Having participated in a research grant through HUD, SafeHouse helped 30 families whose children suffered chronic illness to what was eventually linked to “water damage” not properly mitigated. Let SafeHouse be the first team to respond to mitigate conditions linked to the health effects and deterioration of building materials. Specializing in wind, water and mold damage remediation and restoring your property call us today. Let us show you the difference in what other typical water cleanup companies do making it look like it never happened, as compared to what SafeHouse has been doing to ensure the health and safety of those you care for. Residential, commercial and industrial properties SafeHouse offers the most comprehensive skilled team of certified water mitigation and licensed IEP, indoor environmental testing and professional mold remediation and asbestos abatement services as well as restoration, reconstruction and remodeling solutions. In offices, hotel rooms, apartments, assisted living, medical facilities, public and government buildings to residential homes and investment properties first we’ll track the damage, diagnose the conditions causing the problem at your property and restore it to a pre-loss or “better improved condition.” Call or click to schedule a free consultation with our licensed wind, water damage and mold experts so SafeHouse can get started discussing your situation and project goals. Water damage response, mold prevention and remediation, roof repair and replacements, attic services, drywall finishing, painting, cabinets, flooring replacement let us help you whether this is an insured loss or not. We pride ourselves on the fact that we work for you, not your insurance company. We provide quality work to return you to a pre-loss SafeHouse condition while offering the opportunity for you to have us completely remodel your kitchen, bathrooms, basements or build you that staircase or bookshelves you’ve always wanted.

"Safehouse Solutions did extensive work on my entire home from which they had to remove drywall from the ceilings and walls. They did a poor job of covering my belongings (see pictures). Things had to be moved multiple times but should have been recovered. They did not cover floors properly either (see pictures). The workers worked only a few hours a day (even though I left the house vacant for them). Neither Nancy or Michael were aware of the lack of progress until I informed them. This was near the deadline for my project. I was never given a estimate from the painter. Nancy only told me how much he was charging but never gave me a written estimate. The texture to my ceilings was not the correct one I requested. When they removed shelves and pictures from walls they did not keep the screws with the items for rehanging. Two of the bedroom ceilings are horribly redone (picture). Nancy told me "that's the best they could do with the texture" and then told me if I wanted it fixed properly I would need a drop ceiling and that would be an additional cost to me. I had a contractor out to evaluate and he stated it could be fixed. Nancy than denied saying she ever said that to me. I had many questions and concerns which she was supposed to address with me but would not. Nancy often contradicts herself. Both Michael and Nancy talk over you when you have concerns. Her painters painted over dust on walls and doors. The paint in one of the rooms has oil streaks in it from not being stirred prior to painting. Also a month later the paint in one room is beginning to chip. The team was supposed to place all furniture back to the original spot/room but they failed to do that in my living and dining rooms. They left several sheets of drywall in my home for days and drywall mud/sand and paint in my garage for 3 weeks. She sent me a bill even though these items were still in my garage. How could my bill have been accurate when all the product was at my house. I never got any compensation for storing these items for her or even an apology for the inconvenience. Nancy does not accept accountability for the mistakes that her team has made. She just keeps sending you a reminder to pay the bill. I also got headaches, frustration and felt most of my concerns were ignored by Safehouse solutions."

"Went very well and would definitely recommend this company. Thorough, explained every aspect of the job and how to prevent future problems. Project manager on site, all employees pleasant, worked as a team, contained the problem and were readily available for questions, concerns. Work was done on schedule and communication was excellent. I can’t say enough about how great they were. It was a big job and they did what they said they’d do and did it very well. No mess to clean up"

Eco-Seal Home Solutions has been drying up and fixing problem basements all across Ohio for years. We are located in the middle of Amish Country (Holmes County) which has provided us with an employee base that has helped hold a high standard in providing value to you the Customer!! Call us for STRAIGHT ANSWERS, SIMPLE SOLUTIONS.

"We had chalking around the base of our basement walls. We met the Eco-Seal representatives at a home show and set up an appointment for someone to come to our home to give an estimate for repairs. At the appointment we were told that we needed excavation around the house, waterproofing coating and membrane on the outside of the foundation, then a backfill of rock. We agreed to the process. What was not explained is that the drain tile that was going in the bottom of the trench would be emptying into our sump pump. As a matter of fact, during the process I was under the impression that it would empty into the downspout pipe that drains to the street. When the work was done, we started to notice that the sump pump was running every 10 minutes during rain. Before the work, it ran just a couple of times a year. I chalked it up to the system working to keep the moisture away. This past Sunday, we had a storm. The power went out for about an hour. The sump pump was not working. We bailed water for almost an hour to prevent our basement from flooding. On Monday, we called Eco-Systems and were told that it stated in our paperwork that the drain would empty into the pump. Sure enough in tiny, handwritten print, we found this statement. Now we have gone from having a little chalk on the floor to having the very real possibility of the entire basement flooding in case of a power outage. Tuesday night, after spending the day researching how to resolve this issue, the power went out again. MY HUSBAND AND I SPENT 5 HOURS, 48 MINUTES BAILING WATER AND RUNNING IT UP THE STAIRS IN BUCKETS. The water was coming in so fast, we couldn't stop the process or the sump would overflow. We ended up having a plumber in to install a battery backup sump. This will only work for a few hours during a power outage. We will eventually have to have a generator installed at a cost in the thousands so we can leave for vacations and such without having to be worried the entire time that the power will fail and our basement will flood. Eco-Seal did send out a representative today. He apologized for not having told us about this possibility. I repeatedly asked that he do so for future homeowners. This should be an informed decision on their part. I went so far as to suggest that there be a caution included in the written information given to prospective customers. I hope this company makes some changes based on our experience."

FAQs for indoor air quality testing projects in Burbank, OH

You should test your home's air quality if you or your family experience health problems like allergies or respiratory issues, as these could be linked to indoor contaminants. Also, consider testing if you're concerned about mold, radon, carbon monoxide, or if you've recently had home construction, demolition, excavation, or remodeling that could have released chemicals into your indoor air.

An indoor air quality test typically takes one to three hours to complete. After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed written report within two to 10 days. The evaluation includes comprehensive air sampling from all designated areas in your home. Your specialist will review the findings with you and provide clear guidance on steps to take if any issues are found, helping ensure your indoor environment meets health and safety standards.

A certified indoor air quality consultant or inspector is the right professional to perform your indoor air test. While some home inspectors have certifications, they often subcontract this specialized work to trained professionals with advanced tools. This expert will thoroughly evaluate air samples from every area in your home and clearly explain the findings to you. Be sure to confirm your tester's credentials before scheduling your service.
