"The company agreed to see my home within days of calling them. He was friendly and professional. He evaluated the mold growth and determined the cause and cleaned/removed the mold the same day. His prompt service put me at ease and made me feel more secure about my child sleeping in his room. I would definitely hire this company again."

Customers say: Quick response

"Ted Riddick did an excellent job of performing a mold test in our basement, at the buyers request. I was very leary at first, because we recently cleaned the carpets and were concerned and/or confused that mold could be in our basement. We certainly would have known if we had mold in our basement or water coming causing a mold situation. Needless to say no mold was found, and my worries were alleviated. Mr. Riddick is a seasoned inspector, with a deep knowledge all areas of home inspections. He was professional, kind, did a great job."

"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 />"

"TLDR: Best home inspector you could possibly ask for. Don't bother researching anyone else. Book Robert! Long Version: Our realtor highly recommended Robert and set up the appointment for us. Robert sent us all kinds of information prior to the appointment so that we'd know what to expect from him. I read through everything and e-mailed him back a few questions. He was quick to respond and very polite, professional, and clear. He also included tons of reviews in the materials he sent us. They were all 5 star ratings. I'm the kind of person who likes to read the negative reviews because those are the ones that usually tell you what you want to know. So I did my own Google search on him and his company to see what I could find. I couldn't find a single negative review over the course of his 20+ years in business. Needless to say, we kept the appointment. Even with all the highly detailed information Robert gave us, I still didn't really know what to expect since we're first-time home-buyers and have never done anything like this before. He greeted us warmly and one of the first things he said was, "I work for you, not your realtors." I thought that was great! He went through the house with a fine tooth comb, explaining everything to us and giving us lots of tips on how to save money on heating, cooling, plumbing, electricity, repairs, etc. He went up into the attic and into small, hot crawl spaces and other places where the standard home inspector doesn't go, per the MD SoPs. His standards are higher than the state standards for many areas around the home. I was thoroughly impressed with his dedication, attention to detail, and great customer service. You can tell that he really loves what he does, and he's great at it! I left the inspection feeling really good about the house and completely trusted Robert's assessment. He even used a drone to assess and take pictures of the roof and chimney, which came in very handy when the homeowner's association inspected the home and gave us a long list of things that needed to be fixed. With Robert's report and the homeowner's inspection, we were able to negotiate with the sellers to fix all the major things we didn't want to have to deal with ourselves. Robert and our realtors were both really helpful in identifying those things that were cheap and easy for us to fix and those things we should really stand our ground on and insist the sellers fix. It was such a relief to feel like we were valued customers of a highly intelligent and experienced home inspector. He even sent us how-to painting videos after the inspection when we mentioned to him that we would be doing some of the painting in the house ourselves! I can't say enough great things about Robert. All the people that our realtors had recommended so far were stellar. So although I didn't know what to expect, I knew to have high expectations. Robert blew all those expectations away and really went above and beyond for us. You truly cannot go wrong hiring him. It's one of the best decisions we've ever made, and we are extremely grateful to him. Thank you, Robert!"

"This is the first time I’ve written a review, but I feel that I need to commend my exceptionally positive recent experience with Ultimate Carpet Cleaning and Water Damage Restoration. This company’s responsiveness, attention to detail, and outstanding service far exceeded my expectations. Based on excellent on-line reviews, I urgently called Ultimate Water Damage when my entire basement flooded last month after a heavy rain. Within hours, Ultimate’s owner Mr. Andrey Borovkov appeared at my home, removed all remaining water and thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated exposed surfaces throughout my basement. Thanks to his quick response and expertise with carpets, Andrey was able to save brand new wall-to-wall carpeting in the finished section of the basement that we had just replaced due to a prior water backup. Replacing the carpet had been a major undertaking and costly, so we were incredibly relieved that Andrey was able to professionally dry, steam clean, and fully restore the carpet to original, “like new” condition. Andrey deployed fans and professional-grade de-humidifiers throughout the basement and returned to our home a number of times to check on progress fully drying all affected wood and other surfaces to prevent further damage. Throughout these efforts, Andrey was always punctual, exceptionally cordial, professional, and unsparing in attention to details. To our delight, the bill for all this work was extremely fair, and far less than we had paid another company, which did much less work when our basement had flooded previously. Finally, the company made no attempt to solicit a review (writing this is solely my initiative). Based on my exceptionally positive experience, I highly recommend this company to anyone dealing with water mitigation issues"

FAQs for mold & toxic material test projects in Galena, MD

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.
