"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."

"The vendor was punctual and very efficient.  He checked all possibilities of mold caused by the leak behind the washer.  Removed the mold and founded another problem caused by a leak in the master shower.  He also abated that problem a well.  I would not hesitate to use him again. <br />"

"Robert was extremely thorough, knowledgable, kind, and helpful! He inspected my soon-to-be house above Maryland state code, testing every outlet and window in every room, identifying and finding tons of things I had not noticed myself. As part of the process, Robert took pictures of every part of the home he noticed with imperfections, and marked them with red taped dots. The same day he did the home inspection, Robert then used the pictures he'd taken and sent me a multi-page, super detailed report walking me through everything we'd learned about the house, and literally showing me what he was talking about in each picture by putting in and referencing pictures. He spent several hours doing the inspection because it's a large property with multiple floors and buildings on it, and was indispensable with the advice and knowledge he shared with me. He taught me how to replace my furnace filter, showed me how to extend my gutter system to get drainage further from my foundation, and even showed me how to use the new gas stove and taught me about what a convection oven does and how to paint my living room walls. Robert's above and beyond thorough and helpful, and will more than go the extra mile to make sure your home is perfect for me. I plan to keep coming back to him for future recommendations on both contractors for my new home he trusts, and advice on living in an older home. Since the super quick turnaround (same day!) for his report on my home, he also took the time to send me a ton of info following up on what he was teaching me about painting my own place to save money. You won't find a better guy!"

"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.
