"Overall was good for what the service is. The technician was a postal worker and home inspector. So mold test company appears to be brokers. Their pricing was competitive from other quotes I received but I honestly think it was pricey for time spent and what they do. But like I said the price was pretty standard from the companies I called, in my opinion. But the technician was attentive and knowledgeable, and friendly."

"We had water seepage/damage in our basement and had to pull up all of our floor tiles in 2 rooms in the basement before we could install a new sump pump/drainage tile system. The floor tiles looked suspicious for asbestos containing materials (ACM). We took a sample of the floor tile to Bussey Environmental to be tested. Bussey confirmed that the tile (but not the mastic underneath) contained ACM. Bussey recommended Bluestone to remove and abate the floor tiles and mold. We hired Bluestone and they gave us a very detailed proposal (much more detailed than other proposals we received) and a reasonable price. Bluestone arrived on the appointed time and day (even came a little earlier). The crew chief was James (Jimmy) Santellano. Jimmy was very professional and friendly and could not have been more accommodating. Bluestone removed all of the floor tiles and abated the mold in the basement rooms. They performed the work in accordance with strick industry standards for removal of hazardous materials. They finished the job in about 6-7 hours and after they finished we had the air tested for both asbestos and mold. We passed all of the tests. Bluestone left the job both clean and neat and ready for the next phase of our basement work. We would recommend Bluestone very highly."

"I recently had Bernhardt Restoration handle mold remediation in my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The remediation specialists who came out were true professionals—they arrived on time, worked efficiently, and demonstrated a level of craftsmanship that is rare to find these days. Their workmanship was meticulous, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing the job was done right. Beyond just solving the problem, they showed respect for my home and my time, which made the entire process seamless. I will absolutely use Bernhardt Restoration again in the future and have no hesitation recommending them to anyone in need of mold remediation or bathroom restoration work. They are reliable, professional, and deliver results of the highest quality."

"Working with Advantaclean on mold remediation project was a nice experience. We noticed mold in patches in our bathroom, Advantaclean they worked on this mold remediation project and the end result, mold free bathroom. After they completed their work also did post test and result came negative. The crew worked on this project are very professional and they did the job nicely. I would highly recommend using them for any mold remediation needs. Thanks to JT, Kaitlyn, Ian and the crew who worked on this project."
Large attic before remediation. This attic was covered very heavily in mold.

"This is a high quality mold/fungi/fungus testing company, with excellent customer service and follow-up. The phones were picked up on the first call each time, and arranging for an appointment was very easy. They arrived on time, were efficient, informing, and friendly in their work, and brought commercial equipment to perform the test samples. The follow up phone call and email on the test results was good, and they provided a potential remediation plan for us to follow on the test results. The third party lab utilized by them had easy to understand numbers, graphs, and descriptions of what was tested. We will do business with Gardner Services again in the near future, and will recommend them to others."

"I had Emerald Build Group come out for a mold inspection, and I’m really glad I chose them. The inspector was polite, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. He even pointed out a few things we hadn’t noticed ourselves. I felt very comfortable throughout the process. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone dealing with moisture or mold issues."

"Arrived on time and explained everything to me about the testing and possibilities. We ended up not having any mold (yay) and David called me with my results, explaining other possibilities for the smell we have been experiencing. It was a great experience!"

FAQs for mold & toxic material test projects in Elgin, IL

Some companies offer a no‑cost phone or video consultation that screens for red flags. If the discussion points to a real issue, the pro will recommend a paid on‑site inspection. The complimentary call clarifies whether you need full testing, but it isn’t a substitute for samples, lab work, or a written report. Always confirm what the free service covers before you schedule.

A standard inspection, which includes basic air and surface samples, takes an average of two hours. If the pro needs to probe hidden spaces, such as wall cavities or ductwork, plan on up to six hours. Extra time allows the inspector to reach tight areas, collect additional samples, and document findings. Lab analysis is a separate process and often adds several business days to the overall timeframe before you receive the full report.

Mold thrives where moisture lingers and air flow is poor. Common hotspots include bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, window sills, HVAC vents, fireplaces, crawl spaces, and enclosed attics. Check these areas regularly—especially after leaks or high‑humidity weather—to catch growth early and avoid costly repairs.

Unchecked mold can knock 20% to 37% off a home’s market value because buyers worry about hidden damage and health risks. Even after remediation, visible staining or a history of major moisture issues can still lower offers and prolong the time on the market. Addressing mold quickly protects both your property’s structural integrity and its resale appeal.
