Indiana Mold Remediation is a locally owned Indiana company performing mold remediation and testing for the past decade. We welcome your questions, and are happy to provide free advice over the phone. our staff is friendly and easy to work with, and we will not try to scare you into buying services that you do not need.
IMR and My family got off to a rocky start based in a poorly worded estimate provided by me through a homeowner in my purchase transaction. I was made to believe that IMR completed work they only provided an estimate for. IMR understood how the situation was manipulated and worked through my issues with me as true professionals. Brian and his crew went above and beyond, to this point seem to have remedied my situation. They also hauled away debris I had tore out of my basement. They heavily discounted their services to assist in the mishap.
Description of Work: Mold remediation, clean-up, free advice, some peace of mind.

We initially had another company do a mold inspection. That company did an air sample and a swab test. The swab test came back negative but the air sample came back with a small amount of aspergillus. They wouldn't give me any information over the phone. Instead a salesman came out and said we should do a full remediation which would be several thousand dollars. I was a bit skeptical because we received nothing in writing in terms of quotes for the costs. I called Indiana Mold Remediation and asked for an inspection. They did a full inspection and the only visible mold that was found was a small amount on the attic trusses. When they reviewed the labs done previously, they pointed out that we were never given the outside aspergillus air count which was currently almost 10x the amount tested in our home. They said we didn't need remediation. However, we still wanted to get rid of the mold on the attic trusses so there would be no question during the sale of the house. IMR gave me a quote of $500. They returned in 10 days and performed the work. I would highly recommend them as they seem very honest in comparison with the original company we used.

Aaron Lester showed up when they said he would be here. Very personable, went straight to check out our possible mold that was brought to our attention during the sale of our home. He said it was very minor and said it had probably been on the board since it was installed during construction. He said give me 5 minutes and it will be taken care of. It was, he said no charge. Wrote up his response and emailed it to me in about three minutes. I insisted on paying him 50.00 for his gas and time! Highly recommend!

Excellent! The technician was punctual, professional, honest, and knowledgeable. It turned out we didn?t have a significant mold problem. Although we didn?t need to hire Indiana Mold Remediation for further work, the technician was still genuine and went out of his way to make sure all our questions were answered. We definitely recommend this company to others.

From start to finish, Indiana Mold Remediation was fantastic. My initial conversation with Lisa was pleasant, informative, and helpful. She worked to schedule service around what worked best for us. When I explained that an early time would work better based on our baby's schedule, she made sure to note it for the technician who would be coming. Aaron called before coming and was even able to show up earlier than originally stated. Upon arrival, he quickly went to work to determine whether or not there was an issue present. He quickly assuaged our concerns about what we thought could be an issue. He assured us that the issue we identified was common and that if his own family had the small amount of condensation and residue present, he would not be worried. He provided recommendations about future cleaning and maintenance. Although I hope we never need remediation work done, IMR will be the company we use if we do. I highly recommend this service provider based on our experience with them.

I called to schedule an inspection due to some concerns about some mold that we found in our family room wall. Brian answered the phone and completely walked me through the process, educated me about mold and eased my concerns about our issue. I am extremely allergic to mold and have had systemic fungal infections so I was ultra concerned and he was great sharing extra precautions for us to take so I would stay healthy! After our call, my husband was able to do the job and saved us at least $2000.00. Brian could have easily taken advantage us and didn't. He spent close I one hour on the phone discussing our problem and providing solutions. He is extremely knowledgable and pretty funny too. :). Highly recommend.

Brian did an excellent job in explaining the process, coming out on short notice, and ensuring we were pleased with the results. His two assistants were capable, hard working, and respectful of our home. The end results were amazing, and we were very relieved to get this work done quickly as it was a potential roadblock to selling our home. We cannot say enough good things about Brian's professionalism and outstanding customer service skills. Best of all, the next lowest quote we received for this work was $2650, so we can attest the IMR price of $940 was fantastic.
Description of Work: Remediated light but widespread mold infestation in the ceiling of my 900 sq ft unfinished basement. This included removing contaminated insulation around the perimeter, and thoroughly cleaning and applying a preventative treatment to the basement overhead, joists, and the underside of the stairs. Bryan and two assistants performed the job in about 4 hours, leaving my basement ceiling very clean (the joists looked like new) and mold free.

Each time he was unavailable, and I was told he would call me. I have tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, and even told his secretary that I learned about him on Angies List, and they have been requesting a review. I thought that might encourage him to call, but I was wrong. I can't waist my time on him any longer.

[Members name], I am sorry to hear that you have been unable to contact me. I completely understand your frustration, and I agree with you that a complete lack of communication after four attempts deserves an F rating. Clearly, this is a major issue and is totally unacceptable by any standard. I do have a service that answers the phones when I am unavailable; however, I have received no messages from you. I haven't heard any complaints in the past, but I certainly need to make some changes if I am not getting all of my messages. I would like the opportunity to apologize to you personally, [members name]. Please do call us again to allow me to rectify this situation. Be sure you are calling the correct number, 317-867-4766, or email me at brent@indianamold.com Thank you for taking the time to let us know where we are failing and giving us the opportunity to improve.

Before deciding on Indiana Mold Remediation, I spent a LOT of time on the phone with Brian, who answered my many questions and explained the process they use and ways in which we could save money by doing some things ourselves, etc. We had obtained estimates from several other companies, the majority of which used scare tactics and whose estimates were unbelievably high. Brian came to the house, examined the areas of concern, and provided an estimate that evening, broken down so we could decided what services we wanted his company to provide. For example, he told us we could save money by removing old insulation ourselves; by covering the contents in the basement ourselves, etc. Ultimately we decided to have IMR provide all the services itemized in its estimate. Brian assured us that our problem wasn't as bad as we had been led to believe, and thoroughly explained how the job would proceed and how long it would take. On the first day, Brian and his co-workers were running a little late, but called us to let us know that. Everything was explained each step of the way, and the job was completed in about a day and a half. Brian had told us that on the second day there would be an odor that could be unpleasant (like chlorine) and that we might want to leave the house for a few hours, but that it would dissipate. There was an odor, but we opened windows in the downstairs and turned the heat off for a few hours, and it wasn't nearly as bad as we thought it might be. The guys in the crew were friendly and polite and we felt completely comfortable having them in our home. The wood in the floor joists in the basement looks like new and the basement floor was cleaned up and left in better shape than it was before the work started. They also mopped our hardwood foyer where they had been coming in and out of the house, although they really didn't track in much at all. We would absolutely use this company again and highly recommend that anyone considering mold remediation talk to these folks before making a decision. In the past few months we have dealt with several different contractors in addressing various issues with our house, and our experience with Indiana Mold Remediation has been the most satisfactory by far.

We didn't go with them. It was over the phone and it was a house we were going to buy. They were in the ballpark for a decent quote. I didn't think they would overcharge me. They said they didn't think a mold test was necessary because they would clean it the same way which saved $200 for a mold test. The estimate was free. They were on time. I would take a quote from them again.

I was purchasing a home and the inspector discovered a small area of mold in the attic. I called Brian at Indiana Mold Remediation to come out and take a look and tell me what should be done. He stopped out at the home and was great with the current home owners. He called to let me know what he saw and what he recommended for treatment prior to moving forward. He then took care of it on the spot cleaning up that area and assuring me it was not a large problem for me to worry about. He was very professional.

He did not feel we needed his services and most of the clean up could be done by us. He was very knowledgable and understanding to our situation. He was not pushy and took his time making sure all our questions were answered. We would definitely recommend him to others and would be the first to call if we ultimately do need professional services.

Brian Lester is excellent. He is thorough and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions. When our new tenant had concerns, a year after the remediation, Brian took time to drop by the property. He spent over an hour discussing what the remediation process was. I consider this above and beyond what would have been expected.
Description of Work: We had a complex issue in that the remediation had to be done during installation of several windows. Brian co-ordinated with the window company so that the process progressed as efficiently as possible. The result was excellent. I recommend that anyone with mold concerns should call him first.

They were easy to get a hold of and responded very quickly and it was a flat rate for the number of sqft the attic was because they treated the entire attic roof. They did an excellent job very friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend them in the future.
Description of Work: Had mold in the attic from a winter where water was able to build up on the roof deck. This was caused by two things the vent on the bathroom was unhooked and there was a small leak on the plumbing stack. With their expertise they were able to give me ideas of 2 things that caused the problem and they removed all the mold in one simple treatment which I had more that 10 sqft of mold in the attic. They used a spray treatment that took a few days to dry out which I used fans to help with that process.

He also spent a lot of time with me and explained the drain issues I may be having and how to remedy it, even though that was clearly outside of the scope of work he was asked to perform. He also observed that I needed new water supply hoses for my washer. I bought new ones and he said he would replace them for me, which he did. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again with any questions about mold or water damage.
Description of Work: Staff from this company had performed and managed restoration work on my house due to water damage previously. When I had recent damage in my laundry room interior from a drain back-up and mold as a result, I called Brian to help take care of the issue. He was frank with me and told me that my issue was not really that large and could be handled as a DYI project or a handyman - didn't require their service. However, I was pleased with the job they did before and felt confident to have them take care of the job again. Brian agreed to do the work as long as I acknowledged that I may be able to find the work done cheaper. I appreciated the honesty, but felt most comfortable letting him take care of it. He did a great job removing the damaged drywall and baseboards. He also cleaned up the floors. Everything seemed very clean and sanitized after he was done - which was exactly what I was looking for.

Overall fairly good. While they cleaned and wiped down surfaces, there were several area's that were obviously missed. 2 windows, cabinet doors, cabinet shelves. We contacted them and they gave us a 5.5% discount. Not bad, but seemed minimal. I am now contemplating having a new IAQ report done, and seeing what the levels are. They also would not show up until 10- 10:30am and would leave before 4pm. Took 3 days at this schedule.
Description of Work: Remediation. We were moving into a new house (to us built 1965). The basement had previously been flooded and we wanted a clean bill of health. I really had to try hard to contact them. Usually one of the 2 owners was who I would ask for, and that was difficult. Also when speaking with one brother, the other would not know what was going on. We had a IAQ test done on all 3 levels and outside. The levels of Aspergillus/Penicillium and stachbotrys were all extremely high. They came in and put in 2 "Air Scrubbers" and 2 "LGR dehumidifiers". They started on the 2nd story cleaning all horizontal and vertical surfaces and worked their way to the downstairs. Then they did the basement. All that was done there was a power wash and squeegee. I thought that there would be more to it.....
