Environmental Assessments & Solutions, Inc.

Great. Showed up on time and was very professional, friendly and informative

Charles is great! He responds quickly and makes the process easy! We recommend him highly!

Charles provided an extremely thorough assessment along with various options for remediation. He was trustworthy, provided knowledgeable advice, and was happy to spend as much time with us as we needed in order to feel comfortable and fully informed. Thank you!

Great, Charles helped me figure out exactly what is going on in my home.

Charles provided a thorough inspection of water damaged areas in our apartment and provided detailed reports for remediation. We would absolutely hire him again.

Charles was exceptionally knowledgeable and put forth a plan that we feel very confident in. If we ever need these services again, we will absolutely tap EA&S.

We can’t say enough about how invaluable it was to have Charles guiding us through an asbestos and mold remediation project. Charles helped us through the process from start to finish, including navigating complex insurance issues. I would 100% recommend EAS.

Charles was invaluable to our project. We called him before starting a renovation because we live in an old house and wanted to make sure there was not asbestos in the walls before tearing them down. He took asbestos samples and luckily there was no asbestos. However, when he was here, he noticed mold all along the floor edges in the sunroom. He took samples of the mold and the air. He also suspected mold in the air handler to our HVAC. He was extremely thorough in his inspection of our home. Sure enough, there was mold present. He helped us find a mold remediation expert and supervised the job. When the mold remediator was finished, Charles found a spot that they missed so was able to facilitate bringing the remediator back to complete the job. Charles goes above and beyond in terms of his availability, his involvement throughout the job, his willingness to provide advice and his help in working with contractors. He is extremely knowledgeable. In addition to the above work, he is now helping us with post renovation cleanup. Our general contractor removed fiberglass insulation without proper precautions, so our entire upstairs is covered in fiberglass dust. Charles helped refer us to an appropriate cleanup service and he devised a work plan that will keep us all safe during cleanup. I can't say enough about Charles's professionalism, devotion to his job, generosity with his time and his expertise.

Charles did help me every step of the way through the process. I would strongly recommend him.

Charles Schwartz USA first-rate professional. He is knowledgeable and meticulously thorough; he does his job consistently well. He is also a splendid source of advice and guidance through a process that is unfamiliar to most people. We greatly appreciate his services and recommend him without reservation.

Very professional and knowledgeable about mold as well as the overall inspection of the area. This company did an amazing job locating the source of the problem and provided detailed step by step plans to help remove and remediate the mold. Charles is wonderful to work with, he was patient and went over the report with us in full detail. We will definitely use them again in the future.

We could not be happier with Charles Schwartz and Environmental Assessment & Solutions. We had a sudden severe mold outbreak from a leak in the boiler that caused serious damage to our basement. Charles was on scene within several hours, and was able to locate and stop the leak himself. He was highly organized, professional, and efficient and got the air testing and repair process underway in lightning time. As someone on chemotherapy to whom mold is potentially dangerous, I especially appreciated his professional background in health services. He always did what he said he was going to do, when he said it was going to be done. He saw us through every step of the process. Not only did he perform all services to our great satisfaction, he also seemed to genuinely care about our well being. This was a major crisis for our household, and we feel very grateful that we found such a consummate and experienced professional to help us navigate the process from beginning to end. Would highly recommend Charles and Environmental Assessment & Solutions to everyone.

I am a mother of three young children. My husband and I recently bought a “new” (200-year-old) farmhouse that we fell completely in love with. We had a home inspection performed which told us that asbestos was likely found, but we needed further clarification. The home inspection also found evidence of mold in the basement crawlspace. I soon called a specialist (he also performed lead inspections) who expressed much further concerns with potential lead due to the age of the home and the ages of my children. He came out to my home with a “lead gun” (I’m sure there is a formal name for that) and left me with a report that was very scary and daunting. “Where do I go next?” - was the question I asked myself late at night trying to figure out a strategy. I spent the next several weeks calling asbestos, lead, and mold contractors. It was extremely overwhelming and I felt way in over my head. My youngest son suffers from asthma, allergies, and a heart condition – so making sure our home was safe BEFORE we moved in has always been the priority. I was getting nowhere and more and more confused with different vendors coming out to our “new” home and providing all different options that left my head spinning. I almost gave up, and then I found Charles. Charles is so much more than I can even express in words. He truly cares, he’s meticulous, he’s knowledgeable, he’s informative, and he’s passionate. The first time he came out to our home he did baseline testing to break down for us where everything was at its current state. This was extremely helpful in proving that the remediation experts indeed made the problem much better instead of making it worse. Please be careful that there are many remediation companies out there that perform their own testing themselves AFTER their job has been completed. The tests are nowhere near as specific as what Charles performs. Charles put everything into perspective for me and took the time to actually teach me about all of the tests that he would be performing and why they are specific and important in determining the baseline. We spent hours together on the first visit. He took the time with me to go through the entire house and provide his own visual inspection AND even help me start the project planning process in accordance with my very tight 5-week timeframe. I can still recall driving home that evening and finally feeling a sense of accomplishment and ease that I was now in the right hands and we would be getting the proper guidance in this journey towards make our home safe for our family. Charles is extremely responsive and hard-working. I swear the guy works around the clock and never stops! It’s so appreciated when you’re under such time constraints and need answers and planning. There is never any hesitation with him. We began the project planning together and I started bringing in vendors to evaluate the scope of the work and keep us on our timeline. He was always one step ahead – creating detailed reports / scope of work and very specific details even down to the exact make / model / size of the dehumidifier that should be utilized after the mold remediation was completed in our crawlspace. Now let’s talk about his inspections – where do I start. If you’re looking for someone to cut corners or turn a blind eye, Charles is NOT for you. If you do indeed want to feel confident in the fact that the contractor that you hired performed their job sufficiently and remediated all underlying issues than Charles IS the guy for you. Charles left no stone unturned in checking the work of my contractors and that is an understatement. Our initial Mold / Asbestos Remediation team provided me with a certificate of completion and “tests” showing that the issues were resolved. The asbestos immediately failed the visual inspection from Charles and the air quality test for mold showed that the levels actually increased after uncovering more mold during the remediation and not treating properly. They came back a second time and passed the asbestos test, but the testing from Charles indicated that the mold worsened yet again. Charles worked with me to hire a new Mold Remediation team with more experience in this arena. Charles spoke with the Project Manager throughout the scope of the remediation which lasted four days and as a result, all mold was remediated and all air quality tests were phenomenal. The due-diligence did not stop here. Charles worked directly with my lead cleanup team to organize when he would be performing his testing after their work was completed. He took all of the weight off my shoulders which allowed me to focus on other parts of the project and prepare for our move. Finally, Charles worked with my environmental company who performed our duct cleaning after everything else was completed. Due to negligence, Charles had failed the visual inspection three times before bringing another company in to perform the job adequately and to professional standards. Without Charles, I would have been naive to have assumed that the job was completed properly and would have exposed my son with lung and heart problems to filthy air coming from ducts that were not properly cleaned and most likely would have triggered an asthma attack. I kept asking myself throughout this process – “how many innocent families trust that the work they are having done by professionals is being done properly and to the highest standards?”. We as consumers trust in the fact that contractors come to do their jobs properly (and I’m sure many do!), but that was NOT the case for us and we NEVER would have been privy to this if it wasn’t for Charles. It’s been an adventure, but one I would do over again with him by our side. In retrospect, we honestly NEVER could have done this without Charles – he is so much more than a health inspector. At this point in time and after all we’ve been through, I’d much rather call him a friend! There is nobody else out there like him and trust me – I’ve done the research and spent the countless hours looking for someone like him (before actually finding him). I now feel confident in the decision that we made to purchase our “new” farmhouse and are looking forward to many, many years of health and happiness in our safe home with Charles ultimately being the main reason for this.

When we suspected mold growth in our basement after storm Ida, we called Charles of Environmental Assessments & Solutions, Inc. We worked with him in the past and we are confident that there is no one more knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, timely, and professional than Charles! Highly recommend.

The assessment was thorough and complete with the plan for remediation outlined in detail. The report of the final clearance followed and was presented to the insurance agent and to me. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needed these type of services. Excellent work!

Charles Schwartz of environmental assessment is a true professional. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. His work was prompt, on time and appropriately charged. 5 stars!!

We were so grateful to have found Charles of EAS after our toilet malfunctioned leading to sewage waste water all throughout the lower level of our house. Charles was both professional and thorough as he initially assessed the damage caused by the water. He discovered some hidden problems that had been exposed by the damage and helped us navigate all the necessary work, including mold remediation and asbestos abatement. We could tell he cared about us and making sure all the work was done properly and safely. Thanks to Charles we were more informed when dealing with our insurance to know what was covered under our policy. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Charles Schwartz was available immediately for us when we called. We met him the next day, and he did an extremely thorough mold inspection/assessment of the house we were planning to buy. He tested the surfaces and the air for mold. We were able to determine what type of mold it was, where it was located, the extent of the problem, the cause of the problem and a plan to remediate. He was highly professional and scientific. He was patient with us, available to answer our questions, and thorough in his report. We felt very much able to trust his advice, and now have a plan in terms of moving forward with what we will need the seller to do in order to properly remediate the problem. We would definitely highly recommend his services.

Charles was fantastic to work with and the service was excellent. Within days we had a full assessment with comprehensive reports regarding our home's lead, asbestos, and mold hazards. I couldn't recommend working with Charles more highly! You'll get personalized one-to-one service (he does all the inspections himself) with clear and specific results that give you real peace of mind and the ability to quickly remedy any issues that are uncovered.

When we discovered we had asbestos in our basement, hiring Charles was the best decision we made. Our problem turned out to be more extensive than originally thought but Charles helped us through the project. He was always available to answer our questions and above all provided excellent advice and recommendations on how to proceed. As a homeowner unfamiliar with the process used to remove asbestos, he became our trusted adviser throughout the project. I would strongly recommend his services to others faced with an asbestos problem.

It went very well. Charles was very friend;y and professional, and he clearly explained what he was doing and what all the results were. WE were very happy with the services.

good - not that I wanted it to come out as it did but thorough job by Charles

Excellent work timely and efficient

EAS immediately answered my inquiry and he was able to schedule for the next day. Charles, the owner of the company personally came to inspect the apartment and did a very thorough check of the air quality, lead, asbestos and mold. We called him in to test for visible mold and he found that we had a bigger problem then what we originally called him in for. I highly recommend his services and quick turn around on the lab results and inspector report.

Everything went very smoothly. All the work done was orchestrated perfectly with great consideration to the client.
