    I have learned so much more about mold this week than I ever wanted to…read more I called a few places and Property Health was the best price and the fastest availability for an air quality test. Frank was very responsive to all of my questions, and gave very thorough replies. He welcomed more questions and was available via phone, email, and text. He provided full photo diaries plus a 153 page report. If we needed air quality testing again I would definitely use Property Health.

    There are truly not enough good things to say about Frank and his team at PropertyHealth, but I'll…read moredo my best to capture our experience. To start, Frank is one of the most considerate, kind, and genuinely knowledgeable people I've come across in any business setting. From day one, it was clear that he cared--not just about doing the job, but about helping us navigate a stressful situation and meet tight deadlines. He went out of his way to accommodate our timeline when he really didn't have to, which speaks volumes about his character. His communication is on another level. He responds to calls and texts almost immediately, keeps you constantly informed, and makes sure you never feel in the dark about what's happening. That level of responsiveness and transparency is rare, and it made a huge difference for us. Beyond that, his entire team operates with the same level of professionalism and attention to detail. They were punctual, respectful of our home, and clearly take pride in the quality of their work. Everything was handled efficiently, cleanly, and with care. What stood out most is that Frank treats you like more than just another client--he genuinely wants the best outcome for you and goes the extra mile to make sure you get it. It's hard to find people like that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank and PropertyHealth to anyone. If you're looking for a team that is reliable, communicative, and truly cares, you won't find better.

    We had a mold issue in our primary bedroom. Ricky gave a thorough quote and helped to feel…read moreconfident that the remediation scope would fully address the issue. His team set up a solid containment, performed the work to scope, and passed clearance testing with a third party company. They also offered to leave their containment up (including some temp poles) for the duration of my build-back project. The team was careful of my house during the demo which involved carrying large, heavy pieces of shower glass down some stairs and through some turns. The only downside I found during the process was the need to pay for the site visit for the quote. This payment is credited to the bill and it wound up being a non-issue due to selecting BH environmental for the job, but none of the other companies I had out requested payment for the quoting visit.

    UPDATE: I appreciate your pride and accountability in your business. We just had very little…read moreconfidence that your bid - the only one for which we paid - was reliable. None of this process was communicated clearly to us. I appreciate the owner's effort to make it right with a refund of the fee. I wouldn't even recommend requesting an estimate from these people. I wish I hadn't. The star is because someone technically came out. They were the only ones who charged a fee to come out, and their inspector spent a total of maybe 50 seconds in the bathroom that had water damage. The person who came out told us would have an estimate within a day, and no estimate. Unlike the other companies that came out, he made no inquiry about the age of the house or mention of required asbestos testing. Overall, his visit did not inspire confidence that any estimate we did get (if we got one) would be valid or accurate (not require change orders). Maybe the reason why some reviewers say they're cheaper is that they cut corners? (We wouldn't know as we never got our estimate.) We were really dissatisfied even with our (extremely brief) visual inspection experience. Communication with respect to the process was not good (as we don't know what's going on). Clearly my short list selection process failed me here. ETA: Apparently they were waiting on payment for the estimate (no one made clear what this process was), which we finally got, and indeed did not include asbestos testing.

He took his time inspecting every area of concern and explained the entire process in a way that was clear and easy to understand. This has been a very stressful situation for our family, and Timothy approached it with calmness, integrity, and care. He answered all of our questions patiently and made sure we fully understood his findings and what they meant. His attention to detail and transparency gave us a sense of clarity and security during a time when we really needed it. We truly appreciate his professionalism and would highly recommend Timothy and Mold Inspection Sciences to anyone needing a thorough and trustworthy mold inspection.

    Highly Recommended: MOLD Specialists Who Have Inspections Down to a Science!…read more We recently hired Tim from Mold Inspection Sciences to come out to a 3500 sq. Foot 50-year-old inherited home in South Orange County. We are currently performing our due diligence in preparing the property for sale, and investing in this type of specialized inspection is simply the smart thing to do. From start to finish, Tim was fantastic. He was on time, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. What we appreciated most was his communication style--he handled all of our questions with absolute ease, explaining the technical details in a way that was clear and easily understood.  When we received the final report, we were blown away by how comprehensive yet easily understandable it is. Rather than a simple pass/fail summary, their reports are incredibly detailed and leave no stone unturned. They include:  An room-by-room physical and visual assessment breakdown.  We did not have every single room tested, but we tested any suspect areas where we could see there had been prior leaks. Moreover, their thermal imaging equipment can spot leaks that we could not see. Detailed ambient indoor air sampling alongside localized outdoor baseline controls.  Advanced wall cavity core sampling to actively look for hidden moisture issues.  Direct surface swab testing of several suspect areas. Exact diagnostic tracking data, including localized relative humidity levels and digital moisture-meter readings.  Yes, humidity over 5k or 60 percent makes mold grow. You need good air circulation as well as good dehumidifiers when you live close to the ocean. Clear photographic documentation with matching room diagrams and structural descriptions.  We knew of several areas that absolutely needed testing. And Tim was great in suggesting what areas we might want to test for hidden leaks based on his thermal image readings. He also pointed out where such tests were not needed. What makes this company unique is that they are true, dedicated environmental specialists. Because they literally have the inspection process down to a science and utilize top-notch, highly calibrated equipment, their operation is streamlined. As a result, their pricing was extremely fair and competitive--in fact, their rates were actually lower than some generic, non-specialized home inspectors we looked into.  While initially we planned to have 1 company do all the environmental testing, we found it was less costly and better testing to go with specialists rather than "we do it all companies". It was a super-smart decision. We went with Mold Sci (Tim) for the mold testing and a 2nd specialty company for the asbestos and lead testing (Enviro Diagnostics, Costa Mesa). If you are buying a home, selling your home, or managing an estate property, we highly recommend both companies we worked with and would hire them both again. Tim and Mold Inspection Sciences were top-notch... professional, friendly, scientifically thorough, and excellent value.

    11:50 AM Over my 20+…read moreyears in claims, first as a Public Adjuster--and before that as an insurance adjuster- and aslo as an insurance Appraiser and court appointed Umpire on disputed claims--I've worked claims all over the USA and two foreign countries. I have met numerous industrial hygienists on sewage, pollutant, trauma/bodily fluid, smoke and fire damage claims. Too many hygienists talk a good game but fail to deliver when it counts. Sol Environmental is better. Sol was recommended to me by a senior entertainment attorney overseeing a large legal team, and that endorsement proved accurate. When I first met with Raul and Nick at Sol Environmental, I immediately recognized their technical depth and concern for the clients. They discussed testing protocols for contaminants that most hygienists overlook or simply don't understand--particularly the volatile organic compounds and particulate matter that pose serious health risks in post-fire environments. When other hygients test for lead and asbestos, Sol is testing for everything: mercuty, silica, arsenic, dioxins, cadmium, barium lithium, you name it in addition to the lead and asbestos. What sets Sol apart is their background as specialty remediation contractors. They don't just identify contamination--they understand the actual remediation process, which makes their protocols far more comprehensive and defensible than what I typically see from competitors. Their protocols meet the standard of care, which is rare in this field. Sometimes I just need good sampling and lab results. But if i need a defensible step by step protocol, Sol is great. More importantly, they're willing to stand their ground when insurance carriers bring in questionable experts pushing junk science to minimize scope and deny proper remediation. Sol backs up their findings with solid scientific evidence and proper testing methodology. In claims where bad faith is already an issue, having a hygienist who won't fold under pressure is invaluable. I've referred Sol Environmental to multiple clients, and they've consistently helped secure the proper remediation my clients deserve. They do difficult work in contentious situations, and they do it well. I recommend them without reservation. Leland Coontz, Public Adjuster license #2B53445 (714) 724 1767
