Bought an Angie's List deal for mold inspection. Inspector was on time and professional. The inspection didn't find any mold, and as far as I'm aware, he didn't miss anything. A solid performance and I would use them again.

I was very happy with the service. We were worried about our baby's health, and after getting the information we had all we needed to know to make a decision about what to do.
Description of Work: Jason described the services to me on the phone, came to the house, examined the mold in the house, gave his professional opinion, discussed choices with me, took samples, and followed up with the lab results.

The companies that did business in my area they were eager to have my business as opposed to somebody else that I called who was not on Angie's list. They were very prompt, very thorough and the report that they produced was very well done. I was happy with them and I am quite satisfied. I still have one question that I need to call him about, but I haven't had time to do it yet. I would use them again.
Description of Work: I used Same Day Mold Testing in January. They did a lot of of air samples and swab sample as well as visual inspection.

home inspection
  + -1 more
I contacted SDMT last week in regards to water in our crawl space, wanted them to come see if there was mold or sings of mold under the house as well as a few connected exterior walls. Someone from the office contacted me to set up an appointment on 1/2/13. I told her what I wanted, we had just bought the house, had an inspection, but they were very vague about this issue. I told her that we were having work done to our home so that was the reason I wanted to have someone out so that they could do work while the walls were open to save us money if there were any issues. Jason arrived between the time frame he was supposed to between 9-10. Got to the house. I explained my issues to him and he very quickly told me that it would not be worth my while at this point to do any testing for IAQ because the walls were open. I wanted him to check my crawlspace and test to see if there was mold in exterior walls. I was a bit clear as to why this was not feasible. I explained to him that I was a licensed architect and I have my LEED accredited so I understood this stuff and why we may/may not be getting ponding in the crawlspace. He went on to tell me that he didn't think it was worth his time to get any thing at this point but he was still going to charge me $100.00 to come out to the house. Which really SHOCKED ME. He was coming out from Playa Vista, was there for about 10 minutes and had the nerve to tell me that he was going to charge 100. I told him if that was the case then I wanted him to go down to the crawlspace and do the inspection, he quickly retracted and said, fine I'll only charge you 50.00 for coming out bc of gas and my time. He didn't tell me anything I didn't know, for example you have mold in the cabinet because of steam, call a soils engineer to see why you have water in your crawlspace, etc. He said to me once I told him I wanted him to go down to the crawlspace that, "didn't you say you had an inspection and your inspector said that there wasn't any mold," hoping that I would change my mind and that he wouldn't have to go down there. He them said but "I'll do whatever you want me to do and if I don't do any work today, we can work with you on the price next time. I laughed inside. Next time. As a professional in this field I deal with general contractors, sub contractors and clients all the time. I think Jason was put off buy someone who's also educated in the field. By no means am I a mold expert which is why I had the company come out. The fact that he even charged me $$ and made it seem like he provided such a fantastic service was a joke. I understand that he did make the effort to come out but if I had not made a issue about paying $100.00 for no reason he would have gone ahead and taken that from me. He should have from the beginning said since I suggest not doing any work I'll only charge you 50 today for my time and next time when the walls are closed up we'll give you discount. I asked about the 17% discount and he was very quick to explain to me that they charge $145.00 blah, blah, blah and if he did apply it I would be paying 85.00 and so I was already getting a huge discount. FYI: He did nothing when he came to my home except take some pictures. The rest was common sense. Also I said that when I spoke to the women on the phone I told her that we were having work done and if this was going to be an issue I would have reschedule for when the company could actually help me. I told that to Jason and of course he's like well I don't see it on the report. Why would I lie. I have a full time job and he met me at 10 a.m. I lose money by not going to work. All this being said he "tried" to be polite but it was not sincere, and again I've worked with many contractors and subs in my day for the past 10 years. Would not use them again because of his attitude and the fact that he was ready to take $100.00 from me for no reason at all. Lesson learned. Apologize for typos.
Description of Work: I contacted SDMT last week in regards to water in our crawl space, wanted them to come see if there was mold or sings of mold under the house (crawlspace) as well as a few connected exterior walls. He walked around the house and inside the house, took pictures. No work was done and no anticipation of a report.

Response from Same Day Mold Testing Inc
This review is a little on the dramatic side, presumably because she didn't receive the level of service she read about from other members. Her review is slanted to make me look like I did a disservice when, in actuality, I saved her hundreds of dollars in sampling that would have been recommended by an unscrupulous inspector that was more concerned with making money. Having work done on a house and having an exterior common wall completely removed are two different scenarios. An exterior wall was completely removed allowing indoor air to flow throughout the house. That should have been specified during the initial conversation to book the appointment. Crawlspace – A crawlspace inspection could have been performed and I offered to do that for the quoted price. I explained that a crawlspace inspection without air sampling is incomplete if an occupant wants to know whether indoor air quality is being compromised by crawlspace fungal activity. Indoor air quality will not yield optimal results with a missing exterior common wall and substantial renovation work in progress. Licensed Architect – It didn't bother me in the least the customer was a licensed architect. I converse with highly intelligent customers all the time because Angie’s list tends to attract highly intelligent, affluent subscribers. Perhaps she felt the need to boast her pedigree to lend more credibility to her review. I don’t see the point of the comment. It didn't factor into my conversation with her. $50 Time and Travel – A round trip from our office to the location is about 70 miles. The fact that I was coming from Playa Vista doesn't diminish that fact. At current gas rates, it cost about $15 in fuel. At least 1.5 hours in travel & time was spent speaking with the customer. $50 is hardly a waste of money even if what was discussed is common sense (contacting the city about the water table for the area is not common knowledge). Hundreds of dollars were saved that could have been spent at a later date when the construction work settled down at the property. An inspector more concerned with his/her income would have gladly taken several samples at $100 each. Work In Progress - Given the fact a contractor was already ripping out walls in a vacant property, one could argue there was no need for a mold inspection at all. Simply rip out the walls to eradicate what’s visible. Contractors know to wear personal protective equipment while working. It’s all part of a day’s work for them. But I did offer a discount to come back and perform an inspection and sampling at a later date when property conditions are more conducive to yielding meaningful results. You simply do not want to perform an indoor air quality assessment with an exterior wall missing because outdoor air is diluting the indoors, which could result in a faulty conclusion relative to a mold problem. Exterior Wall Sampling – Sampling the surface of an exterior wall is only justified when there is substantial fungal growth present, which there was not. Even then, it may pose no threat to indoor air quality. Sampling a wall cavity of an exterior wall can be accomplished by collecting the sample from the interior side of the wall because the wall cavity is in between the two. There is less damage to drywall/plaster than to stucco or wood siding when drilling a hole. Mold spores can be present inside a wall and not adversely affect indoor air quality. Wall cavity sampling should be done in conjunction with air quality sampling to better understand the implication for occupants. Full service (test and remove) mold companies will gladly collect a wall cavity sample without air quality for the room because they know most walls contain some level of mold. They use it as a basis for recommending thousands of dollars’ worth of repair work that may be unnecessary: full service mold companies typically exaggerate problems and overcharge for solutions. They will glad visit your property for free because they get it back in a repair estimate that is virtually guaranteed with each customer they visit. Even though this was a negative review of our company, I appreciate the feedback. It is my hope that prospective customers will look at both sides of the story and make a good hiring decision. If we are not the company for the job, we appreciate you taking the time to read the review in its entirety. If we are the company for your mold inspection needs, we look forward to serving you. Respectfully, Jason Harris, CMI Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

The technician showed up on time. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He completed the tasks in an timely efficient manner. While we are still waiting for results we are very happy with the level of professionalism they have shown thus far. We did receive the results in a very timely fashion and we used this company again for clearances after the mold was removed. Again, they were very professional and expedient. We are very impressed with the responsiveness of this company and would definitely use them again and recommend them.
Description of Work: Inspected our property, consulted with us about the problem and took air samples.

Small leak from laundry hose that pooled water on concrete slab in garage and seeped into adjoining room, soaking a part of the carpet pad and minor water staining on small area of baseboards. Same day scheduling was done quickly however the I technician was 15 mins late before calling to let me know he'd be 2additional hours late. Given that this was a rental property that they knew in advance, it was annoying that I had to rearrange my day along with my tenants. At the appt the technician was polite, professional, and courteous. However the Angie's list coupon was only good for discount off the inspection and not the tests. I felt my lack of knowledge and fears of tenant lawsuit were fueled by the inspector and that multiple (10) samples was recommended to be taken. I ended up being conservative and doing just the minimum (3 samples) Turns out they did things right (outside air, room air, wall core samples = 3 submissions) and there was no detectable mold levels of concern. But I didn't appreciate the technician's suggestion to hire $500 and up remediation and water abatement. Again playing into my uneducated fears. Luckily a more knowledgable friend suggested we open the drywall in a small portion ourselves and let things dry out while waiting for the report. Since it was a Friday night inspection the lab testing didn't get back until 4 calendar days later and by then the wall and carpet was dry like a desert! I did like that this company did not do or recommend anyone for remediation or mold removal, it keeps them honest. Next time, educate yourself about what factors are required to create the bad mold and in substantial levels. If you acted quickly or the environment was not hospitable to growth, don't panic. 10 lab submissions would be overkill.

Response from Same Day Mold Testing Inc
Anyone familiar with L.A. and O.C. traffic on a Friday afternoon knows that if you are even 15 minutes late to get en route to your destination it can easily translate into rush hour delays. The day of this inspection was no exception. And anyone familiar with home inspections of practically any type knows that every job is different. The job prior to this one was in Santa Monica and ran long by more than an hour. Getting from Santa Monica to Cypress is about as bad as gets for a rush hour commute. We offered an apology and an estimated time of arrival if the customer wanted to reschedule. The Angie’s List Coupon and our Business Profile stipulate the 17% discount applies to the initial inspection fee, so that should not have come as a surprise. We do not collect samples at every inspection and we have to pay the laboratory to process samples when they are submitted. For these reasons, we do not discount sampling fees. The sampling protocol recommendations were due to the fact that most walls in the room were affected by water damage. While there were fans blowing at the time of arrival, the carpet was still damp. There were also positive moisture readings in the drywall. When water penetrates several walls, it is standard operating procedure to collect wall cavity samples from each wall to: 1. Determine the extent of mold contamination, and 2. Provide parameters (square footage) to assist in defining the scope of work should remediation be necessary. While the member may have thought it to be “overkill” we routinely see multiple walls that harbor mold contamination that adversely affects air quality. The sampling recommendation was based on our experience investigating various types of water damage events. We respect the member’s declination of our sampling recommendation. With respect to a $500 remediation recommendation, the member must have misunderstood or misinterpreted a statement made by the inspector. We do not perform remediation so there would be no incentive for us to make such a recommendation. Additionally, we do not know what remediation companies charge for their service so we would be unable to quote such a number. We do not know the basis (or context) in which a comment was made by the inspector. It is our position that the member misinterpreted a statement or topic of conversation. The customer purchased the 24 hour lab result option on a Friday after 6pm. Weekends do not count towards lab turnaround times, which is beyond our control. Therefore, the deadline was Tuesday morning. The member was notified of the lab results Tuesday morning. We appreciate the review and the compliments relative to being polite, professional and courteous. Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

Called on a weekend. Jason Harris fit me on a day that was already full and, in fact, went into night. He met me at a hard-to-reach property at the appointed time and did a thorough testing. Jason looked not only at that bathroom but also at the whole house. He tested that room, the adjoining room, the hall, and outside the house most professionally. His friendly, no-pressure manner made the whole process easy and cordial. The report was delivered quickly, and it served the remediation company very well. On side matters, we had a pleasant e-mail exchange. Some time later, I needed another copy of the invoice. No problem for Jason. I should have written this review sooner, and if I were as efficient as Jason, I would have. If you see anything that looks like mold, call Jason. He is tops.

Thank you for providing such a generous report on your experience! We really appreciate anyone who takes the time to submit a report. It helps other members make sound hiring decisions when reporting member's are conscientious about the content in their report...Better late than never "Test Only" is an important distinction from a full service or "Test and Remove" company. Such companies have been known to prey on consumer fears by exaggerating problems and overcharging for solutions. Even "Remove Only" companies offer to come out for no-to-low cost in order to arrive first. They essentially do the same up-sell for repairs because that's how they make their money. Once a mold problem has been positively identified by a test only company, a remove only company should be hired for the repair. Afterwards, the test only company should be rehired to verify the mold removal was performed in accordance with industry standards. Post-remediation verification is a small price to pay after spending thousands for a mold repair. Jason Harris, CMI Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

I thought I saw mold on my ceiling. I call various mold testing and mold remediation companies. Same Day Mold Testing was the most professional on the phone. They answered a lot of questions which was helpful because I had no idea what to do. Tyisha made a follow-up call which impressed me as good business practices. I eventually hired them because of the professionalism and price. I felt that others were hiking up the price and also trying to scare me. Marelle came to the house as scheduled and explained everything to me?the various kinds of testing and the various scenarios that might occur, I had him do a surface swab test only and he did not pressure me to do the others. I am awaiting the results of the testing, but feel much relieved that it may not be as bad as I had imnagined. Marelle's knowledge is extensive so I feel I benefited from that.

I purchased a Big Deal for Mold Testing as I had been having some allergic episodes and flare ups of my asthma that seemed to coincide with moving into my new house. Tho our home inspection didn't suggest we had any mold problems, I was concerned and wanted to check further. Jason arrived on time and did a thorough testing of the bedroom and other suspect areas. He was very accomodating, even checking an area of the garage I was worried about. Happily, all the testing came back negative and Jason's conclusion was that no further testing or action would be necessary. Best of all, having the mold testing done gave me peace of mind.

They were great, everything went as planned. It was very thorough, it was a little expensive because I decided to have at least 11 samples taken, but we got a full report and we would feel confident if we we want to sell our house later. There was a follow up email from them thanking us for the business and I have no complaints. I would recommend them!

The service was very good overall! I called to set up the appointment and my husband was here while they tested. They were extremely thorough. We had a problem with mold in one room, but they also tested the connecting rooms too; they found that the highest content of air borne spores was actually two rooms down from the original room. Even though their initial price seems low, each additional type of mold is extra, but in the long run, we’re glad to have gotten these tests done!

Having skipped the mold inspection during my house purchase, we took the opportunity of the coupon offered by this company to have it done, not suspecting mold problems. (There was a funny smell in one room that we could not identify -- this inspection did not identify it either, but it was probably rodent related). The inspection was easy to plan and he arrived on time. Mostly they test for humidity near the walls. I did have one moldy panel in my garage which was recommended to replace. Other trouble areas were identified. While no mold in my home was identified, he did point out a leak under my sink which he recommended I fix ASAP, and so I did. Overall it was a valuable learning experience for me, and offered some peace of mind.
Description of Work: Had a whole house mold inspection, using "Big Deal" coupon.

I called Jason, made an appointment a couple of days from the first phone call. I didn't catch the name of the person who actually came out, but he was punctual and professional. He gave me his recommendation of the rooms he thought we should test. I think he recommended a total of 8 tests? I wasn't prepared to spend that much money (each test is $75), so he helped me prioritize 3 rooms for a total of 4 tests (3 rooms and they always need an outside test). About a week later I received the results and very helpful suggestions. I first cleaned and then eventually got rid of some floor mats I had in the living room. Since then my 4-year-old son has been breathing better at night.
Description of Work: Same Day Mold testing tested our living room, bedroom, and wash room for mold. A week later they emailed me the reports.

I had a mold freak out when I cleaned out my daughter's outdoor play area. I called Jason right away and he came a few hours later. He was right on time, very professional, and gave great advice. I'm very happy with this company. Definitely recommend Jason.
Description of Work: Jason went through the whole house and our outdoor patio and check for molds.

Response from Same Day Mold Testing Inc
No one is misled about the turnaround time for lab results. If anything, the customer mis-read (or didn't read) the website or contract regarding the lab results turnaround time commitment: turnaround time for lab results begins when the lab receives the samples. Verbal notification of lab results satisfies commitment followed by subsequent written report. The lab received the samples at 5:05pm Friday, which makes the commitment time 5:05pm Monday. The member was notified at 1:39pm on Monday, which is within the 24 hour turnaround time as defined on our website, in our contract and with the laboratory. Our website clearly states that weekends do not count towards turnaround time. Sometimes the lab does produce results on the weekend, but there is no guarantee. Our inspector can explain this, but the customer may have held him to the next day lab result based on a possibility not a promise. Notice the word “should” in the member quote. There are times when lab results come early. But we do not control the lab’s workflow so we can only guarantee the commitment we can control. The inspection report – which is separate from lab results – can take several days to produce depending on the turnaround time for lab results and the volume of work being done in the field. An inspector writes the report back at the office. We cannot write reports from the field. Our contract states it could take as many as 10 days to actually receive a written report. This member received the report Tuesday morning at 10:08am, less than 24 hours after verbal notification. With regard to sampling prices, practically every company charges a different price for sampling. Many variables factor into the price including the laboratory rates being charged the inspection company and the cost of doing business. Every inspection company has similar expenses but may have varying degrees of the same expense. Most companies factor the cost of doing business into the price of their samples. Without knowing much about the other inspector that was hired, it would be speculation to know why the price was what it was. Each inspector/company has the right and discretion to charge what they want to charge for their samples. Most inspection companies make up prices as they go depending on how much they think the customer can pay. Very few companies publish their sampling fees. Same Day Mold Testing, Inc. publishes our prices so there should be no surprise when sampling charges are applicable. We are fully insured and hold current credentials with nationally recognized accrediting organizations. All of that factors into our pricing. Angie’s List service providers also pay a hefty advertising budget to be available to largest amount of members. The inspector who did the retesting did not have that expense to consider when pricing samples. Anybody can drop samples to an accredited laboratory, but that doesn’t mean s/he is a credentialed, qualified microbial investigator. It would be interesting to know if this member verified the credentials of the inspector that did the retesting. We encourage this member to review the other inspector on Angie’s List so he will have an opportunity to be hired and scrutinized by other members. We encourage other members to verify the credentials of the company you are hiring. It is our position this member received the services he paid for in a timely manner consistent with all published information about our pricing policy, including the website and signed contract. It is also noteworthy that our representative was punctual, professional and thorough. We thank the member for providing the report because it provided an opportunity to clarify a topic with a lot of nuance relative to commitment times for our deliverables. We encourage all prospective customers to visit our website to seek clarification about our pricing and services. A call will also accomplish the clarification. But seek the clarification before you write a review so you can speak factually about the specifics of your experience. Respectfully, Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.
