11:50 AM Over my 20+…read moreyears in claims, first as a Public Adjuster--and before that as an insurance adjuster- and aslo as an insurance Appraiser and court appointed Umpire on disputed claims--I've worked claims all over the USA and two foreign countries. I have met numerous industrial hygienists on sewage, pollutant, trauma/bodily fluid, smoke and fire damage claims. Too many hygienists talk a good game but fail to deliver when it counts. Sol Environmental is better. Sol was recommended to me by a senior entertainment attorney overseeing a large legal team, and that endorsement proved accurate. When I first met with Raul and Nick at Sol Environmental, I immediately recognized their technical depth and concern for the clients. They discussed testing protocols for contaminants that most hygienists overlook or simply don't understand--particularly the volatile organic compounds and particulate matter that pose serious health risks in post-fire environments. When other hygients test for lead and asbestos, Sol is testing for everything: mercuty, silica, arsenic, dioxins, cadmium, barium lithium, you name it in addition to the lead and asbestos. What sets Sol apart is their background as specialty remediation contractors. They don't just identify contamination--they understand the actual remediation process, which makes their protocols far more comprehensive and defensible than what I typically see from competitors. Their protocols meet the standard of care, which is rare in this field. Sometimes I just need good sampling and lab results. But if i need a defensible step by step protocol, Sol is great. More importantly, they're willing to stand their ground when insurance carriers bring in questionable experts pushing junk science to minimize scope and deny proper remediation. Sol backs up their findings with solid scientific evidence and proper testing methodology. In claims where bad faith is already an issue, having a hygienist who won't fold under pressure is invaluable. I've referred Sol Environmental to multiple clients, and they've consistently helped secure the proper remediation my clients deserve. They do difficult work in contentious situations, and they do it well. I recommend them without reservation. Leland Coontz, Public Adjuster license #2B53445 (714) 724 1767

We had a mold issue in our primary bedroom. Ricky gave a thorough quote and helped to feel…read moreconfident that the remediation scope would fully address the issue. His team set up a solid containment, performed the work to scope, and passed clearance testing with a third party company. They also offered to leave their containment up (including some temp poles) for the duration of my build-back project. The team was careful of my house during the demo which involved carrying large, heavy pieces of shower glass down some stairs and through some turns. The only downside I found during the process was the need to pay for the site visit for the quote. This payment is credited to the bill and it wound up being a non-issue due to selecting BH environmental for the job, but none of the other companies I had out requested payment for the quoting visit.

UPDATE: I appreciate your pride and accountability in your business. We just had very little…read moreconfidence that your bid - the only one for which we paid - was reliable. None of this process was communicated clearly to us. I appreciate the owner's effort to make it right with a refund of the fee. I wouldn't even recommend requesting an estimate from these people. I wish I hadn't. The star is because someone technically came out. They were the only ones who charged a fee to come out, and their inspector spent a total of maybe 50 seconds in the bathroom that had water damage. The person who came out told us would have an estimate within a day, and no estimate. Unlike the other companies that came out, he made no inquiry about the age of the house or mention of required asbestos testing. Overall, his visit did not inspire confidence that any estimate we did get (if we got one) would be valid or accurate (not require change orders). Maybe the reason why some reviewers say they're cheaper is that they cut corners? (We wouldn't know as we never got our estimate.) We were really dissatisfied even with our (extremely brief) visual inspection experience. Communication with respect to the process was not good (as we don't know what's going on). Clearly my short list selection process failed me here. ETA: Apparently they were waiting on payment for the estimate (no one made clear what this process was), which we finally got, and indeed did not include asbestos testing.

This is the second time I've used JLM and I'd still recommend them. I'll list the pros and cons of…read moremy experience. Positives: Friendly customer service. Good communication and quick scheduling. I was able to have a technician come out the same day I called to schedule. The technician was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions while he was concentrating on the testing, set up etc. He was careful with his words meaning he didn't cause any unnecessary stress or anxiety. He wasn't pushy and was conscious of the cost while also recommending what samples are needed or suggested. He was clean and careful. Cons: Expensive compared to other mold testing companies. The invoice can quickly add up. I originally planned for about $800 ($500 base fee plus $75 for 4 samples). I added on asbestos test and that brought my bill to over $1300. In some ways I see this as a positive though because you get what you pay for (I hope and can't compare to any other company). My whole house wasn't moisture mapped as I was told it would be. The tech said they only focus on the reported areas of concern. Not a big deal but would've been nice to know. I kept getting rescheduled by 15 minutes. The tech was running late then running early so that was a little confusing. I jokingly asked them if I get compensation for the changed appt time since I signed the contract already (they charge $150 for any changes). They said no. The report is a bit confusing as it was the first time. The most annoying is that in the asbestos report they suggested further testing. Likely costing another $1000 or more. I thought I was already paying for the best testing. This feels a bit like a trick in some ways. Overall I'd go to JLM again. I suggest to do some research beforehand though to know exactly what you need done (AND WHY meaning are you renovating or just wanting to know for health reasons etc) so you don't get unneeded tests or costs.

I have learned so much more about mold this week than I ever wanted to…read more I called a few places and Property Health was the best price and the fastest availability for an air quality test. Frank was very responsive to all of my questions, and gave very thorough replies. He welcomed more questions and was available via phone, email, and text.

There are truly not enough good things to say about Frank and his team at PropertyHealth, but I'll…read moredo my best to capture our experience. To start, Frank is one of the most considerate, kind, and genuinely knowledgeable people I've come across in any business setting. From day one, it was clear that he cared--not just about doing the job, but about helping us navigate a stressful situation and meet tight deadlines. He went out of his way to accommodate our timeline when he really didn't have to, which speaks volumes about his character. His communication is on another level. He responds to calls and texts almost immediately, keeps you constantly informed, and makes sure you never feel in the dark about what's happening. That level of responsiveness and transparency is rare, and it made a huge difference for us. Beyond that, his entire team operates with the same level of professionalism and attention to detail. They were punctual, respectful of our home, and clearly take pride in the quality of their work. Everything was handled efficiently, cleanly, and with care. What stood out most is that Frank treats you like more than just another client--he genuinely wants the best outcome for you and goes the extra mile to make sure you get it. It's hard to find people like that. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frank and PropertyHealth to anyone. If you're looking for a team that is reliable, communicative, and truly cares, you won't find better.

I received a very detailed report loaded with pictures and recommendations that clearly laid out everything I needed to know from basic maintenance to urgent safety issues. I was able to move forward with my home purchase with a much better understanding of exactly what I needed to budget for as well as which items were more urgent that could be negotiated with the sellers for repair. If you want a solid inspection that will put your mind at ease hire this company. Not to mention the fact that the entire staff is very professional, kind and organized. I would use them again and again on a future purchase! Thank you Home Inspection Experts you guys deserve 10 stars!!!

Absolutely Unacceptable Experience - Avoid This Lab at All Costs…read more I had one of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences with this lab company. I went in for a mold test and followed every step they instructed, only to be told later that I never took the test. I repeatedly contacted them, explained the situation, and even provided what details I had--but each time, I was told I didn't exist in their system. Eventually, they admitted they "don't use a computer system," which is absolutely baffling and completely irresponsible for any company handling health-related diagnostics. Because of this outdated and disorganized process, my test results were never recorded, tracked, or delivered. They lost my personal information and treated me as if I was the one making a mistake. No accountability. No apology. Just a shrug and an "Oh well." This isn't just poor customer service--it's a potential risk to people's health. If you're considering using this company for anything remotely important, don't. Look elsewhere for a lab that actually knows how to handle sensitive information and respects the people relying on their services.
