I've now had the opportunity to work with Artemio from Aquamess twice, most recently during a water…read moreleakage emergency. Despite the late hour, he responded promptly and came out to assess the situation, helping us get our water back up and running quickly. What stands out most is his honesty and transparency. Artemio goes above and beyond what you would expect from a standard assessment--he takes the time to clearly explain the issue and walks you through your options. Even when the work may fall outside his scope, he is willing to offer helpful recommendations and point you in the right direction. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine willingness to help make him someone I would confidently recommend to others in need of reliable service.

We had Aquamess Restoration evaluate our property in University Place where my daughter and family…read moreis living. They were wonderful to work with, responsive, honest and diligent from scheduling to actual evaluation. Unfortunately, the work needed on the attic (mold remediation, ventilation issues, removing/installing insulation, needing a new roof or extensive roof repairs) was more economically feasible hiring an insulation company and roofing company. We really appreciated Artemio's honest assessment and advice. They are a trustworthy company and do not operate by taking on any job solely to make money. They want what's best for potential customers and customers!

We are at the tail end of a partial basement remodel and our contractor discovered black mold under…read moreexisting carpet tiles in the area that is not getting remodeled. After we ripped up the entire carpeted space and treated it--I wanted info from a professional to see if there was anything else that we needed to do before getting the affected slab ground down and polished. I spoke with several companies who were unhelpful over the phone or charging ridiculous fees just to come out and provide an estimate. Mathew, the owner of Puget Sound Water Rescue was timely in his responsiveness over the Yelp App (on a Sunday afternoon) and ultimately provided us the perspective and information that we needed to determine whether or not professional remediation services were warranted at this point. Ultimately we determined with his help that they were not. Despite the fact that we did not end up hiring (anyone), his knowledge, honesty, and helpfulness were 5 stars worthy. Highly recommend talking to and/or Mathew for your remediation needs!

Matthew must be one of the most honest people in this business. I asked him to assess a situation…read morewhere we had a toilet overflow that leaked onto the lower floor. He did not try to upsell and seemed very transparent in his assessment. A few other water companies had pressured us to start an insurance claim there and then, saying the work would be more than our $5k deductible. Matthew told us that the water was very small and could be dried out with some DIY strategies. He then also looked at another issue we had and provided honest unbiased information about plumbers and contractors. He also provided a lot of small tips to prevent moisture and leaks in the future. I recommend Matthew as your first call and will definitely seek him out for future water damage needs.

I noticed black spots on the edge of our carpet along a wall and adjacent closet, and also had some…read moremaster bathroom shower baseboards bloated and warped from a likely small weep leak in the enclosure corner over the years. I called Green Planet from seeing their excellent review history and local family ownership, and they aligned their inspection to suit my availability the next day, and the owner David sent their very capable and friendly project manager JJ. He surveyed the areas and two things became clear: he knows his craft and summarizes his findings very well, and he came to our home prepared for any eventuality with his drywall and remediation team resources to inspect as well as perform the work if we chose to (which we did). After pulling the baseboards and carpet lips back, analyzing water/humidity levels within the walls and materials and checking the inner wall beams and studs, he determined it was not black mold and could be normally cleaned as some form of soot/dirt accumulation. This put us at ease for that part. Then on to the shower area, where he not only examined the MDF baseboard area but also checked telltale signs above on the upper wall sand ceiling inside the shower and even in the towel closet. He correctly removed the shower ceiling itself and a few inches of the upper walls, ad well as some of the lower wall adjacent to the baseboard damage to get the complete picture of where mold had been hiding. His team remediated the shower itself along with the attic roof plywood sheeting and trusses which also had some mold growth. And THEN he even realized the mold went a little further beyond so they also removed a small area in the adjacent second bedroom and uncovered the other portion of that same mold stretch on the attic sheets and trusses of our roofing underside. After finding and treating it all, the verdict was that the outer roof (replaced new 5 years prior) was a likely source at one time of a leak, in addition to the contributions made by the shower area and steam buildup due to a 18-inch soffit dropdown lip from the ceiling forming a typical "shower cup" that traps steam and does not vent it properly. JJ also suggested (which we are now doing) to remove the soffit entirely and make it a smooth ceiling since we have a contractor already there and it is not load bearing, and to add a newer fan with humidity sensing if possible, to prevent a repeat of this happening. So they recommended smart things to do beyond just remediation and restoration. All of this operation was done under strict quarantine of the areas affected, sealing off the work areas with tape-sealed zippered access liner walls and appropriate ventilation and drying units, since you do not want anything to spread of be inhaled just in case. JJ was clear about the first estimate and then the second estimate in the adjacent bedroom once they realized they had to extend it. So pricing was both reasonable and accurately estimated. I was present for various stages seeing the progress and getting an explanation for anything I was curious about. Again, I would heartily recommend Green Planet for any services they offer, if this job is an indication of the quality and care they put into doing their work.

In September, we found a damp patch of carpet in our basement and a slow leak in our HVAC unit…read more This spread to two rooms, damaging the carpet and big chunks of drywall. We called several emergency water restoration companies, but Green Planet Restoration was the only one able send someone out to access our situation that day. David, our field supervisor, thoroughly inspected the damage and gave us an honest and careful outlook about the restoration process. Optimistically planning on insurance coverage, but realistically expecting denial, he made sure that all work and costs were approved by us before and throughout the insurance process. Thankfully we ended up being covered, and David helped negotiate on our behalf. Olman, our project manager, was attentive and communicative. He kept us up to date with all the work and progress, and helped us coordinate with the workers we had coming and going for several weeks. The crew working on the house was excellent, too! Giovanni walked us through the work, and helped us when we wanted to make adjustments. We made some pretty drastic changes to our spaces, installing LVP in both rooms and painting the wall and ceiling a dark color in one of them. These big upgrades were easily handled. At no point did we ever feel like we were left hanging or out of the loop. Even throughout the payment process, with several hiccups with our insurance checks, they were kind, patient, and understanding. Green Planet Restoration and their team help make a nightmare of a situation much easier to manage. Thank you to the whole team!

I contacted these folks because an inspection on the house I'm buying showed mold in the attic and…read moreI needed to know how to remove it, mitigate it and prevent it from returning. Environix was recommended to me by my home inspector, as he'd just recently attended a seminar of theirs and was very impressed. He was definitely justified. From James Mallory , the President of the company to Kathy Myers, the Office Manager to Ryan Howe, the certified mold inspector, everyone at this company is first class and top-notch. James and Ryan both took their time to explain everything to me and answer my numerous questions with kindness and patience. And these two gentlemen know their stuff. An absolute pleasure to work with. Cannot recommend Environix highly enough. They will be doing a complete and thorough mold remediation on my house, which will allow me to rest easy knowing it's been done right.

Ivan, Jesus and Brandon were amazing from start to finish. We had moisture enter the house due to a…read moreroof leak, and these guys were professional and thorough throughout the entire remediation process. Jesus and Brandon were respectful of the space -- for example, when they had to take down some heavy closet doors and lean them against a wall, they put a cloth between the doors and the wall so as not to scratch the wall. They suggested fixes that in my mind went above and beyond, such as putting a layer of primer on the sheathing to help it resist moisture, should my roof leak again in the future. Hopefully I'll never need them again in the future, but if I do, they'll be the ones I call first.

We had Robinson come over for an estimate/inspection after we had a toilet overflow that leaked…read moreonto the floor below. After that experience, I question both the company's substantive knowledge and their ethics. First, they used some pressuring tactics to try to get me to sign on for their services right away. They urged me to make a homeowners insurance claim right away, saying that the work would surely be more than my $5k deductible. I asked what if we just took some remediation efforts without a claim, and they said just having a dehumidifier and fan in here for several days would already run $3k so I might as well file the claim. They otherwise would not offer an actual estimate for anything. The next day when they reached out to follow up, I said I didn't think it was worth it to file a claim and be out $5k. They then miraculously said they could do remediation for $2-$3k without a claim. I also had them look at another area of the house where we had some mystery water but was now visibly dry. I thought it came from outside rain. The technician said we had a leak and needed a plumber. I got a plumber in later who removed dry wall to look for the leak. There wasn't one. The plumber seemed really trustworthy and replaced a part just in case and was not $$$. But seemed to badly reflect on Robinson.

The sales pitch was definitely better than the service provided. During the consultation we were…read moretold about stain treatments, cleaning procedures, and scotch guarding. We were sold. We scheduled an appointment two weeks out. When the day came, Dirt Monster was a no show. I called twice before finally reaching them. It was then that they realized I was scheduled for today. Rather than re-scheduling me the owner came out and did the carpet cleaning. The carpets did look better afterward but I don't believe the pre-cleaning treatment and the post cleaning scotch guarding was done. I got the feeling that he was just hurrying to get it done. On top of that I paid the full price he quoted me with all the "bells and whistles" at consultation.

The owner of Dirt Monster is a true monster.

(I made a point to forget his name, but he's the owner.) He doesn't even make it when he's supposed to if another job comes in, then he argues with the customer, yes he argued with me, and then tries to defend his own poor business practices. He doesn't take instruction, just does passable service to make it easier for him and his assistant to get their money. He'll even park in your driving spot, leave a dirty trail in your living space, and leave debris behind to dispose yourself and still charge for it. Luckily, RestorX, came to the rescue. They are fast, courteous, and know what to do without bothering the customer. They asked if they should take their shoes off, they asked if they wanted me to recycle my extra recycling, they explained next steps for what needed to be done, and they did everything so quickly before I even had the chance to move my car out of the way for them. They even quickly lugged their equipment around the long way so as not to disturb me as I worked from home, even if I would've been happy to do so for them. The Monster needs to learn from them. Don't pay extra to pay for Dirt Monster's branded van. RestorX doesn't have the prettiest company van, but they're far faster, far better and far more professional than Dirt Monster will ever be.
