Environix Testing & Remediation

Great, were on time, did everything they said and for a reasonable price.

We had Dustin Himes as an inspector and he was beyond wonderful. He was right on time, professional and extremely careful in checking every spot for mold or water damage. He went up the attic, behind all the appliances, checked the walls, bathrooms. Once the problem was identified he was quick to offer a solution that was great and actually one we could fix ourselves. We had had another company come out before and they were not able to fix the problem.

They not only removed the mold, they found the causes of same and worked with us to fix these problems. We now have a life-time guarantee that the mold will not return as long as we continue to use the bath room fan, and check periodically for any new mold. Environix will return in about 6-months to 1 year to follow-up on this, and then about every 3 years. The guarantee is good for the life of the house for any owner. The cost was considerably less than we originally anticipated because their remediation method does not require replacement of insulation.

They first had to set up fans to dry out the moisture, then apply a mold-killing app, then encapsulate it. They guarantee their work and the cost was about $1800 less than another company I contacted. I would highly recommend this co. They were prompt, professional, and did an outstanding, quality job.

Great, all promises were received with their work performed

They did a complete assessment for mold, and made sure my home was healthy. They submitted a report and everything, and it was very good. They tested my environment to see if i had an mold and everything. Everything came out find, and they made recommendation on vents and fans. I would give them an A, they did a good job. They were very throughout, they measured everything, the condensation on the windows. They got the meter readings outside and compared them on the inside. Provided a very comprehensive report, and a lab report. They only improvement that I would recommend was that they made a couple errors on the document that I received. I called them and asked them to rectify it, and they have not followed up. Its not big deal, I may give them a call, but I like things precise. They were responsive, because when I followed up I talked to a specialist and she explained to me the readings, what they meant. She went over everything very well with me. They were very punctual.

I have had an experience, and it was very good. They were testing the air to see where the humidity was coming from. The person who came to do the testing was extremely knowledgeable, and he took a lot of time to explain to me what he was doing. The report they provided me was very detailed and gave me very simple steps for me to follow. They were great.

Environix’s analysis concluded I had weatherproofed the house so completely that I was no longer getting sufficient ventilation. Not only was humidity building up so were other undesirable pollens and pollutants. In addition to wall insulation and an exterior vent, they recommended I needed 50 CFM continuous exhaust ventilation for my house and that an HRV system would never pay for itself. I already had a 50 CFM fan in the kitchen so I simply turned it on 24 hours a day. The humidity gradually dropped from 65% to 30% in a month. In the following two winter months it tracked between 30% and 45% depending on the outside temperature and humidity. The condensation throughout the house completely disappeared along with the mold on the windows,window trim and walls. Even the mold in the texture of the shower pan disappeared. Our monthly heating bill for the coldest two months of winter are up about $25-30 per month compared to last year; including January which was 6 degrees colder than last year. Environix was the best $350 deal I’ve ever had.

When they did the inspection, they were thorough and seemed to know what they were talking about. They offered a much cheaper but thorough option than another company.

They were very responsive and courteous on the phone. However, felt they tried to upsell us on a very expensive test that wasn't necessary. Was able to get the paint tested by another company for about 1/4 of the cost using more traditional, yet completely reliable, testing methods.

The actual visit itself went okay. Guy named Dustin was here and he was friendly, punctual, and knowledgeable. So far so good. On site assessment was that we indeed had humidity issue due to less than ideal ventilation around the house. He gave us couple of suggestions on how to fix the issue with constant flow fans and this was all good. We even asked him for his recommendation for an electrician that can do the job since he gave us good impression. As he was leaving, we asked him if he can give us the exact model numbers for those fans since we were eager to fix this problem and he said he will email us the numbers that night. Nothing happened and the next day, we followed up with office about the model numbers. Office didn't know anything about this and Dustin had already gone for vacation so we had to wait. Sure, we understand that people can make a mistake so we were willing to let this go. So we finally wait for them to give us final report and got those model numbers we needed. We wanted to save some bucks so we searched around and got the exact fan models to install. And in the report, we find a very puzzling statement about asbestos; that our house needed to be check for asbestos?! This really freaked us out since we didn't hear anything about this during the visit and this was 5 year old house we recently purchased. We called and wanted to get in touch with him for clarifications and we still have not heard back from them. At this point, we're starting to get annoyed about this whole thing. Now, today was finally the day electrician was scheduled to come and we were at least excited to install these fans since they will help with actual problem we were having. It turns out that model numbers that was in our final report is wrong. The report clearly indicated that we need to apply constant flow fan but the model number they gave us did not have constant flow functionality. We were really lucky that the electrician happened to have a spare in his truck we could use but now I'm just really ******. Needless to say, we had to pay more to get the fan since I found the low price on internet but more than that, I was just really disappointed with level of service from these guys. I mean, they don't call us back when we have dire questions (which their report caused!), they make careless mistakes in their final report to us, etc. The inspection actually cost me over $500 and the level of service I got so far simply doesn't justify that kind of money. Heck, with all the "mistakes" and hiccups I went through here, I wouldn't be satisfied with the service even if I paid much less than that.

The job went perfectly. The people from Environix were prompt, professional, and courteous. They kept us completely informed during the process, and did exactly what they said they would. They were a big help when we didn't know what to do, and I would definitely use them again!

From the start, my experience with Environix was a positive one. My request for information was answered immediately. Dustin came to do the inspection and estimate, and the work commenced as soon as I agreed to the bid. Everything was done with integrity, transparency, and precision. I felt immediate trust working with Dustin and now fully understand his answer to my question about why he enjoys his work...that he can identify problems and fix them. I, too, am glad that he could identify the problems and fix them. His experience and expertise turned a most distressing situation into a pleasant one. After the death of a dear friend, I needed to prepare the house to go on the market. Environix took over the very difficult, overwhelming, and sad task of emptying the home. They then began the work of mold remediation and finished the job leaving the house ready for the contractors who would restore the home to its former glory. I greatly appreciated all the care and respect that the Environix team showed to the house and its former owner. I certainly hope that I won’t have the need for their services in the future, but if I do, I wouldn’t hesitate to enlist their services again.

On day of service, workers arrived on time, at 8AM. They worked all day to complete five attic spaces. Due to heat in attics, they rescheduled work for last attic for the following week. There was some confusion regarding the ducting of fans. We were able to clear up this misunderstanding and Environix came back, and made the correction at no extra cost to us.

We had a leaking downstairs basement celing with potential mold issues suspected. Dustin completed a thorough investigation of our whole home. On the spot recommendations about what needs doing. Only recommends work that is necessary. The pricing to me fully complimented the high quality of service.

Very skilled, prompt, friendly service. Showed him where the attic was and left him to do the work. I asked a lot of questions and was very happy with the answers. So worth the money and I would recommend this company to anyone. I read through all Angie's List reviews before choosing this company, so there were no surprises.

There was concern that the ceilings might be damaged. But afterwards the ceiling were in great shape. The came in and did the job in an efficient manner. Sometimes it took some time to get responses back from the manager so that was the only thing that could have been improved.

During renovation of our kitchen, we had some concerns whether there was asbestos in the insulation. We called Environix at 4PM in the afternoon (on a Wed) scrambling to find a company to do testing as soon as possible. The ladies I talked to were wonderful to work with and they had someone out at our house at 8AM the next morning. Alan showed up exactly on time and was very helpful in determining which areas to be concerned with. We opted to test for all materials in the kitchen (drywall texturing & insulation) even thought the insulation might not have been necessary. Cost was $180 to sample the drywall and $70 to test the insulation. The total bill was $439. We were told we'd have to wait until Tuesday to get the results - unfortunately we weren't that patience and really wanted answers before the weekend. We called again, and once more the people we talked to were very helpful and called up the lab to see if we could expedite our testing. Even though it cost an additional $80 for the quick turn around, we received final word on the results by 2PM on Friday. Overall, great experience and professionalism.

These guys were great. I would definitely use them again. I purchased a property with three residences on it and all showed signs of mold and mildew. I was concerned about how safely the residences could be lived in and what might need to be done to remedy any issues. They arrived promptly, were very thorough and explained what they found in detail. They found lots of issues I hadn't found and were able to confirm that two of the residences just needed a thorough cleaning, while the third residence has major mold and moisture issues. They took photos and notes of everything they did and gave me a complete report with all of the information they discussed with me. It even included recommendations for replacement ventilation fans for the bathrooms to help prevent future moisture and mold issues. In short, they were great. I highly recommend them.

When I called to schedule an appointment for an estimate I was informed there was $150 charge just for the estimate! I asked if the charge was at least rolled into the final quote if I selected them, but they said no, the fee was charged on top of any actual services provided. I thought this was crazy, why would I pay for an estimate for a non-trivial job (final project was around $2000)? They tried to make themselves sound noble by saying other providers raise their estimates to cover the cost of sending out a technician for an estimate. Well duh. A business has to recoup their expenses, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pay to have someone come out when I have no guarantee that their quote is even competitive. When I asked them why I should take that risk, they just said that they have always been competitive. I found their whole attitude snotty and didn't bother scheduling an estimate and eventually selected a different vendor who did a great job.

I smelled some bad oder in our laundry room. Then I found Environix information on Angie. Its rating is pretty good. So I called and got an inspection very quick. Jeffery came to our house on 8/21. He was friendly and very profession. Not only doing inspection, he also telled me how to clean the smell and carpet. The best thing was there's no mod in my landry room. Very happy to work with them.

It was an excellent experience! The receptionists were always easy to reach and were extremely helpful. Tim returned a call promptly on a Sunday to answer a question. Scheduling was great. Workers were prompt and professional. All the work was very well done. One worker even returned to tape up some plastic overhang on the floor and put the vent slat at the top because my kitten kept getting in! (There were no doors to keep her out!) The whole job went smoothly and couldn't have been better. I highly recommend Environix!!!

He was very professional and thorough. He explained everything to me well.

They showed up on time and were full of information on the current status of mold in the house and also how to prevent it in the future. Full report followed the next day.

They professional, know their business, effective and timely.
