First had mold tests in 2 spaces and came back positive. Team came out the following week, removed the mold, including drywall that was effected and all other pieces around it and sprayed down the area. Overall took 2 days and very pleased with how the house was left.

Very prompt - responded to our request by phone within minutes, came over later that day. Mark’s experience in doing this work was evident and his efforts were efficient and he made a thorough inspection of potential mold areas in the home. Amazingly, we had the results in a professional report the next day from an accredited laboratory. Good news was that we had no mold issue - levels outside vs. inside we’re substantially higher.

Very well. Mark came over to assess the situation and take a test of the air. It turned out the mold count was high. In a few days, Scott came to put in the air scrubbers for a weekend and then returned to do the remediation. Scott is great, very professional and serious. He suggested it would be a good idea to get the air ducts cleaned, although they do not do that. I did find another company to do that and I am thankful for that suggestion since it made a great difference.

Mark inspected our basement and the area we suspected might be mold. He took air samples both inside and outside to send to the lab. He was prompt, efficient, professional and informative. Fortunately, we have no toxic mold. Simple clean up will solve the problem.

Mark was great. He met with our roofer and explained that he didn't feel we needed remediation, that our own clean up and sealing the building would work. He offered an air test to confirm. We really appreciate the honesty.

Outstanding - Mark was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional and intent on proving a high quality service at a competitive price. Scott actually performed the mold abatement. He was a very hard worker and did an excellent job. I would use Action Mold Removal again should the need be present in my current home.

Scott did an excellent job of cleaning and treating the mold in my basement, as well as additional work in the attic. Mark, the owner, was so good at returning phone calls when I had questions. I recommend this company to anyone needing this type of work done. Total professionals!!!!

The process was fast and easy, Mark responded to my email through Angie's list within an hour. He was able to have the work started the next day. The work was completed as promised. They removed drywall, removed the mold, treated the studs, used a special air cleaner to keep the mold spores from spreading. I'm probably leaving out some of the technically details, I'm just happy that the job was done quickly and professionally. We we're really pleased with the work they did.

First class operation! Trustworthy and a pleasure to have in our home. Mark responded to call and provided a written quote within 24 hours. Scott performed the mold removal, including laying new plastic sheathing, moving items in crawl space, applying mold resistant sealer on joists, and duct cleaning. Scott explained what he was doing and the extra touches that make you glad you hired these guys and want to recommend to others

The tests came back positive for 2 different molds. I paid $3500.00 to have the mold remediated while they stayed here for a week. She is healthy now, so I think that the remediation was a success.

I hired Action Mold Removal to test the mold levels in my home after my go-to HVAC maintenance company implied strongly to me that I had a dangerous situation with organic matter in my vents and laid out a plan to treat it for nearly $4,000 and advised me that "Testing for mold is expensive; best just to treat it." AMR owner Mark Smith was at my house within a few days. He was professional, punctual, polite, and knowledgeable. He did the testing efficiently and with minimal interruption to my day. His fee was as advertised (with a discount for Angie's List). The testing was done on Saturday. The samples were shipped overnight the following business day (Monday) and results were in my hands early Tuesday afternoon: normal. I saved a lot of money going the AMR route and would hire him again -- though I hope never need to! Highly recommended.

We had to call this company to come back 3 times after initial work because instead of removing mold from floor joists in crawl space Scott just painted over it. After this last time my son still found mold painted over. When I contacted the owner he tried to tell me it was stains leaking through the paint. I included a picture that clearly shows bumps under the white paint, and we were shown that if when you wipe your finger over it that it smears black, then that is mold just painted over it. We did not do our homework on how a mold removal job should be done properly, but now know exactly what should have been done. This company didn't use a lot of mold removal standards. Most information you find will tell you that wood needs to be sprayed with a liquid. This company fogged the crawl space, but also just sprayed the fogger at the joists, which is not the standard and will not properly kill the mold. Another red flag should be only a 90 day warranty versus the standard 1 year warranty that the mold will not grow back. Also, they originally did not create a proper vapor barrier on the ground. We had to call them back to pull the barrier all the way to the walls. They actually tried to tell us that the ground needs to be able to breath. Any information you find on vapor barriers will tell you that the barrier is just that, a barrier between the damp dirt ground and your home above. I question why this company has had such good reviews, but I'm suspecting most homeowners don't actually crawl into the crawlspace to check the work, and they, rightfully so, trust that this company has done the job properly. As another reviewer pointed out, this company likes to put blame on the homeowner, or that the homeowner is just wrong if they gave a negative review. I would suggest to any other homeowner that has had an unsatisfactory job completed by this company that they file complaints with The Better Business Bureau, and the Kentucky Attorney General. This company should not be in the mold removal business if they cannot do the job properly.

Response from Action Mold Pros
This work was performed in October, 2016, in a ranch style house with crawl space. Upon inspection and air sample testing, it was noted that mold originated in laundry room area from a washing machine leak and/or a drain line from the furnace. At the time of inspection, there was no current water leak, as the source of water had been resolved, although, there was adequate moisture in the air to encourage mold growth. Since the water had leaked from the house into the crawl space area, mold was growing there as well. It was noted that the crawl space did not have an adequate vapor barrier and that the insulation in the crawl space was contaminated with mold. Mold was noted upon inspection in the following rooms: laundry, under kitchen sink, hallway, bathroom, bedroom. On the floor joists under the house, in the crawl space, there was a moderate amount of mold. The inside of the house had a small amount of mold growing on the lower walls and baseboards. The house was occupied by the owner's son. The tenant indicated extreme fear of mold. As is customary, the technician performed remediation of the mold in a professional and expert manner, following the methods that meet or exceed industry standards. The first step is to removed contaminated items (if any), such as the aforementioned insulation, before wiping down all of the surface mold with a bucket and rags with a mold detergent. Our mold detergent kills mold within 20 minutes of contact but it does not have any bleaching agents in it so it does not turn the mold stained wood white. The second step is to use cold fogger to spray the mold detergent over the building material and surrounding area. The area is then allowed to dry before beginning the third step. The third step involves the application of two coats of a white mold inhibitor to the raw wood joists. The white inhibitor is just that, it aids in preventing future growth of mold. The inhibitor protects the wood from re-growing mold but the dark staining can sometimes bleed through. After about one week, the customer called to say that her son, living in the house, found mold in the bathroom on the wall behind the tub. The technician went back to inspect the bathroom and found that there was a piece dried glue from an unknown source on the wall, not mold. A couple weeks later, the customer called again to inform me that she had old duct work in the crawl space and laundry room replaced and inside the duct work mold was found. She contracted another company to do a mold test. The interior of the house tested clear of mold. This company also performed a surface sample test for mold in the crawl space where the duct work was replaced. Mold was present, as would be expected, after it was exposed to contaminated duct work. Our technician re-treated the job again, at no additional charge, despite the fact that additional work had been performed by a third party and mold was re-introduced into the area. A few weeks later, she contacted us again, to let us know that mold was coming through the sealer. I explained that this would not be possible, as once the area is treated with mold detergent, it could not grow again. I explained that sometimes dark staining from mold does show through the mold inhibitor sealant, but does not pose any danger or risk of mold re-growing, as previously stated. The sealer is not meant to be a paint, but could be painted over. But, as is our policy, the technician was sent back again, and more sealer was painted on the area, to alleviate any concern of the customer. We were contacted yet again, and the technician went February 3 and February 6 and sanded the mold stains off and resealed, which is way above industry standard and completely unnecessary in the treatment and prevention of mold. But as stated previously, it is our policy to ensure every customer is happy. That is why we get so many good reviews. Our work exceeds industry standard and our customer service is stellar. In response to the customer's comments regarding the vapor barrier, I explained that the barrier needs to cover from one edge of the foundation to the other but should not overlap the foundation as the moisture would just run down the foundation and on top of the plastic. I explained to her the only other option is a total encapsulation where the floor, walls and ceiling are all wrapped in plastic but she told me she had another estimate from a different company and it was much more expensive to do that. It's unfortunate that we were unable to satisfy this customer, but we do feel confident that her home is mold free. We always do a great job as is evident in our Angieslist reviews. We have close to 90 reviews more than double any other company and have won 11 total "Super Service" awards which is unprecedented in this part of the country. We also have an A+ rating with the BBB.
