Description of Work: It took 9 or 10 days to get the results back. I called once to ask what was taking so long but they were very rude about it but gave me a credit of $30 because of the wait then I was told by the owner in an e-mail that they didn't want to do business with me again and call someone else next time. Wow, I've never been insulted like that in my life. Very strange. All I did was ask why it took so long.

Response from Same Day Mold Testing Inc
This member was comparing our company's service to her anecdotal accounts from friends and acquaintances, which was complicating our communication. This member purchased 1 week lab results, but was comparing our turnaround to someone else that got his or her lab results the next day. Note: We offer a Next Day Lab Results that she could have purchased if she wanted a faster turnaround. Our contract and website stipulates that reports could take 10 business days to produce, which is especially true for 1 week lab results that can include two weekends and a holiday in some instances. We delivered our product based on the turnaround time she paid for and in accordance with our company policy. We did encourage the member to shop elsewhere for her next service because it would be counterproductive for her to complain about our service when her sphere of influence is telling her she can get better service elsewhere. We don't see why she would be insulted that she would be encouraged to shop elsewhere if she didn't like the service she received. The point of this review is that if you're hiring a company that promotes same day service, you should be prepared to pay for expedited results. If that's what you really want. We encourage customers to contact us with the particulars of your situation so that we can advise you on the best approach to your mold concerns. Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

Description of Work: I wanted to check to see whether a broken dryer vent had resulted in mold in our walls or crawlspace. A technician arrived to take air samples in our crawlspace as well as the room we were worried about. He also took a sample outside for comparison. They charge $75 per sample so it can add up quickly depending on how many areas you are worried about. The technician was fast and efficient and we received our lab results by email about a week later. I must confess I don't understand the lab results but our tech says the air is clean so that helps set our minds at ease. No complaints.

We had a leak and our floor specialist thought he found mold, so we immediately called Jason. He came out and not only tested for mold, but took a sample for asbestos, because we had a rather unusual looking growth on the floor board. Thankfully, we had neither, which was a great relief, and Jason worked with us on the price to give us the best deal possible. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and we're very glad Jason recommended the asbestos testing as well. Also, this is the second time we've used Same Day, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

My newly installed Air Conditioning unit has a very strong musty smell and I was concerned about a mold problem. I called Same Day Mold Testing on a Saturday and spoke with Jason. Jason arrived 3 hours later at my home and carefully inspected every room, kitchen and bathrooms. He took an air sample before the A/C was running, and another with the A/C running, and one sample of the outside air. His inspection did not indicate a mold problem and I have just received the results of the air samples and they are also negative. This makes sense because the smell was not there with the old A/C. His price was very reasonable and he spent the time to do a complete evaluation. I find Jason to be a very thorough and honest person. The results of the air samples came as promised and Jason is a very cordial and pleasant person that I can recommend to everyone.

I thought they did a good job. They were rather overinclusive in the problem areas they identified, but I suppose that is expected because they need to protect themselves. All inspectors do that (whether they are general home inspectors, mold inspectors, anything). I thought they did a good job giving me a realistic assessment of how big the potential problem areas were, which was that they were not a big deal, but I went ahead and ordered the tests anyway for peace of mind. I liked them and would use them again.

home inspection

A roof leak caused minor damage to a closet ceiling in the office of my home. Because of the musky ordor emitting from the closet, we suspected the presence of mold so we hired Same Day Mold Testing (SDMT) to peform an inspection and take air samples for analysis. Since the inspection includes the entire house, we had SDMT conduct an inspection of areas where we thought mold might be present. During this inspection, we discovered a leaking pipe under the sink in the master bedroom. Jason was very professional and through in conducting his inspection. During our initial phone call, he outlined the services that he performs and the costs involved. There were no surprises. It was refreshing to do business with someone who is honest and forthright.

The whole project went as well as can be expected, given that no one wants a mold problem, but Jason makes sure it gets handled.
Description of Work: There was a mold problem in a property I have. Jason was thorough, and conscientious about determining what the problem was, and what was needed to rectify the situation. He did the testing very thoroughly, and then determined what remediation that had to be done. After remediation, subsequent testing was performed to make sure that the problem had been fixed. A number of remediation companies are offered to fix the problem. It is up to the consumer to determine which company to choose. Or find one themselves. I chose one of Jason's recommended companies after looking at the options and was pleased with the results, both cost-wise and results-wise. If you have a mold problem, I definitely recommend Jason and Same Day Mold Testing to get it solved.

Jason came out on very short notice to take a few samples during our mold remediation, which was great. He was polite, courteous, the price was competitive, and he had the lab results available to us the next day. I would have given Jason/Same Day an 'A' for service, if it weren't for the fact that Jason called and emailed me on multiple occassions to leave an Angie's list review. I explained to him that I would leave a review, but that I was busy with work, so I would get to it when I could. He then left me two more voicemails about it and seemed irritated in yet another follow-up email re it that I hadn't left the review. Jason's work was good, but I would recommend to him that he not harass customers about reviews. Most people are extremely busy, but if they are part of the Angie's community, are very cognizant of the importance of reviews and are more than willing to write them when they have the time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and constructive feedback. We trust that members will discern the level of service provided was A rated despite the issue of follow up. Here are two points to consider that address the post-inspection follow up: 1. Angie's List strongly encourages businesses to follow up for reviews. The fact that everyone is so busy is the reason for the follow up. 2. As a company policy, we follow up once unless payment is outstanding. Company policy is to receive payment at the time of inspection. Here are some specifics about this job: 1. Payment was not received at the time of inspection. We agreed it would be in the mail immediately. It took a week to receive payment. 2. Three calls were made: one to notify of results, one to follow up on payment, and a third to acknowledge payment. In each call mention was made of the review, but it was not the sole reason for the call. The last two calls were voicemails. The third call was stipulated as the last call from the company. 3. Three emails were sent before the exchange about the company's request for a review: one to deliver the report, request payment, and reminder for review. This is standard operating procedure. The second was in response to a customer question about additional services and to acknowledge that payment will be mailed. The third was to confirm payment received. All emails mentioned the review but were not the sole reason for the contact. The emails that were exchanged after the first three were about customer taking issue with the multiple mentions of review. The concern was acknowledged and the concluding email reflected a review would not be necessary if there wasn't enough time. We have a testimonial on our website: that reflects "Great Follow-up Skills." So we recognize that one customers perception can be opposite to another. But "harass" seems to be an overstatement considering all the components of the communication. There was no irritation by this writer, only concern that there was in-congruence between what Angie's List encourages businesses to do and the reaction of a customer when it was done. We recognize that some customers don't want to be contacted after a job has been done and we try to observe that by sending an all inclusive email when sending the work product (i.e. report & lab results). While this was an interesting learning experience, I concur with the customer the working relationship was cordial, professional and satisfactory. It is greatly appreciated that a customer takes the time to express dissatisfaction as well as the good experience. We are always open to constructive feedback that will enable us to provide excellent service and great overall value. Jason Harris, CMI

Jason came out on a Sunday, and was very punctual and professional. He gave us good advice, recommending what he thought we needed. He explained how he tested for mold, and what the result would tell us. He clearly explained that he does not remove the mold, only the "remediation", meaning ascertaining the presence of mold. Before he tested he recommended closing the few holes we have in our floor, for coaxial cables, and such. We got the test results in less than a week, with a clean bill of health. As we have not smelled the ordor, since I meticulously closed the holes in the floor, it appears we were smelling the stale and musty air from beneath our 1954 home.
Description of Work: We had a weird smell in our study, and wanted to test for the presence of mold.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the level of service you received! Especially for answering the "Additional Answers" section of the report. I know it can be painful to part with $75 per sample and that is why we strategized together to get the best overall value. Relative to the industry norm for sample fees, we are very competitive. Thanks for the "heads up" on the ceiling fans! Note: The quotation "remediation" is misstated. Remediation is removal. We are a "Test Only" operation, which means we inspect, test and consult on mold-related matters. We do not perform mold remediation, which is what you should look for when hiring an inspection company. Otherwise, you run the risk of a mold remediation company coming out for "free" then upselling expensive samples and/or inflating estimates for removal. The proverbial saying still holds true..."There is no such thing as a free lunch." Jason Harris, CMI

Thank you for the opportunity to provide same day service! I would like to address the B ratings. Price: The second inspection was done at the re-inspection rate even though it was the first inspection for both properties, which resulted in a $50 savings. Two inspections and 8 samples for the price seem very competitive. Punctuality: The first property was inspected within 1.5 hours of receiving the intial phone call. Access had to be worked out with a local representative. The second property was inspected 1.75 hours after leaving the first property. The samples from the first inspection were also delivered to the lab within that timeframe. Considering traffic from Harbor City to West L.A. at 3pm, that seems about as punctual as can be. There were no firm appointment times. They were both inspected as soon as possible. Quality: All things considered it would seem that Quality would be an A as well, but it is a subjective category and I respect the grade nonetheless. If there are specific points that can be relayed as quality improvement measures, they will gladly be taken into consideration. We always encourage constructive feedback from our valued customers and clients. Jason Harris, CMI

I phoned Jason when my mold problem began and he explained to me that he did testing only -- not remediation, mold removal or cleanup. I as concerned with how much I was spending overall on my mold remediation project. He explained that it's useful to have an independent professional do the testing so that there is no conflict of interest in terms of how much work is recommended after the test. Though I agreed with him, I still decided to go with the in-house tester of the remediation company I worked with, because it was basically included in the cost of the remediation. However, at the end of the remediation work, the air must be tested again and in that sense even the company I was working with insisted that I use a third-party company (so it could never be said they tampered with the results). They recommended someone to me, but simultaneous to that Jason phoned me to follow up and check-in. When I told him where I was at, he offered me a very competitive rate for the follow-up testing -- a good 30% less than what the other company was asking. I jumped at it because I realized I had to buy this test one way or the other and he was offering me a great price. He arrived punctually to do the tests, was extremely courteous and clear from start to finish, and then emailed a very readable and thorough scientific report (in layman's language) so I knew exactly what the results were. I was extremely pleased with his services and would use him again.

We are glad to know you can appreciate the distinction between a "test only" company versus a "test and remove" company.

INSPECTOR JASON HARRIS WAS CLEAR AND CONCISE DURING MY PHONE INQUIRY REGARDING THE INSPECTION AND ESTIMATE. DURING THE INSPECTION HE EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT HIS ACTIONS AND HIS RECOMMENDATIONS IN A PATIENT AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER. POST-INSPECTION, HE PROVIDED A REPORT SUMMARIZING THE INSPECTION ON THE SAME DAY. THE EXPERIENCE OVERALL WAS REALLY POSITIVE AND I AM REQUESTING HIS SERVICES FOR THE WATER DAMAGE AT MY CURRENT RESIDENCE. PLEASE CONTINUE THE GREAT SERVICE!

My next door neighbors in my condo complex had a water leak that they did not repair for a long time, which caused mold to start growing. I could smell it in my kitchen, which shares a wall with my neighbors where the water was leaking in their home. I knew that I needed to get a mold test to see if it was something I could eradicate myself or if it was a more dangerous type of mold. I got 3 estimates for doing the mold testing and Harris Environmental's estimate was considerably lower than the other 2, so I decided to go with them. Jason was very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and understood my budget constraints and also helped me make a good decision about how many samples to take to get the most accurate result without busting my budget. He also called me a little earlier than our scheduled appointment time to see if we could do the appointment a little early (that doesn't happen very often!). I got the results of the mold testing within a week. He sent them via email with a cover letter that explained in laymen's terms what the lab results meant. He also followed up with phone calls to make sure we received and understood the reports. Overall, Jason is a very professional person and was a pleasure to work with.
