Get matched with top mold and asbestos pros in Warrensburg, MO

"Terrific - huge relief! Wish now that I had not procrastinated getting an estimate. I simply had no time previously and now that I had 2 weeks' time off for the Christmas holiday season, decided I would undertake what I assumed would be the unpleasant task of researching companies, securing an estimate, and beginning to face what I was sure was a significant mold problem. I have a 58 year-old home (which we love and hope to remain in forever - as we moved here for the ranch layout and hardwoods - perfect for 2 family members in wheelchairs). Unfortunately, our beautiful but older home has old, corroding copper pipes in the walls - and pipe in the wall beneath kitchen sink had a few leaks that leaked over time into the wall. After plumbers cut open sheetrock to repair sections of leaking copper pipe (twice) ...as the home warranty plan we have is great and covers removal and replacement of corroded sections of copper pipe for a small co-pay (but only covers removal & replacement of a few inches of pipe around the corroded area rather than covering replacement of the entire 5 ft run of pipe) and we've had a couple sections of pipe in the wall under sink replaced. Each time a section of pipe was replaced, plumbers opened up more sheet rock in the area to expose the pipe - which also exposed mold on a 2 x 4 and insulation in that area. Plumbers had also quoted cost of replacing the entire run of pipe - just in case I ever decide to replace my lower kitchen cabinets, noting that would be a good time to get rid of the entire run of copper pipe. So - back to the mold issue I had avoided for so long, assuming it would be expensive. After getting a few names of mold remediation companies from Angie's List, I quickly read the reviews & noticed several reviews for Advanta Clean of Kansas City mentioned this was not a company looking to secure work if professional assistance was not truly needed and often simply provide a recommendation and advice on how the homeowner can take care of their smaller-than-anticipated work on their own and avoid costly repairs. Reading the reviews provided some relief, and I hoped to get a visit and free estimate from Kevin, as reviews of him were really good. What I actually experienced when Kevin visited our home can't easily be described. My worries and concerns were immediately alleviated. Kevin was highly professional, describing national guidelines recommendations, noting our issue was less substantial than we had thought, and provided 3 different approaches that could be taken - detailing each. The first approach (and one he recommended) was free - simply cleaning up the area ourselves with vinegar and allow it to dry well, along with using a dehumidifier in the house (as humidity was reading high). The second approach (if uncomfortable cleaning the small area of mold on our own) was in the $350 range plus cost for asbestos testing (necessary in a home of our age to ensure crews would be safe while completing repairs) with asbestos testing through an independent company of our choosing (though Kevin could provide info if needed) running ~$400 (this entire second approach was deemed an unnecessary but available option by Kevin), and the third approach was ~$1200 (which covered a significant amount of work...removing lower kitchen cabinets, all sheetrock & insulation behind them, cleaning up the area and using HEPA fans) which Kevin noted was an 'aggressive' but available approach - should we prefer that. I had feared hearing $5k to $6k - so had done nothing for far too long. I wish I had called earlier!! I now have a plan that costs me nothing for now - which I feel safe with (priceless). And, since I already intended to pull out & replace lower kitchen cabinets after saving up a bit (& also replace the 5 ft run of copper pipe in the wall that started all these issues) I now have a solid idea of what it will cost to do the level of agressive mold remediation that I prefer to do (pulling out/checking/replacing insulation near the area) - once I'm ready to be without a functioning kitchen for a bit. Meanwhile, I am very comfortable managing the small area of visible mold on my own. And, will definitely be calling Kevin at AdvantaClean whenever I get around to replacing my lower kitchen cabinets, to do the level of unnecessary but precautionary checking I'd prefer to do. An outstanding, highly professional company that I will be using in the future, and would recommend to friends and family. THANKS!!"

"I had a very quick response to my inquiry. Jory came the next day to take samples to test for asbestos and had the results the following day."

"The Mold One Missouri was very professional from the start to the end. They even came back to our house to redo a mold test in one of the rooms. All this happened September 2022."

"They were very thorough and informative. They gave me information for my final walk through that I could never have had otherwise."

"The technician was very sweet and made us feel comfortable throughout the inspection. He was very knowledgeable in mold. He helped us understand the different types of mold and the possible causes. We would highly recommend them!!"

"Need to contact customer after the inspection with what needs to be done. I had to reach out to them and have not heard from them since even after leaving phone message needing to know recomendations."

"Randy knew what he was doing, had the asbestos tile removed from the small family room in a few hours, negative pressure system, the whole nine yards. Nice guy too. Didn’t cost as much as I was afraid it’d be (under 1k)."

"Mark is an honest and responsible guy to hire. I bought a historical 1904 home with asbestos all over the pipes to the boiler which has to be replaced. I never wanted asbestos pipes down there and often thought about what they might do to me and how they should have been removed 50 years ago. Since they weren't, I got to be the one to deal with it and Mark came out and eliminated this problem from my life. I'm happy, the house is happy, and in the future others will be happy someone finally got it done! He was on the job within the week, did the work on a LOT of pipes in one day with his crew, and I am so relieved that stuff is gone! He's friendly and kind and I would recommend him to everyone. As other old house owners might know, good and honest workers are hard to find. I sure appreciate having a nice experience for a change!"

"It was easy to work with ALM in spite of not living near the home that needed asbestos containing floor tiles removed. They were reasonable and flexible in working with me. They showed up on time and gave me an update with photos when the job was completed."

"He was able to tell me that I didn't have any harmful mold in my house with his air quality test. He also mentioned that a vent cleaning might also help with my allergies."
