Kelly came out to do an assessment for mold issues at the property I am renting that have been…read moreongoing 10 months. Kelly is not licensed as a mold inspector and has some very odd ways of conducting an assessment. First off, just a visual inspection (when there were positive tests for stachybotrus in a wall cavity and recent air quality tests with continued levels of stachybotrus). My walls are all freshly painted, so what good is a visual inspection? She refused to do any air quality, tape test or swab testing to analyze, even though I showed her photos of black toxic mold on drywall and framing. Apparently she has x-ray vision that's better than actual lab testing lol. Then in the crawlspace which was "remediated" for mold by a non-IICRC firm which VA Law HB 1270 mandates mold remediation after 7/1/24 must be a certified firm, she wants to patch up what this invalid firm did and only recommends partial work? How does that work? Put a bandaid on it, literally. Yes, she actually recommends just patching holes in the barrier, among other things not to IICRC S520 standards. There's a serious standing water issue and she actually thinks it's something that can be dried out... huh? Until the next rainstorm saturates the crawlspace. The crawlspace is not graded properly (pockets where water collects) and water comes through concrete block from neighboring townhouse every rain. Absolutely absurd. Since her specialty is lead and asbestos, she should've recommended someone at Commonwealth with actual mold and experience (and familiar with the new law around remediation standards) perform the assessment (she didn't even know about HB 1270 when I mentioned it). She's got a very combative personality and was clearly hired to rubber stamp this as the owners are upset they spent so much money over 8-9 months trying to fix the issues (they should've hired a certified firm and could've avoided this). Now they want to take shortcuts again and this IH is okay with that, even though every other expert that's come out recommended starting from scratch, full encapsulation and waterproofing so the job is done right. Extremely disappointed especially since the owner Fred called me personally to discuss my concerns but I guess it was just lip service to appease me when he said he would make it right.

I have to send a big thank you to RVA for helping out a dear friend of mine.

We used Green Home Solutions to encapsulate our crawl space. Tim came out and assessed our…read moresituation and recommended not fully encapsulating because of our furnace. Instead they installed a controlled ventilation system and put down a vapor barrier. Their team did a great job and our crawlspace no longer smells musty and the temperature/humidity is very comfortable in there. Their pricing was very fair (cheaper than other estimates we received) and Tim was great about explaining everything and giving us an honest opinion. We've continued to use them for some air quality issues we are having elsewhere in our house and Tim has been extremely generous with his time. I can't recommend them enough.

His price was more than reasonable and I absolutely recommend this company for identifying and testing for different kinds of mold.

For six months Joists kept breaking even though they said only a few needed replacing in the beginning. mold keep getting on the wallama in the house . . Time and again they kept spraying for mold . No one could give me a reasonable answer as to why the crawl space encapsulation wasn't working and mold kept growing . About the time we were going to sign the fourth contract to have work done , a family member had to step in for us . I was having headaches that were 24 hours a day . Vertigo so bad I had to stop driving . My husband was becoming confused and could not concentrate . The relative was standing on the crawl space encapsulation membrane because the floors and under flooring had been removed when a sun ray shone on his boot . He and two JES employees got on there needs and followed the beam of light . It lead to the door of the encapsulation .It was inches too short . Moisture was getting in as well as mice . This meant the dehumidifier was working hard to keep up with the moisture that was getting under the house . Mold was everywhere. The joists they were sistering to had mold all on them . We discovered the three contracts we already had were not consistent in pricing . Each contract was higher prices . Our relative had them gut all the work they had been doing out because it was ALL done wrong . They finally did the work correctly. Then I discovered they had dropped the second building permit and never had their work inspectEd through the county . I had to email the county and request one . I would NEVER recommend this company .
