The Mold Hunter did an excellent job coming in and assessing our basement situation. The technician was professional and knowledgeable. I appreciated that the report was emailed the following day and was very thorough. I would highly recommend The Mold Hunter.
Description of Work: The Mold Hunter came in and took air samples both inside our basement as well as outside. The technician also performed several moisture tests. We are very pleased with the work that was done.

Great job! Mike and his crew got rid of the mold and replaced the insulation. They also sealed up the crawlspace and installed a dehumidifier. No one wants to advertise to their neighbors about potential mold issues, so I appreciate the workers arriving in vehicles without logos. I hope I don't need them again, but if I do, I'll be sure to call.
Description of Work: I had a pipe burst under the house causing mold and ruining the insulation.

Mike Smith, The Mold Hunter, Inc., was an extremely easy and professional mold remediation company to work with. Mike was prompt with communications throughout the process, answered all our questions and gave detailed explanations of what was going to be done from testing to remediation, and he provided a detailed and accurate estimate of the cost. His employees were very thorough, competent, and respectful of our property. Mike even gave suggestions as to how we could do some preparation ourselves in order to save money. What more could you ask? We highly recommend Mike for testing and mold remediation.

We had an issue with the AC unit in our crawl which caused a mold condition. Mold spores were circulating throughout or home unbeknownst to us at the time. The condition was found after an extensive search given that our daughter experienced sever symptoms that no other family member experienced. Our daughter was diagnosed with a CIRS condition which made her more prone to mold amounts that others would not normally be sensitive to. We had 2 contractors replace our AC unit and crawl ducts followed by a full encapsulation. We then requested 4 quotes to remediate the dead spores from our 2 level home. The quotes were all over the place with one being opportunistically high given our location and daughters condition. Mold Hunter provided a fair quote and we went with their services. Job took a few weeks to schedule. The crew arrived promptly on the appointment day. The job took 3 days to complete with large scrubbers running 24/7. Air testing was performed which indicated a positive outcome. When we reintroduced our daughter to the home she felt sensitivity to the in home environment. We called the owner of Mold Hunter Mike Smith, who came to our home and spent an hour reviewing our situation to better understanding our daughters sensitivities. Mike offered to bring back a crew and add a protocol for remediation that was suggested by my daughters health provider. It was at no additional expense to us. The additional protocol was recommended after the initial remediation and only after our daughters symptoms were still present. This was above and beyond what we originally contracted the Mold Hunter to provide. Mikes crew spend another 2 days in our home operating under the medical protocol. We had the home tested 3 weeks later ( allowing for a dust build up) and have now succeeded in greatly reducing our daughters symptoms. Mike was sensitive to our very unique situation and took the time to get us to an acceptable level that 99% of average remediation customers would not require. He's an honest business man with integrity. A trait that has all but vanished, most especially in the field of remediation where medical concerns can signal margin opportunity.

It went great! No mold was found, thank goodness! Mike checked several spots that I was concerned about and eased my mind. He did however, find areas of poor insulation and helped me understand what I could do to fix it. Great help!

Mike's technician John was on-time, professional and courteous. I was especially appreciative of this, because I had to reschedule our initial meeting, and it was done so with no problem. Although we did not use his services, he gave us a through assessment of the issues, including what his company could and could not do, for which we paid $150.00 and we appreciated the honesty. Would definitely recommend his company for an initial assessment.

Mike and his team were very professional and responded to our request right away. They were able to come take swab samples and we had results within two business days. Luckily for me there was no need for remediation in this case. I am very happy with the level of service I received and would definitely call The Mold Hunter for any mold-related needs in the future!

The owner's employees were punctual and worked diligently to make certain that our crawl space was in great condition. The owner communicated with us throughout the process so that we knew the status of his crew. I am familiar with this company from several years being in the real estate industry and turned to The Mold Hunter as I knew his reputation was impeccable by many real estate agents throughout the Lake Norman area!
