Very well - the air quality in our homes has dramatically improved. I don't smell any and quot;chemicalsand quot; in the house anymore. The air feels fresher. I also now monitor for high CO2 levels in the air. With lower electric fields, the house feels calmer and I sleep better. My nose is less stuff and I rarely get sick now. Don't except your home to be healthy. It is almost impossible to have a really healthy home without considerable effort. There are is an almost endless amount of work that can be done in this area. Very resonably priced, especially considering the fact that he's the only building biologist in our area and one of the few in the country. A great approach for any environmental health issues (autism, cancer, allergies, asthma, etc.)
Description of Work: Alex has been helping to inspect and improve the environmental health of two buildings we own. He has helped with mold and electromagnetic field issues. Also helped with thermal issues, energy saving and reducing chemical exposures from building materials.

We could not have chosen better. He went over and under the house with a fine-toothed comb, pointing out even the smallest area we should be aware of. We learned a lot and all the things Alex pointed out were very helpful in keeping our house healthy. Detailed and quality pictures were taken everywhere to illustrate the situation and a digital manual of the entire investigation and his findings and explanations was provided. Alex had safe products to recommend such as safe caulking or flooring for any repairs we needed. His knowledge of housing and materials is huge and so helpful. I cannot say enough good about Alex - his work and his person.
Description of Work: Alex inspected our home from top to bottom including crawl space for moisture and mold.
