Get matched with top mold and asbestos pros in Lynden, WA

"

Gerry arrived on time and was very personable. He said he would look in every nook and cranny including cupboards, etc. After his inspection he showed me his findings and explained about taking samples and asked permission for the air samples, as they were $100.00 each. I agreed to all procedures and costs because I felt it was important to know everything. The report was e-mailed to me on the 3rd day as promised and it was very scientific with pictures and readings and all kinds of information. They called to let me know it was done and I appreciated that. I needed to call a few times afterwards with questions and they were always there. The secretary was especially nice because she listened to my concerns regarding some one I hired whom I didn't think was getting the job done right., and also because it was someone they recommended for me because I asked them to give me recommendations.

After receiving the report, and before and after hiring their recommended company, I began looking at the surrounding areas and found more items which had mold. All of my findings were in the very rooms that had been inspected. I found mold on furnishings in our basement main room, which was not included or noted in the report. It has also since been found in our garage..........I felt sure he had looked in the garage because I saw him enter the house from the garage door at one point when I went downstairs to see if he needed anything. This mold is mostly in the insulation on the garage ceiling and some surrounding wood which was found by a home inspector I hired. ..This inspector also found that the wood floors in both bedrooms above the garage showed higher than normal humidity readings and the entire basement flooring is at a 16% reading. ( that would explain the mold found on the furniture) I am so disappointed. I feel I paid 399.00 for someone to find half the mold. I thought I was hiring experts and could rest assured that every room had been thoroughly looked at. I can only assume that checking the flooring for moisture during a mold inspection is optional.

If anyone out there is going to have this kind of inspection I highly recommend staying with the person and really looking at everything because you know your home best, making sure you and the inspector have looked at every possible place for your own peace of mind. I was worried and thought I might be in the way. There was a lot of stuff in all the rooms, however I did offer to move anything to help him get through his inspection. He never asked and I assumed all was well. I'd like also to mention that in the report, after each description of the separate findings, the statement is made that "hidden mold is possible". I learned that getting a thorough inspection is really not possible.

"The crew was very professional, seemed to work well together, did a great job and stayed on budget! :-)"

"Jake is fantastic, respectful, knowledgable, and patient. I learned a ton and felt so much better about the safety of my home after he left. I've told several neighbors about him and his great service. Highly recommend!"

"Ari and Elijah has just completed our new Colorbond Roof ! Excellent job. Couldnt be happier with the results and the service."

"I have lathe and plaster walls so having the option to have a dog come and smell was the best for us. Corinna and her dog Catalina were very professional (I have 2dogs of my own which we put outside). Catalina and Corinna are very professional pair I would highly recommend them to check for mold if your in need of this type of service. We do have mold and will be dealing with that issue. Mold is an issue in western Washington. I have been sneezing multiple times in a row when I sneeze for a few years and found out that is a mold related issue."

"The company employees were professional, knowledgeable and did a great job of outlining the job from start to finish. They provided a quick response to our significant mold problem and were prompt in providing results from the lab when available. I would recommend this company to others."

"Smoothly from start to finish."

"Pro is an important part of their name, and they live it! Protech Environmental is a top notch contractor. We hired them to safely remove vinyl flooring that contained asbestos, after we found them on the WA state Labor & Industries Certified Contractors List. Use this list in combination with Angi before you have any asbestos remediation done. Protech's bid was the lowest bid we received, but that was not the only reason we chose them. Each time we contacted them, they responded within a few hours. We sent Protech and the other bidders questions about their plans for the job, including their workers' vaccination status (they are all vaccinated), how long the work would take, and other things. They responded promptly and completely, and came to the house in advance of the work to make sure they knew exactly what we needed. On the day of the job, they called us several hours before they were to begin, to tell us they had to deal with an equipment problem and would be here about an hour late. They weren't that late, only about 40 minutes. Once they began, they worked efficiently, finishing the work in less time than expected. An important part of asbestos abatement is the clean up at the end of the project, and they did a wonderful job. They did a great job of removing their barriers with only a few spots where their tape took small amounts of paint from the walls. Any staples were removed and the woodwork was not harmed. We are very pleased with Protech's work. We will recommend them to anyone we know and the next time we need a contractor we will look at them first to see if they offer the services we need."
