We had a fantastic experience with Adviro. We are about to renovate our bathroom and we were required to test for asbestos and lead before we start due to the age of our home. The Adviro team was incredibly responsive (shout out to Emily!) and fit our inspection in the very next day. We got our results less than 24 hours after the inspection! The report was thorough and well organized, and their price was more affordable compared to two other companies I looked at. The office also responded immediately when I had a question on our report. What a great experience. Thank you team! read more

I needed a J# permit to demo a remodel/addition project in Santa Clara for hazardous materials. Frank gave me a call to make an appointment and was able to work around my work schedule to get me in same day. The engineers were prompt and very polite. They helped answer all my rookie questions. Expecting the report by tomorrow so we can proceed with our project. Thank you and highly recommend Adviro services! read more

Because our new house was built in the 70s, we were really concerned whether there was any asbestos products in our new home. Adviro's team came out in the same day and did a whole-house survey, sampling a popcorn ceiling, some garage materials, ductwork components, drywall, and a fireplace. The report was easy to read and found Chrysotile tape around some of our ductwork, which was very helpful to know. Would definitely recommend them again. read more

We're victims of CZU fire in Bonny Doon. Called company and got an estimate, but when I did some research and called back to ask for certification re smoke damage assessment, the man answering became defensive and when I asked why, he said "I don't want to have this conversation, and accused me, "you obviously have an agenda". My only agenda was trying to find out how their company compares to others in the same field. After seeing my review Frank called and we were able to have a reasonable conversation. I came to believe this company cares a lot about providing high quality service to it's customers. Given MY need to have independent certification, he appropriately advised me to go with another company. read more

While getting quotes to re-insulate our attic, one of the contractors mentioned that we almost certainly have asbestos surrounding our HVAC ductwork. We had no idea. After several hours of googling the crap out of asbestos and asbestos abatement, we decided the next step was to hire a company to determine 1) if the material was, in fact, asbestos; and 2) if the asbestos had deteriorated to the point that it was in our home and affecting our air quality. Adviro responded to our request for a quote right away. On the phone with Frank, he confirmed that we had a good sense of what the process would be and that they could help us all the way up to recommending abatement companies if we decided to go that route. Gary came the next day and answered a bunch more of our questions before getting to work. He set up the air quality test pump in our hallway and then took ten dust samples from all around our house. The air test takes about two hours, so he left and then came back (exactly when he said he would). Then he went up into the attic to examine the ductwork, take pictures, and take a sample of the material. Our tests came back positive for asbestos material, but zero (woohoo!) asbestos found in our air. Given this result, we have opted to leave the asbestos in place and never ever touch it. So we didn't need the abatement recommendations from Adviro. But if we ever have doubts about our safety, we will be calling Adviro right away. Frank and his team provide great peace of mind, very quickly and in a super professional manner. Highly recommended. read more

I needed a thorough assessment of asbestos and lead in a 74 year old house. I have two young kids so I needed to know the risks with the house especially since I was remodeling parts of the house. Advisor had a really good package of services that would collect plenty of samples for one straightforward fee. Other places have al la cart options to save you some money if you know exactly what you wanted tested. I like the packaged deal to do a comprehensive sweep. Eddy and Gary were the two technicians who inspected my property. They were super professional and knowledgeable about the process and suspected materials for sampling. The written report was provided the very next day, and was very thorough. Overall they met my needs so I'm quite satisfied with the speed and quality of service. read more

We recently got asbestos tested with Adviro after contractor found suspicious material at the AC insulation. I went and got quote from several companies, and decided to move forward with Adviro for various reasons: 1. Frank is very responsive as mentioned by others. He responses fast to emails, text messages and phone calls. 2. Price wise Adviro seems not to be the cheapest, but if you want to do a full house examination like me, their price is actually pretty good, considering the amount of samples they took. Need to be aware that other companies would charge per sample per layer, meaning if a company charges $20 per sample, a kitchen floor sample with 4 layers will cost $20 * 4. With Adviro I don't worry about how many layers exactly are there in the kitchen floor. 3. They are compliant with various industrial standards, looks very professional. 4. The report was ready fast. I received the report in two days after the appointment. The whole process for my house took about an hour. Frank was quite patient when I kept asking questions while he was working. He tried to minimize the impact of the sampling on the house. I would recommend Adviro to others. read more

We used Adviro's services last month and are very happy with them. We were going to move into our newly bought townhouse and wanted to have some asbestos testing done first. From the moment I booked the appointment to the test results, the process was easy and fast. Frank came to take swabs of the vents and wrapping around water tank and was very knowledgeable, kind and professional. The test results arrived 1 or 2 days later with full report via email. Should I need testing done in the future again, I would definitely use them, I really recommend them to others too. read more

I had a good experience working with Adviro. I called the front desk to get a quote for asbestos/lead testing and they clearly explained the price for each test and how/where it would be tested. I chose to only do asbestos testing for some popcorn ceiling in a home prior to doing renovation work. Kim was the sampling technician sent to the property. She arrived on time and described the process: she would do a brief walkthrough of the home, sketch out a rough layout, and take samples from 3 different rooms. The appointment was quick, no more than 30 mins. When she was done, she also helped explain the how the testing would work and what it means if my samples tested above or below a certain percentage of asbestos. Her explanation was clear and she was very open to answering any questions I had. Payment was due after the appointment and I received the report 24 hours later. Pricing was fair too, they weren't the cheapest but not the most expensive either. read more

We were so grateful to have the friendly and professional service that Adviro provided. They were very thorough and listened carefully to our situation. We were able to get total peace of mind that our house is safe from asbestos using their testing. Thank you Adviro! read more

An update: we had mold test performed by Adviro. Technician came right on time, was very knowledgeable and quick. We were told result would be available by the end of the day and it was. Communication with main office was very efficient. Thank you again for all your help. Very highly recommended business. read more

Easy to make an appointment. The technician spent ~30 minutes explaining the details and answering my questions through the phone. She also adjusted the plan on site due to my specific need. Overall their staffs are professional, flexible, and not pushy for extra service. I will be happy to work with them again. read more

Adviro team was very quick to schedule a visit and send the air quality report the same day. Definitely recommend their service!

I contacted them about indoor air quality testing as we just completed the renovation. Instead of getting the business directly, Frank told me to hold it for one month as the paint/material would skew the result anyway. He also recommended increasing circulation and told me how to do so. Highly recommended! read more

I reached out to Adviro after a recommendation from the estimator at our company. I had called another company we had used previously but got an uneasy feeling about the representative as they were very pushy about setting up the inspection, contacting me multiple times, and because their pricing ($800) was almost twice Adviro and other local companies for the exact same deliverable. My experience with Adviro was great. From the initial phone call to the inspection and follow-through, everyone was professional, genuine, and very easy to work with. They were especially accommodating and understanding of my situation dealing with severe lung issues that now prompted a home inspection to see if there was an environmental issue contributing to my illness. In addition to a complete home inspection for mold, the sampler tech took a sample from inside a wall in my master bedroom where a moisture breach had occurred years ago, and although dry to touch, moisture meter readings and air samples from inside the wall showed it was likely the area of my home that had mold. A second tech came out the following day to test the master bedroom air specifically and to see how the room readings compared to the rest of the home where had test results showed no issues. I am grateful for the extra effort Kim took to help me isolate the problem. Again, from the office staff to the techs and individual providing the report, Adviro was great. read more

Make sure to ask for Edwards. He is very professional and knowledgeable, straight to the point. The test was done in around two hours, very comprehensive. Got the results and courtesy call from Edward the next day. Highly recommended this company! read more

Eddie came to my house right on time and did a super awesome job. He was really friendly and patient and explained tons of things to me throughout the appointment to make sure all my concerns were addressed. I am really impressed, and would recommend Adviro to anyone considering a test. read more

Adviro came to do a lead and asbestos test at a new home we purchased. Their team was professional and always available to answer questions after we got our report. I would recommend this company for your home testing environmental needs and peace of mind. read more

Highly recommend Adviro. From the moment I reached out, they were super responsive, reasonably priced and very organized. I called in a time crunch for asbestos testing, and they were able to squeeze me in. They were very professional about entire process and Frank took the time to explain the process to me. They even called to tell me when he was on his way. All samples were taken and report was delivered within the week (and this was over the holidays). I had some follow up questions and again Frank took the time to explain it to me. Excellent customer service and wouldn't hesitate to choose them! read more

My builder recommended Adviro as he has had good experiences with the company before. We needed a full house Abestos testing and report completed for a demolition. Frank was awesome. He was very responsive and I was able to make an appointment quickly. He was even able to get me the report in two days. I would definitely use him for environmental consulting and testing again. read more

Bought a new house and wanted to do a mold, asbestos, and lead test because my wife and I wanted to get an idea of the environment for our 5-month little one. Asked for a quote to 4 nearby top-rated environmental consulting/testing businesses, got the first response from Emily, the office admin with Adviro in 3 min. I called back and told Emily that there were remodeling works on going and Emily recommended to do asbestos and lead after everything was done since the remodeling could affect the environment which I thought was sensible and agreed. Emily helped to schedule a test the same day then here came Kim and Gary the Sampling Technicians, they arrived on time and briefly introduced themselves and explained how they were to conduct the work. They did two samples indoor and one comparison sample outside. They finished all jobs in 45 min. I got the bill later in email and paid online. The lab results came out and was sent to me in email in less than 4 hours after the sampling was taken. I got detailed data in report and a brief summary from Kim in email. Everything went nicely and smoothly and in a timely manner. I also like the way they communicate. I'll definitely continue on the asbestos and lead test with them after the remodeling was done. Highly recommend to anybody who wants to do the same test. read more

I approached Adviro for asbestos test and I'm very satisfied with their service. Frank was very nice and offered me a reasonable price. He sent a guy to my house for sample collection the same day that I called him, and then gave me the results next day! I'm very impressed. After I hired a asbestos abatement company to remove asbestos, I contacted Frank again to perform clearance test. Again, I was able to get the results the next business day. It showed that my house is clean now. I cannot wait to move in. I would highly recommend Adviro to anyone that needs to do environmental test. read more

The team at Adviro was very professional, patient, thorough and responsive! Edward clearly explained their testing methods and spent time patiently answering numerous questions about the reports and also provided perspective and reassurances that helped me manage my anxiety during this process. I have a lot of confidence in this company and their results, which gave me peace of mind finally. I would highly recommend them if you have concerns about potential contaminants in your household environment! read more

I got the number for Adviro from Yelp, after calling different people for asbestos survey I'm happy I decided to go with this company. Frank was very quick to respond, he gave an appointment within two days. Very professional to do the full asbestos survey for our house in Saratoga. He gave us the report in less than 2 days and was quick to respond on phone and text. I would definitely recommend Frank and Adviro, to folks who need to get asbestos survey. read more

I had some concerns about the possibility of toxic mold in my place; so I called Adviro owner Frank to discuss testing options. Very much a stand up guy ! Good business ethics. He was very knowledgable in his field; thoroughly explaining the process and cost to me. Showed up on time and did what he said he was going to do. No toxic mold was found ; however I do have piece of mind now, thanks Frank read more

Read the reviews on this company when I needed to find an asbestos testing company. I hired them to test the flooring in my house and so happy I did. My call was returned promptly and Frank was able to test my house two days later. Courteous, prompt and professional! I felt their testing price was very reasonable. Highly recommend this business to others. read more

I was concerned about asbestos within my home. I called a few companies and adviro was by far the best. I was able to talk to Eddie and he listened to all my concerns. Based on my concerns he explained the different type of asbestos testing they do from air quality, surface testing etc and really helped me understand what each of those tests do and the value they provide. He didn't try and push or force me to do anything and I really appreciated it. After we settled on the type of testing that I wanted to be done they sent me a detailed quote with a price by price breakdown of what each component costs and what total fixed cost would be. This was great as some other places say one thing but then charge another. Once I agreed Eddie was able to come the same day and perform the testing. I naturally had a lot of questions and Eddie was able to answer all my questions which was great. I was able to get a detailed report the next day which was great! read more

Great service provided. Had air quality testing and post abatement clearance done for my home. Experienced, knowledgeable and professional.

My husband and I recently bought a house and wanted to get asbestos testing done before doing some work on it. When I called them initially for information, the woman who answered the phone was very friendly and helpful and provided a lot of great information. I looked into one other company as well, but Adviro was more affordable. When we booked Adviro for a full home inspection, we were in a bit of a time crunch and they were able to squeeze us in on short notice. They were on time, explained the whole process to us, and were very thorough as far as the areas they sampled/tested. I felt very informed after talking to Frank as he patiently answered all of my questions. I also appreciated that with the full home inspection, they will come out again if there are any suspect materials found down the road that were not initially tested. This shows they will be very thorough and that they stand behind their work. The results came quickly and the report was easy to interpret. It gave me extreme peace of mind to know the whole house was checked and we could confidently and safely move forward with our renovations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adviro to anyone looking to do work on their home. read more

We had just moved into our house, and one of the contractors noted that there might be asbestos in the air ducts in the attic. I had no idea where to even begin to look for someone who could test for asbestos! Our real estate agent recommended Adviro, and specifically, Frank Valerga. I contacted Frank right away, and he was able to come out the next day. He is very professional, and the full report was generated the next business day. Thankfully the report came back negative. So glad Adviro and Frank were there to provide us with these findings. Thank you Frank and Adviro! read more

Note: I did not hire them directly. Their work at my house was done through my insurance claim - they were a subcontractor of another subcontractor, SupraClean (as I believe they are the ones who contracted with Adviro). The "prime contractor" (if you will) was Code Blue 360, Springfield, Ohio. My insurance co. is Connect (formerly known as Ameriprise Home Insurance). Well, while 80 of the other subcontractors/ entities I had to deal with on this claim (water heater tank leaked/water damage/asbestos/etc.), Adviro and their hygienists (testing for asbestos & follow-up work) were professional, timely, they contacted me to inform me and confirm dates/times, and I was treated with RESPECT. They did not get defensive (a la restoration specialists) when I said I expected more notice, and they took time to explain things to me. Their workers did not come in & play loud music, leave garbage and performed POORLY (a la restoration specialists - no need to capitalize for a co. whose OWNER & its workers lie, don't communicate and/or FAIL to respond to inquiries). So, I would recommend Adviro, for their work, professionalism, courtesy, and respect to their clients!! read more

I can't recall how we found Frank, but we're grateful we did. Every encounter with Frank, on the phone and in person, from the beginning to the end of service, was outstanding. His timely call backs, one time arrivals and 24-hour lab result service made exchanges prompt and predictable. In addition to his professionalism, Frank is a kind, courteous person of deep integrity. And it's so clear that he truly values what he does and how it's of service to others. We would hire him again and again and again, and refer him to all who need testing with zero reservations. read more
