"Larry's responsiveness, quick response time and explanation of the test run was GREAT. We didn't expect to get it back so quickly, but Larry took the time to explain it to me and I'm super happy that I did the test. The property needs to have some work done to reduce the mold spore counts which we are actively pursing.  I've contacted Larry (3) times and every time, he's answered the phone on the first call and even on a Saturday. I would definitely use this company again and will refer friends. Great Job Larry!!! <br />"

"I was glad with how fast, friendly, easy it went for me to turn it in and get results quickly. They helped with my Angie's discount so it was good to know i got the best price (less than I imagined) to have this done. The possibility of having mold in a house is stressful enough... glad to have this go smoothly."

"My inspector was named David Williams. I used him twice and both times, he was thorough, honest and really clear about the various strengths and challenges of each property. Plus, his demeanor is professional and amicable. I wish he lived closer, 'cause I feel like he'd be a clutch BFF. Ha ha ha. Very talented and very helpful. THANK YOU! I wish every part of the home buying experience was this easy!"

"I received my radon results in a timely manner. I did not hire them specifically, (so, I cannot say I would hire them again) the local company contracted them for this service. The home inspector I hired, handled this service for me and included the results in his report."

"We had water in our crawlspace after heavy rain. We hired Adam Basement to remedy the problem after consulting with three companies. We hired Adam Basement because of their excellent reputation in our neighborhood and because Bob of Adam Basement is a superb communicator, who explained the problem and proposed solution to us in a logical and easy-to-understand manner. Adam Basement installed a pressure relief sub-floor drainage system with a drainpipe and two sump pumps. They treated the crawlspace for mold and mildew and wrapped the floor and walls with a vapor barrier. Adam Basement’s technicians were hard-working, technically proficient, and professional, and their office staff were responsive and helpful. We’ve had the system for six months and are very pleased. The crawlspace has remained bone dry after heavy rain, and it looks and smells great. Adam Basement stands behind its work, as it provides a 10-year sump pump warranty and a lifetime, transferable waterproofing system warranty. We wholeheartedly recommend Adam Basement for basement repairs or waterproofing."

"Because we anticipate moving to a CCRC soon, we wanted to get our house "in shape" so it could be easily sold; no glitches, like radon above 4.0 pCi/L, which we've known it was for many years. Recent long-term tests of cancer rates among people in homes with radon above 4.0 vs. those below 4.0 produced some surprising results: People in homes with LOWER than 4.0 had HIGHER incidents of lung cancer than those with radon ABOVE 4.0. But, of course, the EPA is intractable on the subject, so ignores such studies, forcing homeowners with >4.0 pCi/L to spend a fair amount of money to reduce it below the arbitrary 4.0 before they sell their house. We contacted two companies. The first offered by far the lowest price, but did so without anyone from the company coming to the house to see what would be involved. We have a poured-concrete basement with a French drain all the way around it. A French drain is great if you have water seeping through the walls because it allows the water to drain back into the ground. But it also provides a path for radon to enter the house, so it has to be closed. In addition, you would not want to leave the drain open because the remediation is done by an exhaust fan that pulls the radon from under the basement floor and discharges it above the roof. Leaving a French drain open could cause the exhaust fan to create a negative pressure in the house, thereby pulling cold air in the winter and hot air in the summer into the house. So it had to be closed. I asked the first company if their quote included sealing the French drain. Their response was that they could seal all cracks in the floor, but the responder didn't know about the drain. Two emails to them about that question were ignored. The second company was Reliable. Although their bid was higher, the company owner came to the house (on time!), inspected the basement thoroughly and explained in detail what they would do, which included sealing the French drain. They used our sump (we have no sump pump) as the radon extraction point. If you don't have a sump, they have to cut a hole in the floor. In order to seal the French drain, they give you the option of (a) moving everything away from the walls or (b) adding $100 to the estimate and they will move the stuff for you. We moved it ourselves. The job was finished in 4 hours and was beautifully done. The only "con": The cover that seals the sump was left with lots of PVC glue spilled on it and on the floor around it. Not a big deal, but it will require us to clean it up with solvents and paint the cover so it looks neat. We highly recommend this company. In our opinion, they're a perfect example of "you get what you pay for"."

"I used and recommend Allstate American Waterproofing. They were fabulous. I was pleased with their professionalism, responsive, and knowledgable they were. When Bob came out to do the assessment, he knew exactly what he was doing. I was very happy with their services and I will use them again. He also gave us a discount."

"I had called Kinetic Basement Solutions because one of my two sump pump pits began filling with water. The pits had no pumps and very little water in them for years but that all changed recently. The team assessed the situation and installed two pumps, one in each pit, along with exterior drainage basins and I no longer worry about the water. They performed the installation about a week after I told them I wanted to move forward and they were nothing but professional. The installation inside was done well and there was no cleanup I had to do when they left! Outside, I had one minor aesthetic concern that was addressed immediately the following day. More companies should be as responsive as Kinetic. Nicole and the office staff are a pleasure to deal with."

FAQs for toxicity and mold removal projects in Clayton, DE

Remediation should keep mold from returning as long as the moisture source is eliminated. Fix leaks, control humidity, and replace water-damaged materials, then schedule periodic inspections to stay ahead of new growth. With those safeguards, your home can stay mold-free for the long haul while protecting both health and property value.

Most pros recommend leaving the home while they work on mold remediation. Removing mold stirs up airborne spores that can aggravate respiratory issues, and contractors can work more efficiently in an empty space. A short, temporary relocation keeps everyone in your family safe and lets the crew finish the job without interruption.

Mold shouldn’t return once the moisture problem is fixed. Stay vigilant: repair leaks right away, keep humidity below 50 percent with a dehumidifier placed in damp areas, and improve ventilation where needed. Routine checks for leaks and mold and quick repairs go a long way toward keeping your home mold-free.

Mold spores can trigger nasal congestion, throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, eye irritation, or skin rashes. People with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems often feel the effects sooner and more intensely. Some molds also release mycotoxins linked to serious respiratory or neurological issues. Swift remediation and better ventilation are the best defenses.
