I had some suspicious-looking tape on my furnace's ductwork that I had been told might be asbestos…read moretape. Although it was mostly intact, there were a few places where it had gotten torn and had some pieces hanging down. I contacted Lyle Environmental after reading good reviews about them online. They gave me thorough instructions on how to safely collect a sample of the tape so they could test it to determine if it was indeed asbestos tape. After I dropped off the sample they tested it and got back to me very quickly with the results: unfortunately, it was definitely asbestos tape. They described my options: removal, encapsulation, or doing nothing, and told me they could send someone to look at the ductwork and prepare a bid if I decided on either of the first two options. After I contacted Lyle and told them I'd like to have them deal with the tape, a representative came to my home and looked over the ductwork. He recommended removal of the tape where it was torn and encapsulation with a product called LagKloth where the tape was still intact. Lyle's bid for doing this work seemed quite reasonable so I made an appointment for the work to be done. The crew showed up on time the morning of the appointment, got straight to work, and completed the job within a few hours. My experience with Lyle was overwhelmingly positive. Every person I dealt with, from the office manager who took my initial call, to the person who looked at the ducts and prepared the bid, to the crew who did the asbestos remediation, was courteous, professional and conscientious. They answered all my questions and did the job for a reasonable price. They completed the lab work and got me on their schedule quickly. Moreover, several months after the work was completed, I noticed the LagKloth had become detached from the ducts in some areas. These areas are made of wood and had been painted years ago with what is most likely a lead-based paint, which Lyle thought is probably why the LagKloth had loosened from them. Lyle sent a technician out who fixed the problem at no extra cost. Lyle Environmental does good work and stands behind it--I highly recommend them!

My recent experience with the group started off on a decent path and ended very disappointing…read more Their response to customers is great when setting up appointments, but the person who provided us with a quote came back saying that they made a mistake and asked for double. This was not right as they're responsible for discovery prior to providing a quote. Luckily they honored the original price and we were happy to move forward. Instead of sending 2 inspectors, as promised for the multi-family, they sent 1. Likely because they made a mistake on pricing and didn't want to lose money on paying for two which would've made the job more efficient and they would've completed inspection correctly. Karl arrived on time, was kind and shared what his plan was to complete our inspection thoroughly as there were multiple units and only 1 person. He assured he'd get it done and allowed us to follow along. I'm appreciative of the knowledge he shared and therefore, we didn't bat an eye when he mentioned he was closing on his personal home and took a call. The call lead to calls and it began to delay our inspection. The quality of work began to drop as time was running out. He said if 1 unit looks good in the attic and crawl space, they would look the same for all. Therefore, he didn't want to look inside of every single one. This was very frustrating to us because this is a large purchase for us and many others that are looking to buy their first home. Having a thorough inspection could make or break the decision on moving forward or with other expenses. My partner had to physically check himself since Karl didn't want to inspect it himself. He found water in 2 of the 4 units.. Leaking pipes and a hole in the main water sewer line. This goes to show the lack of quality and professionalism when a customer requests what their concerns are. The total damage for the fixes totaled to $9,000!!! (more updates to come) If your inspector doesn't happily check your concerns - red flag, please check it out yourself so they can notate it on the report. He also ran out of time and could not complete the sewer scope. We spoke to the manager post inspection to share our concerns about un-checked spaces and scoping that we scheduled and planned to pay for our services. Instead, she ignored us and said that they are not going back to the property as the they felt the inspection was completed in their eyes. There are always 3 sides to a story - their side, our side and the truth. We paid for our report and went about our way. We will not be bringing our business back here nor will recommend. Anyone who uses this company should be wary of their services and SHOULD follow along with their inspector to catch any major issues. Buyers, carry out your due diligence to avoid dishonest businesses and make a sound decision for one of the largest purchases of your life.

For instance our kitchen sink garbage disposal leaks and there was a bowl under the pipe catching the water, which wasn't mentioned. The shower is a walk-in tiled shower and the water collects in one of the corners and doesn't drain because it isn't level...so you have to push a large amount of water every time you use it to the drain. This wasn't reported and I honestly wouldn't have bought the house if I knew this. We also paid for a pool inspection, which was a joke. They couldn't tell me if the pool heater worked (it doesn't) but they stated obvious things like the concrete is slanted so that's a tripping hazard (obviously). I had high hopes based on their google reviews but I wouldn't recommend

First of all, we were on a very tight schedule and needed to get our inspection done quickly. The inspector, Josh, came in on a Sunday afternoon and did a very thorough inspection. He talked to me throughout so I always knew what he was doing and why he was doing it. He also gave me a lot of recommendations for things to make our condo more user-friendly. He answered all of my questions and explained things to me in a way that I could understand with my very limited knowledge of all things related to the construction and inner-workings of a home. We had blocked out a time for roughly four hours but because our condo was pretty small, it didn't take Josh that long. In light of this, Josh readjusted the price so I ended up paying less than I expected. He also explained other available services but was very upfront with me about them not being necessary for my particular unit in an effort to save me money and not waste any of my time. I really appreciate that this is a company who is honest and fair and not out to take advantage of people like me who are clueless when it comes to this field. Finally, Josh was super diligent in getting home and getting our report written up and submitted so that we were able to make our closing on time. Everything easy to read and the report included very clear pictures that helped us know what steps we needed to take. If we move down the road, I'll definitely call By-Lions for the Home Inspection and will be recommending them to anyone I know who is buying a house. You couldn't ask for a better company to work with!

This last inspection on a different house found issues as well but they are being resolved. I can't recommend Rob enough. He explains EVERYTHING and does not mind you tagging along (not roofs and I don't do crawl spaces) but he takes pictures. Both times I have received my reports the same day. And they have both been about 65 pages. Rob is also super friendly and outgoing. If you want an inspector to put you at ease hire Key.
