Jeff Parsons of Environix came to my home on 10/6/15 to perform an air quality assessment. He was friendly and extremely informative while performing the assessment. In addition to taking air samples for lab analysis, he walked through my home answering all my questions and providing actions needed to improve my home air quality. He provided very useful information about reducing mold and mildew in my basement area, as well as in answers to a number of related questions I had about my home. He was very prompt providing a written assessment of my home along along with lab results from the air sample. In addition he provided excellent recommendations for bathroom ceiling fan replacements to reduce the relative humidity in my home and consequently reduce mold spore levels. I would highly recommend Environix and Jeff, in particular, for home mold inspection/remediation and air quality evaluation.

I had a great experience with them. Their fee was very fair and competitive. I also felt that they were courteous, punctual and very knowledgeable in diagnosing a mold issue I was having in my home. The inspection took approximately an hour and by the time they were done they have given me an in depth assessment and very workable solutions to fix the problem. I had a full 10 page inspection report e-mailed to me within 24 hours of the appointment. They gave me piece of mind and ways to having further mold issues in the future.

I recently had an mold inspection that I felt was insufficient and overpriced. After checking Angie's list for a "top rated " company I called Environix Testing and Remediation and was directed to Kathy M. , the office manager. I explained what had happened and wanted to know how her company inspection compared. She was just the person I needed. Kathy was exceptionally knowledgeable and very easy to talk with. She took a lot of time to make sure I received all the information I needed. Kathy felt there was a good chance that I could solve the problem without their intervention and told me extactly how to go about it. And in addition, she sent a email message to me, with a summary of what she recommended, which included the names and models of bathroom fans and a website where I would get them at a good price. Then, she suggested that if the problem continued I should contact the company again and they would do an inspection at half the cost I paid for the previous inspection. Indeed I will. Obviously, customer service is a top priority with Environix Testing and Remediation. Way to go Kathy!!!!

Neighbors advised previous owners had performed an extensive interior remodel. I wanted to confirm lead abatement had been performed. I called Environix to make an appointed. They advised of prices associated with this type of testing. Jeff was punctual and performed the inspection and offered advice in how to proceed in areas with lead paint. I would definitely do business with Environix again

Would not use them if you want don't want your attic painted with white. When I asked tech if it was required, he said yes. Otherwise, "treatment was require sanding to remove mold." FALSE! Hired another company to treat mold in attic and within 24 hours wood in attic changed to nature color.

Response from Environix Testing & Remediation
We are very transparent about our remediation process. Our technique was clearly explained to the client during the phone call, on-site and in the estimate itself. We also clearly explain the process on our website. I am not sure how we could possibly make it more clear. The white encapsulant is used for a very specific purpose. 1st, it makes it very obvious if the mold growth returns. All of our projects come with a lifetime warranty. Yes, other companies offer warranties, but in the fine print they exclude any conditions that would cause mold growth in the first place. The encapsulant is beneficial for the client (not us) because it holds us accountable if any regrowth occurs. If you don't encapsulate the staining from the mold, it is impossible to distinguish future growth from residual staining. The companies that offer this approach use this to avoid paying for a warranty claim. With our approach, there is no debate whether new mold growth has occurred. If it comes back, it's fully on us. The client also complained about the fact that the white encapsulant will draw attention during a resale. In our 12 year history (which includes over 1,000 attic projects), not a single client has ever experienced this problem. If anything, home buyers feel much more comfortable, because they can tell the problem was handled professionally. I have no problem with a customer electing to hire a competitor. I also understand that bad reviews are part of operating a business. We make mistakes periodically, and if we do, then we deserve a poor review. However, leaving a poor review because a customer simply disagrees with our approach is not at all in line with the purpose of Angie's List ratings. This is akin to leaving a bad review at a Mexican restaurant because they didn't serve Italian food.

My renters moved out 3 months early due to mold in the house, I was not able to get rid of the mold no matter what I did including changing the windows, I hired Environix to figure out where the mold was coming from, they indicated in their report that it was from moisture in the air when windows are not opened regularlly and had quite a few pricey recommendations costing thousands of dollars, I decided not to proceed with that. The only helpful suggestion was installing a Panasonic Whispersoft Motion Detecting Fan in the bathroom. Few months later, I found out that the culprit was due to some dry rot in the back siding which I replaced soon after. I also replaced couple more windows where mold was detected. Environix was unable to figure out the real cause of the problem, whatever they recommended was not going to help, it was a waste of money for less than an hour of checking out a vacant house. I'd rather hire a building expert for a more thorough inspection.

All services were performed as agreed in a timely and workmanlike manner. The home sold easily and the fact that Environix provides a lifetime guarantee against regrowth of mold allayed any concerns about the issue for the buyers. The price was fair and comparable to the other company we had bid on the work.
Description of Work: We hired Environix to assess the nature and extent of mold growth in the attics of our 3500 sq ft home which was discovered in an inspection of the home as we prepared it for sale. A pair of inspectors was sent to us for inspection of the mold and identification of contributing conditions. The growth was not severe. It was described to us as rating a 2 or 3 on a scale of 10. Several factors were identified as the underlying causes of the growth of mold. We were responsible for fixing the identified problems prior to Environix treating the mold. It took us awhile to accomplish the needed repairs and the remediation work was scheduled promptly thereafter. Two technicians came and completed in one day the process of sealing the ceiling penetrations including 28 recessed lights, removing some plywood which was blocking air flow in 2 gable areas, sealing a major chase with rigid foam blocking to establish a continuous air and thermal barrier, spraying all wood surfaces in the attic with mold killer and then encapsulating all of those surfaces with sealer/primer.

It was smooth from the time I had emailed for an inquiry on their website. Kathryn or Kathy (the office manager) called me on a Saturday! Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. She asked why I had inquired about services so that she could get an understanding of what tests were needed. She then proceeded to tell me the tests available that would satisfy my concerns and she gave me the pricing as well. The specialist came out to do the tests and explained everything along the way. They gave us a detailed report. From start to finish, they were very efficient and friendly professionals!

They are a good company. There hasn't been a mold problem since. They guaranteed their work for a lifetime. They talked to my renter what was necessary to keep the air circulating. They recommend to install an automatic fan in the bathroom. They were very thorough and explained everything. I would certainly recommend them.

I was not impressed. We pulled up the carpet and took down the walls right to the joist before they even came. They gave us a list of what in the air. The machine was left on for three days as it was supposed to. Five days later I called them to see if they could turn the machine off. They didn't know who I was. A technician came back to clean up and turn it off. They called back to say the readings were and they wanted to redo the test. They left a mess. They wrapped up most of the furniture up but some were not covered which made the readings wrong. They were unprofessional and unreliable. They didn't show up on time. I would never recommend them.
