Get matched with top asbestos inspectors in Philadelphia, PA

"Great! They were on time, neat and very easy to deal with. The process couldn’t have went any smoother. I highly recommend for any asbestos or Mold removal!"

"I contacted Doug Ferry on very short notice after my home inspector found what he thought might be asbestos in the HVAC ducts carved into the concrete foundation of a home that I was in the process of purchasing in Willingboro, NJ. I called him after hours and he returned my call in minutes. The following day Doug was in the property performing his tests and found asbestos not only in the HVAC ducts but in two different flooring tiles (which he found on his own without my having to ask.) He also suggested testing some ceiling tiles but those turned out to be clear. Long story short: Doug gave me the information I needed in order to make my purchase decision quickly, courteously and with exemplary professionalism. If you suspect that you might have or be looking to buy or sell a home that might contain asbestos look no further. I could not recommend his services more highly."

"We wanted to get a mold testing done on our first home purchase and were very nervous because there was a basement settlement crack and some moisture had come in. <br /> Pete was very knowledgeable and courteous. He completed the Mold inspection in 30 minutes, but stayed back to go over other concerns that I had regarding the house. <br /> He explained to me in detail why he thought that the repair work was done properly and actually was able to identify the source of the water that had come in. (Other contractors and inspectors had not been able to give the seller this information) <br /> I was also planning to have the stucco inspection done by Pete. Pete completed the mold testing and did a visual inspection of the stucco. He assured me that the builder had put every safety measure during construction of the house and that he could say with very high probability that there would be no issues with the stucco. <br /> <br /> I really appreciate the fact that he did not want me to waste money by getting a thorough inspection.( money that he would have made!!). <br /> <br /> I am very happy and satisfied by his work and would advise anyone who is having a mold inspection or a stucco inspection done, go through Real Estate Inspections."

"It was frustrating. I bought the service because of an Angie's List promotion. When I received the package I opened it and saw what it was and set it aside. I was very busy and planned to get to it in a few days. I had to go out of town for a few days, then I had a ridiculous string of bad luck with multiple car breakdowns. I have a neuromuscular disease so everything I do is very difficult and exhausting. With so much happening, I forgot about the test kit. Then after a couple weeks I get a call from Mold Lab asking about the kit saying it was past the due back date and they were going to charge me $25 a day late fee on the pump. I was stunned! I opened the box and there was nothing inside saying it was due by a certain time. I re-read the Angie's List ad and there was nothing there either. The lady was very rude and kept interrupting me saying the same things over and over like maybe I would finally understand if she kept repeating it. I understood the first time. She wouldn't listen to understand I didn't know about the deadline but now that I was made aware of it I would do the testing that day and ship it that day. What else could I do? That wasn't good enough she had to repeat her lecture a few more times. After sending it in I was told I would receive a text when it was complete and I would receive an email with results within a few days. After a month I called and the same lady answered. She claimed to have sent an email, but didn't know the date and told me to check my junk mail folder. I checked everywhere but had no record of it. I explained I hadn't received the text either, she had no response for that. So she sent an email while we were on the phone and I received it immediately. I printed out the results but without the proper training or experience in laboratory sciences it was basically useless."

"Very well. All were professional and friendly. Installation was clean. Test result prior to active mitigation was 38.4 and post active mitigation <.03 which is fantastic. Would highly recommend Radon-Rid."

"Environmental Testing & Research Laboratories, Inc. sent a package with 2 vials and instructions for collecting the samples.  I collected the samples as instructed, completed a questionnaire, and returned the sample vials as instructed.  A week or two later they sent the analysis.  Everything went as expected.  There were no problems. <br />"

"Joe performed the home inspected on the house we are planning on buying. He was extremely thorough and explained everything he was doing through each step of the process. We are grateful to Joe because he found mold in the basement and alerted us right away. We were able to have it tested and it was confirmed within the hour that it was in fact mold. Now we can present that back to the seller as an issue to be fixed. Thank goodness for Joe!"

"The first time Michael came to the house, he looked at all of the areas we plan to remodel (3 bathrooms) and gave us his opinion on what materials could potentially contain asbestos.  He also volunteered to check out the basement as well.  In the basement, he identified old tiles and glue that could have asbestos, however we decided not to have them tested as we do not plan to disturb them at this point.  He also mentioned that there could be old asbestos insulation behind a vent we plan to move in the master bath, as well as possible asbestos containing tile under our current bathroom tile (the floor is raised, so it appears a new tile floor was put over the old one).  As we are now getting ready to demo that bathroom, we asked him to come back out to take samples.  When he opened the vent, he could see no insulation.  He broke up a bit of the tile as well, but only found a thicker concrete wet bed underneath, no old tile floor.  It was a relief to us!  Therefore, there were no samples taken.  Michael did all of this work free of charge.  I definitely plan to contact him again in the future if we have any other asbestos related concerns. <br />"

"Asbestos USA met all my expectations."

"I have used a couple of home inspectors in the past decades, but nothing compares to the thorough, professional and complete inspection that was provided. <br /> John showed up early and was doing and exterior inspection of the house taking photographs. Importantly, use inspecting the property while the ground was frozen and ice and snow were evident around the house.  <br /> He inspected the exterior condition of the house, and also discovered underfloor soffits (the property used to have Bay Windows) were not sealed. He noted the direction and depth of ponding water in the back of the house, and made a suggestion that this would be ongoing and a swale might have to be installed. With the snow and falling that subsequently followed, this prediction and observation turned out to be 100% true.  he also observed roof shingles that had peeled back in the direction of the prevailing wind, and recommended that this be fixed. <br /> Mr. Muffi also noted that the porch railings were loose and suggested that they were a safety hazard and ought to be prepared and tightened. Upon entering the house, basic and small issues such as loose towel racks etc. were quickly noted. In the kitchen, he also inspected each appliance and tested operation of each appliance. He opened every faucet and sink tap and check the hot water. <br /> Because we had been provided before and after pictures of the renovation by the builder, John was able to see that behind the drywall all the insulation had been done. Before we saw the photographs, he was clear that we wouldn't know about the insulation and how good it was until a snowstorm. <br /> In the basement, he noted that the walls were sound as far as cracks etc., noted some missing parts on the main electric box, and also noted previous work on the joists on the floor and recommended a formal in query to the builder as to why the joist had been replaced. <br /> In my mind's eye, by using JM Property Inspections, we went into purchasing this house knowing all the facts ahead of time, and making sure the problems were remedied. I was particularly impressed that with out seeing water come into the house, he predicted that it might happen ? which it did ? two weeks later. <br /> I have never seen a home inspection performed by somebody as professional and thorough as Mr. Muffi. the big picture and the smallest details were not neglected. I have already recommended him to somebody else that I know is looking for a home inspector. <br /> I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you John! <br />"
