BioTerra Environmental Solutions LLC

Though listed as such via the website service here on Angie's List the company in question does not do removal or remediation of asbestos. They only test. A bit misleading, but I do not blame the company.

Everything went very smooth, very professional

I've been dealing with BioTerra and Rick for many, many years. I've always had a satisfactory and above average relationship with them as far as their work, their products always being on schedule and staying within budgetary constraints.

BioTerra was on time and courteous. Loved the service and professionalism. Thank you again!

Rick and his team was very prompt, and on the schedule. The turn around time to get my results and reports is the best I received when getting quotes. He was very professional and knowledgeable. All my question were answered and he gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend using his services.

They said the asbestos wasn't dangerous. Note: They do not do remediation!

Very good price and fast response. Went for a second test after finding discovering a subfloor after the first tile was tested negative. I hope I don't find any more surprises, but if I do, I would contact Rick again.

I called this company and the contact "Rick" was VERY helpful. He stated that his company only does testing, but he referred me to two contractors (Which I shall call) that specializes in removal. He was very nice and helpful and did not push for a 'new test' , in order to generate revenue for himself. I find this very honorable and ethical. Based on my conversation with him, I would recommend this company for any testing you may need for your home.

It went very well he was on time and very helpful.

Just a note - Rick does not do abatement, he only does testing. Rick is a good guy. He was able to come out and test quickly. He arrived when he said would, explained what he'd be doing, finished testing quickly, and called with the results within the time frame he said he'd have them. An overall good experience with a quality merchant.

I called them and they explained they don't do asbestos removal and suggested a contractor that does. Polite and professional.

Rick came for the Asbestos Inspection and did a fantastics job.

We had used Bioterra in the past for asbestos air sampling when removing an old floor. We recently had some questions regarding some old piping and Rick came out the next day. Rick looked at the piping and advised that it did not have any asbestos or warrant any testing. As in the past Rick was very flexible, knowledgeable and professional. He takes extra time to answer any and all of your questions. I would recommend Rick to anyone that wants a consultation and/or air sampling.

I didn't need Bioterra's services, but based on our telephone conversations and the referrals which I was given, I would use Bioterra and would recommend their services.

Rick did a great job of being able to scheduling me for the weekend and explained the process in detail while he was setting up his test equipment. The test air pumps had to run for 2 hrs so he left and came back 2 hrs later to pick up the equipment. We were concerned that we would need to run new HVAC ducts that would turn into a huge renovation project. He put our mind to ease by first educating us on what home building components, containing asbestos, are OK to be around and what's unsafe. He also looked around the house for any other signs of asbestos per my request. His gut feel was that we didn't have any asbestos in the air and gave us some tips on adding extra measures to make sure the HVAC stayed safe, which in reality were just things to do to give us a better piece of mind since it was already safe as we got back the test results 2 days later and it confirmed that there was "zero" trace of asbestos in the air...phew!..felt relieved!

Rick was punctual, thorough and patient. He took his time to look around, and answer my questions, and also responded promptly to a question I sent by email. He made sure he understood my questions properly, and carefully examined the areas of concern (roof, AC ducts, piping that had been remediated previously). He also gave me practical advice on how to work around old lead paint, and howto avoid damp and mildew in the basement..

I recently had some tile and ceilings tested for asbestos. Rick was responsive, friendly, and courteous throughout the entire process. He answered all my questions and provided a detailed report, all at a competitive price. I would highly recommend Rick and Bioterra for any testing needs.

Rick was very professional, informative, and thorough. He identified all of the areas of mold and helped us understand the process of remediation to get rid of it for good from all affected areas. He also came back to test after remediation had been done. I'd definitely recommend Rick to anyone in need of mold inspection.

My wife and I are in the process of purchasing a home and were inquiring about having a test done on tiling and siding. Rick had a lot of great information and was extremely knowledgeable about the testing, treatment and removal of Asbestos. He took the time on the phone to assess the severity of the situation and he put us at ease about the whole situation.

Great experience, Rick is clearly knowledgeable and professional. It was easy to schedule for a time that worked with my schedule, Rick called about 30 minutes before the appointment to say he would be 10 minutes late (and he was only ~5 minutes late). Rick collected the flooring sample and asked if there was anything I wanted to know about asbestos & mold risks and/or testing. I really appreciated that he offered to do a visual inspection of other areas that might harbor asbestos or mold, without any hint of a pushy sales pitch. He sent a comprehensive report of the asbestos test--with good news that there was no evidence of asbestos.

Rick called back promptly to schedule sampling. Arrived on time (actually several minutes early). He was very friendly and helpful. He also evaluated some carpet mastic/glue that he said would not contain asbestos and also evaluated some vinyl flooring in my kitchen that I am planning on renovating in a few years. Results arrived within 48 hours as claimed and Rick called to confirm that I received the results. Great service. Price seems right, though I don't have a frame of reference. Would recommend to anyone.

Great communication, professionalism and punctuality. Two air samples were taken and I got the results including a detailed report within 24 hours. Couldn't be more satisfied with Rick's service. He explained everything in detail and responded fast to questions. In addition to the air sampling he checked for potential asbestos hazards in my house. I highly recommend Rick for everybody you has concerns with asbestos in the house - he exceeded my expectations.

Professional. I received a very impressive hard copy & email document explaining all of the parameters of what he would do. He was also very responsive.

Rick was great. Talked me down off the ledge, explained how to handle possible exposure and answered every question I had. The material in question was negative for asbestos but I am still glad I called as Rick found a pieces of asbestos that I was about to demo. Great guy, very knowledgable and followed through on aspects of the job. I thought the price was quite reasonable as well. Thanks- Bill

Rick was really great. I was in need of someone to take a visual inspection quickly and was fortunate that he was already in the area. He showed up on time and took his time and walked me through the house while explaining everything. Rick is super professional and knowledgable. I definitely recommend BioTerra.
