold inspector again, Michelle will be the number one person we call. read more

Michelle completely over delivers value. She's a thorough, trustworthy, knowledgeable and well resourced. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

We got lucky we chose Michelle for our mold inspection. She really cared about our concerns and keeps in touch to make sure we have everything we need to keep the humidity level low and impossible for mold to grow. She also identified other issues we didn't even know. Definitely recommend! read more

I called two mold specialists in the area in a panic because my husband was asthmatic and unable to breathe well in our home. Michelle responded first, and she was able to fit us in for a visit 48 hours later. Listed below are the pros/cons of her visit. Pros: 1. She is thorough. Her price is steep (somewhere around $350 which includes one lab test, and an extra $60 for each additional mold swab) but she turned over every corner of our home and located legitimate water sources and mold growth. We would never have noticed some of the spots had she not been so astoundingly thorough. Cons: 1. She found quite a few things that were NOT mold. She insisted a paint streak was mold and strongly urged us to cut exploratory panels out of our ceiling to get the mold treated. A second mold specialist we called in later confirmed that it was indeed paint. 2. Her remediation suggestions were excessive and overwhelming. It was difficult in the days following to sort through her numerous suggestions, which would have amounted to $100k or more. These included patching tiny cracks in the bricks of our entire condo building; tearing up our maple floors and replacing them with Home Depot vinyl; rearranging our washer and dryer setup and boring a hole into our outside wall to accommodate a shorter dryer vent; and replacing all of our cabinets with IKEA cabinets that are easier to clean. We had our dryer vents cleaned that same day (I did appreciate that she had a guy at Dapper Ducts on speed dial and he that came over quickly), then purchased a dehumidifier, replaced furniture that had mold growth, scrubbed and treated walls and floors with concrobium, and dry cleaned our clothes/threw out what couldn't be cleaned. It was still a lot but much less expensive and destructive to our home than what Michelle recommended. 3. She brought someone into our home who we didn't know. After finishing her mold search she called in a friend to go through our home and look for areas to remediate. This was in addition to calling someone from Dapper Ducts to come clean our vents. So her visit turned into three separate home improvement visits. After the DD guy left, her remediation friend came over, walked through very quickly, and left without saying a word. Because I was still processing the mountain of information she was throwing our way, I didn't stop to question why she brought a stranger in to look at our home. I tried to follow up with him by phone but did not get a response. Several weeks later he called and said the remediations (including treating the paint stains that he said were mold) would cost several thousand dollars. I have no idea who this person was, who he works for, or his qualifications; I only know his name was Elvis. It was very unprofessional of Michelle to overload us with information and panic and then call in this random person to look over our home. 4. She may have texted me about ~60 times following her visit, with suggestions for flooring and cabinets. Why she gets 3 stars: In terms of finding mold, she is a maestro. We never would have noticed the things she pointed out, and I'm truly glad she helped us locate the main causes (for us, a backed up dryer vent and not using a dehumidifier, which every basement in DC needs). But she is not a remediation professional, and I thought she crossed some boundaries when trying to "help" us. read more

Michelle went above and beyond for our family's safety. She is conscientious, compassionate, and a consummate expert in creating a safe home environment that protects the health of people sensitive to mold. If you're reading this review, you are likely either planning for a home purchase or move, or you just discovered mold and you're in crisis about what to do. Mold can make you very sick, and about 1 in 4 people are sensitive to illness from certain kinds of microscopic mold spores. Don't wait for things to get worse, just get in touch with Michelle! If you are suffering from environmentally acquired illness from mold, if you have autoimmune problems and need to look for a safe home, or if you have mystery illnesses and you're worried this growth you just found is mold, Michelle will believe you, care about you, and get you the analysis you need. I have talked to multiple other mold inspectors who really did not care about my health, which is strange when protecting your health is central to remediating mold. Michelle cares and understands what it's like to be sensitive to mold exposure. She also has expertise in evaluating a wide range of types of mold, and can help you whether you haven't found visible growth or you have visible growth you need to evaluate. A friend of mine was exposed to mold and became severely ill. Michelle helped her tremendously in her recovery. So when we faced an air quality crisis in our apartment and we couldn't figure out the cause, Michelle was the professional I turned to. I had developed an autoimmune disorder from living in a water-damaged unit and I was having a severe flare up when I contacted her. I couldn't actually breathe in my own apartment without getting sick. She inspected our apartment thoroughly, ran an air quality test and took lab samples. She identified potential water leaks, and thanks to her lab report we determined what kind of mold was in the air. Michelle was discreet when we needed her to be in inspecting our apartment as we were dealing with a building with chronic management issues. We then chose to connect Michelle to apartment maintenance and thanks to her engaging with them, the managers took us seriously. The building had a ton of problems with water leaks and we no longer wanted to risk living there. We were able to negotiate ending our lease early without penalty. That was huge for us when we'd been through months of my partner being unemployed due to the pandemic. We are now living in a safe place in another building thanks to Michelle's guidance, expertise, and support. She gave tremendous help to my partner and I in getting to safety, creating a clean environment, and supporting my recovery from environmentally acquired illness. I learned how to check carpets, humidity, and more factors involved in mold safety. She also continued to reach out to me to see how my recovery was coming along. Bottom line: I would recommend Michelle to anyone, but I especially recommend her if you are like me. If you've been through a lot, you're chronically ill, and you want the professional you work with to have your back. Call Michelle now and save your health!! read more

Michelle is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful and I highly recommend her for your mold inspection. Not only will she take great care in the initial inspection and air quality sampling, but she will follow through to ensure once you have moved forward with remediation, and perform visual inspection to remediation before completing final sampling of air quality testing. She genuinely cares about her clients and she was a breath of fresh air to work with. She is very responsive, and takes pride in ensuring her clients are left in a better place. We knew that we could trust her recommendations as we also put in means to prevent mold in our home in the future based on her suggestions. Finally, her reports are detailed and informative, ensuring we had all issues documented and resolved by close of jobs. read more

Giving Michelle a 5 star review is like giving Michael Jordan 5 stars for being a good basketball player. She's extremely thorough and well educated about home water intrusion, among other issues for which she can provide testing. But that's just the start. We've had moisture in our basement for a dozen years or more and had had 3-4 'professionals' out over the years. Two or three were basement waterproofing guys who walked in with their iPad sales presentations and were going to sell me a $15,000 french drain no matter what my problem was. They didn't care about mold. The last guy was a mold inspector who looked at my water-damaged baseboards and carpet tack strips, saying, "it doesn't look too bad." I wasted a lot of years with spores growing in my house because I thought I was overreacting to my concerns about mold. Michelle looked at every aspect of my home that could have been susceptible to water intrusion, from attic to basement ... she thought my damage DID look bad. Her lab results showed several strains of mold on the walls and in the air. During the inspection, she gave numerous actionable fixes we could make to our roof, siding, door molding, outdoor ducts, etc. These weren't even in the places we suspected a mold issue, they were in addition to them, and some did have active mold. After the inspection, she texted me photos of products she recommended to be used for those fixes. She continued to follow up as we went through professional mold remediation and implemented all of those fixes. She sincerely cares about helping people make their homes safe and healthy. Cannot say enough about her. If you hadn't guessed yet, I'd recommend Michelle's services. I feel very lucky to have found her. read more

Michelle is very experienced and educated in all matters of mold. She is very responsive, helpful, compassionate and brings a whole lot of light to an otherwise horrid situation like a mold infestation in your home. You can immediately tell that she has been around a lot of molds to know and thoroughly understand the process of mold formation and growth. She walked with me through my apartment complex and home showing me signs of mold and moisture throughout my unit, while explaining the effects of mold on my body and the building. She is very easy to reach via text and is more than happy to answer any and all questions regarding mold. The lab results were very thorough, and detailed and a very quick turn around time. I am very glad to be connected with Michelle as she is very personable and funny, with a sharp insight. Thank you for all that you do!! Much love. read more

If you want to ensure your home environment is mold-free and safe, contact Michelle. Her tremendous depth and breadth of expertise was immediately evident in the consult call. The rigor and thoroughness of her assessment was unparalleled. She is a generous professional and honest broker whose singular concern is protecting her clients' health, well-being and home or business investment in a business where time matters. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Where do I start. Michelle is amazing. She feels like an old friend who really cares about what WE were going through after Ian flooded our home. I am a 25y remodeling contractor who has some knowledge about flooding and the subsequent work. Michelle via phone calls and texts remotely filled in all the blanks. She is very knowledgeble and I would highly recommend her services both in person and remotely. She walked me through what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong. She is aware of what the adjuster was looking for and what to say to them. Today is Thanksgiving, and Michelle is someone My Family is so grateful for. Ian really set us back, but Michelle helped set us up for a great recovery. read more

Words cannot describe how amazing Michelle was in helping me get rid of mold in my condo! I first reached out to her because I wasn't feeling to well and wanted the air tested in my living space. She was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond and I can't thank her enough. After the mold was discovered and restored through a company she highly recommended she came back to test me air again and there was a 99.51% REDUCTION in mold!! Thank you Michelle! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Michelle. I needed someone immoderately and she was able to come out the next day after reaching out to her! She was extremely helpful and thorough in identifying any moisture or mold issues and next steps to take. She was very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had and truly cared for my well being as well as my children's. read more

Michelle is amazing and worth every penny. I wasn't quite sure what a mold inspection consisted of, but Michelle definitely exceeded my expectations. She inspected every nook and cranny of the house - took lab samples, checked air quality, noted all areas where mold could potentially occur - she is very hands on. But the best part is definitely her knowledge and customer service. She gave use advice and recommendations for everything - for both things we could do ourselves and thing we could hire a contractor to do. Not only did she follow up with us after the inspection regarding her recommendations and to thoroughly explain the lab results, but she was also willing to answer any questions that came up after the inspection was completed. Her own report is also very detailed and actually useful. I would recommend Michelle from PROFESSIONAL MOLD INSPECTIONS LLC in a heartbeat. read more

We had a roof leak, which led to me seeing some mold on the wet insulation in our attic. Our house was built in 1940 and to be safe I wanted to have a full inspection done. Michelle was the 1st person I called after seeing her reviews. She was able to come the same day. I liked how from the beginning she said she did not do mold removal, since that would be a conflict of interest to the inspection. She came and did an extremely thorough job inspecting every part of our house. She gave me great tips along the way, letting me know what I could do on my own to keep moisture out of the house. She also gave 2 referrals of companies to treat the major areas we were concerned with, and we ended up scheduling them to come out to do the work. All in all, don't mess with mold, it's worth the cost to know if you are breathing in toxic air that is harmful. Now we also know a ton of what to do for the future. Michelle is amazing, and checked in on us several days after the exam to ensure we know everything we needed to. I would highly recommend! read more

Michelle was amazing. She was thorough, spent a lot of time explaining her work, cared about us and our family, and was extremely thorough on follow-up, providing great reports, suggestions for contractors and remediators to do work, and sending links to suggested products. She was active in responding to our questions in the days after the inspection, and worked with us to dimension the right amount and level of repairs. I CANNOT recommend her enough! read more

Michelle is amazing at what she does. I first contacted her after learning that I suffered from mold exposure. She came right over and did an air test and discussed next steps. She made recommendations regarding ventilation and cleaning, and most importantly she stayed calm. She has a wealth of information and she knows that mold is a big problem but addresses it with knowledge and science. She has consistently continued to help me over the last year as my health has continued to improve. The best part is that I now consider her to be a friend. She's that nice! Mold is scary and stressful. Michelle makes you feel like you're not alone as you get to the bottom of things. Highly recommend! read more

Michelle is wonderful and not only being patient but also professional in what she does. She even do Sunday if needed which is rare and shows that she really cares about what she does and genuinely wanted to help people. I had her do my sister's house in Rockville and glad that I chose her company to do the testing. Highly recommend her company! read more

This company was great. Michelle finds the problem, tells you what needs to be done to fix it, and in our case she also arranged for a number of estimates to get the work done. Before she came, we knew there was something wrong but were not sure what. When she left, we knew the problem and had a clear plan to fix it. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Michelle was great. Very punctual and thorough. We needed someone quickly and she was able to come the next day with a report we could send to our condo association shortly after. I'd highly recommend her services. read more

She went above and beyond, and she even helped me clean my gutters! She is very helpful, knowledgeable, and compassionate. You can easily tell that she is very experienced in this line of work, and it was a great time working with her. read more
