Get matched with top mold & toxic material testers in Lafayette, LA

"In preparation for a long-awaited bathroom remodel, I decided to try and circumvent excess dust in the rest of the house by putting a large towel in the duct vent in that particular bathroom. MOLD was discovered! Upon checking other ducts, it appeared to be in all of them. After careful research, a company in Mississippi was contacted, M.R.T.E. (Mold Remediation and Testing Experts). They called back very promptly, and Steve Brown spoke at length about his passion, mold. An inspection appointment was scheduled for testing almost immediately. Six different samples were taken from ducts throughout the house, air samples both inside and outside, as well as under the house. Samples were submitted to the lab they use, with results returned overnight. M.R.T.E. suggests remediation (removal) at any mold spore level above 500 per cubic meter (for our specific mold type) in your home. Ours was ~1900!!! It was indicated this high level of colonization occurred over an approximate 10-year time frame, which meant weâ d been breathing this in our air for that length of time. Our home is circa 1962, as are many homes in this area. We had no idea the mold was present, since it isnâ t clearly visible, nor could it be smelled...UNTIL I began preparing for the bathroom remodel. A team of 4 spent 5.5 hours scrubbing, vacuuming, spraying, removing moldy insulation from under the house (17 33-gallon bags of it). They were professional, informative, friendly, guarantee their work, and we found them to be less expensive than most local remediation companies. POINT: If you have ANY doubt, have your home inspected, particularly if you have infants, elderly, or those with chronic conditions living in the home. It just might save loved ones from serious illness (allergies, asthma, COPD, pneumonia) and may even add years to your life that the mold would have insidiously tried to steal from you! We are more than grateful we found the issue and had it resolved. Check out their website for yourself, and compare to what we have locally. You will be glad you did. www.moldremediationandtestingexperts.com Patti/Huntsville, AL"

"I thought he did a good job explaining what he did do but very disappointed they didn't explain that you had to pay a lot extra money to actually find out what kind of mold if any you had. The $199.00 fee they only looked for mold & tested the air quality. If they found any mold it cost a lot more to find out what type. He did say we had mold in our crawl space but not what kind, that cost more money. Overall good for what he did do."

"Answered call live. Scheduled me in same week. Was prompt, curteous, professional. Came with a lot of equipment and safety gear. Took samples around water logged window seal. Used a moisture meter and found significant issues. Sent lab samples out same day and found dangerous levels of mold. Saved my health and my office lease. Can't recommend Jason Fontenot and Mold Man Solutions enough!!"

"The self-test product was as expected. The reports require additional research to interpret and understand, so seemed more targeted at professionals."

"The process was simple, but in New Hampshire, if you live close to Concord, a homeowner can flush water and well with chlorine bleach and have the state lab run the water tests."

"The inspection was fantastic. Inspected an older home so it took quite a while. Left no stone unturned so to speak. Received full report of the inspection the morning after the inspection. Included photos of the problem areas broken down by inside, outside, kitchen, attic, etc. Excellent work, would highly recommend. <br />"

"Jason assessed the situation over the phone and set up an appointment for the following afternoon. Before the appointment, he wanted to make certain that we had extracted all the water. Otherwise, his course of action would have been to help us schedule the cleanup. Jason also gave us a reasonable expectation of minimum costs prior to the appointment. There was no estimate, but we knew the hourly cost and the cost to run each mold sample. I felt I had some idea of what to expect to pay before I agreed to the appointment. Glenn was running late for the appointment, but notified me in plenty of time so that it did not inconvenience me. Once he arrived, he wasted no time. He quickly assessed the situation and surveyed all the affected areas. He found moisture in a few areas and gave us simple, explicit instructions for how to handle the problem. I was very glad we called him because he was able to reassure us about many of the affected areas, and he found problems (moisture) where I had not thought to look. Glenn's approach was practical, down-to-earth, and efficient. His remedies were quick, effective, and relatively simple. Although his fees sounded costly at first, I believe his expertise saved us money. For instance, we were planning to remove all the sheetrock that was involved in the quick flood, but Glenn's assessment told us we had no moisture or mold problem, and verified that the sheetrock was dry and stable. This, alone, saved us a good bit of time, money, and inconvenience. He followed up with a detailed written report. This was good because we needed something to show insurance. In our case, wood floors had been damaged in the flood, and insurance photographs did not show the damage. Glenn's report verified that the floors needed to be removed. Additionally, his report gave us written instructions for continuing the cleanup. When I realized he charged an hourly rate that sounded rather steep, I was very careful about moving things along during Glenn's appointment. However, he did not waste any time. We kept it under an hour and I still felt I got my money's worth. Most of all, I got much-needed peace of mind that I wasn't going to be living in a mold-infested house for years to come. As for the overall value: I'm not sure how to value an expert opinion. Glenn did not DO the work, although I believe his company can provide that service. However, he was very encouraging to us while were doing the work ourselves. In my case, he helped to assure me that I had done the work properly and gave me a course of action to complete the work. I needed that kind of advice, because I have never dealt with standing water or flooding before. I hope I never do again, but if I do... I'll certainly call RTC."

"They are responsible, professional if we have a problem like seeing an occasional roach they would come out and spray. No problems with any experience with them."

"They were amazing!! My son has a medical condition we were wanting to have the air vents cleaned. Not only did rytech do an exceptional job, but they also sanitize the air vents and the air coming out of the vents. We are extremely pleased. We have less dust in our home and the air seems cleaner. They were on time and clean up after themselves. I am thankful we found them. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again."

"I was very pleased with the level of service and my experience was educating. The tech showed me pictures of mold in my AC and the test results were delivered the next day, as promised.Highly recommend."
