I recently hired AdvantaClean of the West Side to perform mold remediation. The workers were friendly and diligent. They did well with the basement. There some very tough areas and they took their time to get it cleaned up. It was when they began the dining room that left me dazed. Part of the remediation was to remove plaster from walls where mold may have been growing behind the plaster. Almost all exterior walls were identified on the first and second floors. Given the condition of the house, I agreed. I thought I was hearing just plaster breaking up, but when I inspected the work they had done, I told them to stop. Beneath the plaster was tile block, which they had broken up and exposed the exterior brick walls of the house. If I had allowed them to continue, I couldn't have afforded to have the house put back together and would have lost the plaster crown molding. They made it clear they weren't familiar with this kind of wall construction. After I insisted, it was agreed no more walls would be broken up without my approval. It was left at "It's your house..." In my opinion, the mold was superficial in most of the first and second floors and was removed by scraping off the paint and sanitizing. I was okay with baseboards being removed and sanitized. It's the fact they felt compelled to continue with wall demolition on unfamiliar construction, starting in an area that had the least chance of having mold behind the walls. The company would do well to stick with newer homes where they are familiar with the construction methods and instruct their workers if they get into something unfamiliar, to stop and have it evaluated before continuing. Very costly lesson on my part. Just a quick update and some pictures. I had a general contractor look at the damage and he simply couldn't believe it. He said this is the supporting structure of the wall and it will be very costly to repair. You may want to look for another company if you have an older home. read more

Drew and his team did a fantastic job getting rid of the extensive mold problem in my new home and making it a healthy environment to live in. It was a big job lasting nearly two weeks, and included major demolition in my basement, removing all the old carpets throughout the house, and cleaning all the duct work. Plus all the other scrubbing, sterilizing etc. I am so pleased with the result and highly recommend them to anyone with a concern about mold in their home. read more

Drew and his team did our encapsulation a few years ago and when I recently asked him about a smell we had in our crawl space, he came over the very next morning to inspect it. Our relationship with Drew and his team is tremendous and should you have a need, I would encourage anyone to contact them for their services. You will not be disappointed! read more

Paul and his team came to our home today to complete duct cleaning. They were on time and very respectful of our home. They moved what needed to be moved for their job to be done and then took care to put everything back. Unfortunately we had to leave while they were cleaning and had not returned when they were finished. They came back a few hours later with no questions asked to collect payment. We had a wonderful experience and will certainly be recommending this company to others! Thank you! read more

I am so thankful AdvantClean popped up in Home Advisor when I did a search to get mold cleaned in my basement. Drew and Tristan came out and did a phenomenal job. My basement is now spotless, from mold (kids happen), and it doesn't smell anymore. And to top it off, they were super nice and friendly guys. If anyone needs mold cleaned up, I highly recommend them. read more

Drew and Tristan came today and tackled the black mold in our attic. They were consummate professionals who were on-time, clean, and met all of our expectations. Their price was reasonable and lower than competitors. I highly recommend them. read more

I contacted AdvantaClean of the West Side at 3:00 pm on a Sunday afternoon to respond to a flooded second floor bathroom. At that time we water water running down the walls and suspended ceiling into the first floor. Drew and his support were there by 5:00 pm and immediately started cleaning up the mess. He worked faithfully to minimize the damage and ensure that our facility was dried to industry standards. I've been through this on more than one occasion and often it seems the clean-up crew does more damage than the water itself. Kudo's to Drew for making sure that we were all dried out quickly and professionally. I'd highly recommend AdvantaClean. read more
