Company responded quickly to my email.They agreed to get the permit for us for a very small fee. We were too busy to do it ourselves.Once they received the permit ok, they came when scheduled.They did an excellent job of removing the old oil from the tank, removing the tank, and cleaning up after themselves. They worked well with the inspector who came by during the work.very professional, very easy to work with.in

Description of Work: Kurt was very responsive and arrived on time for our scheduled meeting. He spent about an hour with my husband going through ideas for remediation in the basement. He agreed ton provide us a quote for mold remediation, but that was not to be. We received an email from Kurt a few says later indicating he had gotten a really big job and was not going to provide a quote to bid on our job.

I set the appointment up and took a half day from work to be home for the estimate. The contractor never showed up and I received no advance notice that the appointment would be missed. I called the office repeatedly until I got a receptionist and she was very apologetic, stating this is out of character for both the company and the individual who was supposed to have come to our house. The individual called me later to apologize and offered to set up another appointment for a couple days later, which we did. Then, he stood me up for the second appointment. I left a voicemail for the company on the same day and it has now been three days and I have not heard back from anyone at the company. Stay away, unless if you like clearing your schedule for an appointment and then getting stood up.
Description of Work: This company was supposed to come to my house to give me a mold remediation estimate for my basement.

The whole procedure went very smoothly. The two workers were polite and efficient. They cut the tank up, removed the oil and took the pieces to the truck. No spillage occurred and they swept up after the task was completed.
Description of Work: The old oil tank was removed from the basement. The outside fill pipes were filled with concrete.

asbestos removal

EMG was very easy to work with. Came out promptly for an estimate (in the evening) and completed the work on-time and at the quoted price. They were very informative about the potential risks associated with removing the tile. They explained that it was 'highly likely' that the tiles contained some small percentage of asbestos based on the type and age of the tiles, saving me at least $75 in testing costs up front. In addition, they provided the quote with follow-up air quality monitoring as on option. Based on the small area and low risk of exposure, we decided that we didn't really need the follow up monitoring. EMG was very professional and did exactly what we expected.
Description of Work: Removed 2 layers of vinyl tile in bathroom. They sealed of the work area (even in the basement below the bathroom) and removed all the materials from the house when finished.

It turns out that Mr. Spiess only took care of the oil tank removal, but the men he subcontracted to remove the asbestos did a fine job and everything checked out ok according to air sample tests. The men he hired weren't extremely thorough, but I was able to find a couple of fittings they missed and everything worked out ok. After the work was done, I needed test results quickly in order to begin a renovation. Mr. Spiess rushed the samples to the lab asap, and called me sooner than expected (at the earliest possible time!) with the results. One problem that I had was having phone calls returned, but when we were finally in touch and scheduled the work, everything was fine.
Description of Work: I needed minor asbestos removal and the removal of an old (mostly full) fuel oil tank in my basement.

Great.
Description of Work: Needed minor asbestos removal. Ron Spencer, president of EMG, personally returned my calls and managed the project. The service, professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to customer satisfaction were outstanding throughout the whole process. Can't say enough about how impressed I was with the work and people of this company. Found them on Angie's List, nice!

It went very well. Ron is very informative, patiently explained all angles and aspects of the job to me. He was very reassuring over the phone that my asbestos was not going to kill me. He explained the worst case scenario and best case scenario. Then he told me that Steve from ACI-Tech would come by and take a look at what the problem was the next day. After the asbestos was removed, Ron came, tested the air, was very kind to talk to we chatted about anything and everything. He got the testing done very quickly and called me a few hours later to let me know that the asbestos lever were very very low, way below the problem level. I really appreciate that he got back to me so quickly.
Description of Work: Ron arranged for ACI-Tech, Inc to come and remove the asbestos from my house. He came the following day tested the air in my house.

In planning to grade and landscape our new back yard, we were faced with the disappointing discovery, that we had bought a house with (undisclosed!) significant hidden remnants of an inground concrete pool in the back yard. It was also established that up to 4 feet of earth laced, chock full with the pool debris and construction rubble had been piled onto the yard and pool remnants to hide it all, suffocating and threatening two 75 yr old oaks and two dogwoods, among several other trees. EMG Remediation Services made several site visits at no charge and helped us to craft a strategy and approach, to go in after all of this and clean it up and haul it out. They collaborated with our arborist to ensure the safety of the trees and to minimize impact through hand digging combined w/ the use of heavier equipment. What had been a nagging nightmare for us was solved and accomplished professionally with great attention to our needs and wishes and the safety of our yard environment.
Description of Work: Excavation, demolition, shipping and disposal of imported fill material (buried cinderblocks, rubble, cement slabs, assorted construction debris, rebar) and buried inground concrete swimming pool remnants from back yard. Collaborated with licensed arborist for environmental sensitivity towards existing trees in the yard, which were stressed and suffocating from being buried in the rubble by previous renovation contractors. Achieved original natural yard grade after debris removal: 5 truckloads, approx 125 tons of debris, in four days. Prior to the beginning of this project, the area was drilled to ascertain if any hazardous materials were buried in the pool area there were none.
