GOTTA LOVE some honest people. I don't know s***t about mold, I just had a health scare from my…read morelast place and upon moving into the new place, was heartbroken to see some mold-looking spots on the wall. despite not smelling much of anything, I decided to call around. gulp -- $600 for JUST THE TESTING. But Bloom Environmental offered a free estimate, and tho they could have convinced me we needed to take action and give them all my savings, they looked around and told me we had nothing to worry about, but to do wipe off the mold-looking spots and if it doesn't reappear, it ain't mold. [mind-blown, why-didn't-i-think-of-that emoji]. OH!! Also, while remaining diplomatic on our original phone call, he did show empathy about how slum lords be. convenience factor was great -- he texted me to accommodate my appointment-change request. and then dude showed up ON TIME. Yay.

An A+ to James and Allie Plessinger, and Bloom Environmental! They are awesome! Just before I was…read moreto start a basement waterproofing project with Company X, the Company X representative informed me that the vinyl tile and underlying mastic in an area of the basement of my house (built in 1945) likely contained asbestos, that the wood paneling in that area contained mold, that these would need to be remediated/removed before their waterproofing work could begin, and that I needed to hire another company to do the work. Thank goodness Company X recommended Bloom Environmental! Bloom Environmental Owner James Plessinger and Office Manager Allie were wonderful to work with. They returned my phone calls and emails quickly and efficiently, and explained in detail all the steps they would take, which greatly alleviated all my concerns. James collected and sent out tile and mastic samples for testing by an independent, accredited company (high marks for this!), which confirmed the asbestos problem. They scheduled the 5-day project as quickly as was possible with our schedules. I was amazed at how the actual remediation and removal project occurred. James paid very careful attention to the safety aspects, taking precautions by sectioning off that part of the basement, closing off HVAC ducts, and using blowers, HEPA filters, multiple plastic barriers and more, all of which enabled me to safely stay in the house during the work. The work itself was amazingly quiet! At the end of each day, James and his team hauled off lots of material for appropriate disposal and then James explained to me what they had accomplished during the day, any problems they encountered, and how the overall project was going. I really appreciated being informed about these aspects throughout the project. James and his team started at 9 am on a Monday, were on time every day, and finished at 3 pm on Friday, keeping to their original schedule and even finishing a little early. I am also amazed at the appearance of that area of the basement once the project was over. James and his workers did an outstanding job removing everything that needed to go, and making sure that the concrete floor and block walls were clean and dry. They did a terrific job of cleaning up after themselves, so there was no dust, no debris, etc. Outstanding! And the cost of the project was incredibly reasonable considering everything that had to be done. Bloom Environmental is outstanding! If I had another project requiring asbestos/mold removal, I would definitely hire them again. Bloom Environmental has my highest recommendation!

I've emailed and called multiple times, but I've only received radio-silence from his end. On 8/10, I emailed my initial request(s). I decided to call 8/23/18 when I didn't hear anything back. He did answer his call (!) but he wanted to review my email/look over my inspection of my home. On 8/24/18 I emailed him a copy of the inspection- to which he again didn't reply... So, as a final attempt, I called 9/10 to follow up about my emails, and he said he has been too busy to answer calls and emails (due to a storm that happened over that weekend- 9/7-9/10... which it is understandable that he was busy due to flooding in homes from the weather, however I had been trying to contact for 3 weeks...) Any way, during that phone conversation he requested that I AGAIN forward him the inspection via email (which I did that same day), and he assured me he would return my call by lunch time 9/11/18. Guess what- no call or email! This operation doesn't seem very professional, or reliable... Can't speak on the actual work that they do, as I never got to experience that aspect of this business. Update: 2 days after posting this review, I received the email response I had been waiting for. I'm not sure if my review was viewed prior to the response or not- but the email said "I reviewed your inspection and our current schedule of job. We are not interested in bidding you crawl repairs at this time." & they suggested other possible businesses. I appreciate the response at least- but overall, still very disappointed with the experience as a whole. 2 other businesses I contacted earlier in the week responded immediately and I've got in person consultations scheduled.. Stinks I waited a month just for this response, but at least its now moving forward with someone.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is having a mold issue.
