After talking to him and telling him my situation he started testing all my rooms and said I would be getting a detailed report in the next couple of days. I got the report the next day.

I highly recommend that you contact Environmental if you're experiencing any environmental problems. Linda K

Wanted to get environmental testing done in addition to traditional home inspection prior to home…read morepurchase. Sam was very friendly on the phone and flexible with scheduling. On the day of the actual inspection I had buyer and seller agent waiting to make sure we could get it done at 8:00am. At 8:10 called Joe and he kept on saying traffic was bad, it did not sound like he was even in the car. At 8:38 he texted me saying he is up against his next job, traffic is bad and we need to go re-schedule as he is not sure when he will get in. He knew appt was at 8am, he knew there will be traffic coming into the city and made 3 people wait. Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. He came through a recommendation, definitely will report back. AVOID!

Incompetent and dishonest. Sent an inspector dealing with personal matters who rushed our…read moreinspection. Filled a tub and immediately drained it without checking the access point for leaks. Within a couple weeks of moving in we went to clean the tub. Filled it and began running the jets only to see the water level dropping about 1/2 inch over 10 minutes. The have deflected, blamed us, lied on other sites about offering help (they sent a list of plumbers they found on google), claimed it's a "non invasive inspection" when no invasive inspection was asked for the leak is clearly visible. They are the lowest quality of inspection you can find. It was haphazardly rushed so the inspector could leave to meet up with his wife in NY that afternoon and we are paying the price. I have tried to work with the dishonest Mr. Male. He refuses to take any responsibility or offer any reasonable remed. He is also refusing to provide license #s. That in itself should tell you what type of business they run. They collect your money, show up and look around like it's an open house showing and then when there are issues they will deny all responsibility. Had they done a thorough inspection we would not be in this position. hell, if Mr Male could find a plumber capable of doing the repair he thinks is needed we would not be in this position.

We started to smell musty odor coming from a wall where we had a water leak from our roof. After…read morethe roof repair we contacted Olivia and she conducted a test for mold. The test came back positive. After mold removal and remediation we had Olivia return for another test and it thankfully came back negative. Throughout the process Olivia was very professional and thorough. I highly recommend Olivia from Alpha Environmental Inspection. Don't wait if you smell mold as it could affect your health.

Alpha's owner Olivia Palazzi quickly scheduled us into her schedule on a saturday morning (I'm in…read moreMarblehead, she's based in Quincy). She arrived early, with a big smile, great attitude and happy to scratch my dog that ran out to greet her. She set up her equipment and took tests from multiple rooms which involved scrapings, photographs and some very interesting machines that suck in air onto a glass disk, to test the air quality of the room. Extremely organized, friendly, knowledgeable and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. From down in the basement to up a precariously balanced latter into the attic, she systematically walked/climbed the house and intelligently pointed out where sources of water would be hidden and where mold would not be far behind. Alpha refers to her two dogs, Zeus and Athena (but please correct me if I'm wrong). My wife and I have used many environmental inspection companies over the years because I have seasonal allergies. I wouldn't hesitate to hire AEI again and we wholeheartedly recommend that you do too. Five stars *****

As a first-time homebuyer, I freaked out when my home inspection flagged the attic and unfinished…read morebasement as worth a consultation with a mold professional (water discoloration in some areas, visible mold on two beams in the basement). Bob was a bit hard to get ahold of at first, but he's in demand and working jobs with his team. We scheduled a free consultation the day after my closing, and he was flexible in moving it up a week earlier when that option opened up. Bob arrived exactly on time and started with the attic. He was able to assure me that the water discoloration didn't look to stem from active leaks, and his services wouldn't be needed in that space. He did recommend adding better ventilation through the MassSave audit program. We then went to the basement where Bob reached a similar conclusion. For the two beams with visible mold, he said that the issue wasn't severe enough to warrant a professional's assistance, and that I could clean it myself. I really appreciated how Bob took the time to evaluate my new home even though the outcome was that I wouldn't be hiring him. The best part? As we were leaving through the finished basement, Bob noticed some suspect bubbling on a newly painted wall. He pulled out his moisture meter and was able to determine that many segments of the wall were at 100% saturation. It's likely that the recent heavy rain and removal of the dehumidifier while the house has been unoccupied resulted in this issue, which would have otherwise gone unnoticed until closing. Bob was able to recommend some initial moves that we could take (redirect gutters, run dehumidifier and fans in the space, etc) before ripping things apart. Depending on how that goes, I may have an opportunity to write a review for his services... but for now, greatly appreciate what he's done for me so far.

I needed a home inspection in a pinch (1 week turnaround) and in a new area that I haven't lived…read morebefore. Doing a web search, Metro was one of many home inspection companies that had a straight-forward website and online booking. However, what set Metro apart from the others is that they listed the available days and time slots that they had inspectors available. They even had the name of the most probable (subject to change) inspector to make the appointment. That was important because I knew when the home we were considering was available to be opened, and I could quickly line up a day/time that worked out for both sides. After the appointment was set, I was called by one of the staff. She called to "talk me out of" the radon and pest inspection services (extra charge) because of the type of home and area it was located, those services were not valuable. The cherry on top was that for the month, they were giving a "gold" discount on the overall cost. Inspection went as planned and I received the final report by the end of the same day. I never had to state that I needed a quick turnaround, but I get the sense they knew based on the dates of our real estate transaction. Just superb service, and really made me feel I could not get as good of a service with any of the other inspection companies I was considering. If we ever buy another property in the metro Boston area, I'm using Metro 100%!
