It was late at night on a weekend, and after calling several other companies with no response, Green Planet was available and came out promptly. The representative and employees were very pleasant and professional. There was a discrepancy regarding the billing; however, they were very responsive and eager to help me understand the charges and resolve the issue. I truly appreciated their willingness to address my concerns. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of biohazard cleanup services.

If you want water damage resolved quickly, they are what you are looking for. They were not the cheapest quote but they were the fastest. I got quotes from other places that included drywall repair but they were a few days out. So I decided to go with Green Planet because they could start immediately. The only thing was that their quote didn't include drywall repair. I was told it's another dept and I would need to get a quote or I can find my own handyman. Ok how much can it be? Well after the water damage was resolved, I started getting quotes for drywall repair. I found out it was very expensive. In fact, well past the quote from the other places that included drywall repair. If I were to do it again, I would get quotes for the complete work so I can compare apples to apples.

"Multiple Layers" of Deception and Unprofessionalism…read more.. In my correspondence with Gene K., a representative of Scope Environmental (cut and pasted from Yelp chat room) mentions "We can definitely help. Our asbestos inspection, survey, and lab results pricing is very competitive. It's $625 for the inspection and report. Each sample is $35. No other fees. Generally, results and reports will be available within 24-48 hours". Gene K. also mentioned the following "Some samples have multiple layers, and that can not be determined prior to taking the physical sample. You are welcome to call in so that you can properly comprehend the procedures". However, UNDISCLOSED FEES can creep into the price charged to the customer, e.g. such as the need to test "multiple layers" of one material; so, "No other fees" is (deliberately) misleading and therefore, deceptive. A field inspector (Daisy Flamenco) of Scope Environmental, arrived at the project site and upon seeing the area that needed sampling, asked the homeowner for a ladder to get her modest stature to the sampling material areas. When sampling the ceiling, Ms. Flamenco was barely able to reach the sampling surface (needed to be on her tippy toes), even with a step ladder (provided by the homeowner). ALL sample takers must come fully prepared for all conditions at the work site and not rely on the homeowner to provide tools, equipment or assistance of any kind to do THEIR job! Ms. Flamenco was dressed casually, no respirator or other appropriate protective equipment or gear, which is not only hazardous to herself, but sends the message to the homeowner (overseeing the work), that asbestos is really not that harmful. Even two and a half years following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is appropriate if all workers who enter a home, to wear a mask or at least offer to wear one, but Ms. Flamenco failed to show the occupants of the residence, such consideration. Most (professional) people return to bad pre-pandemic habits, even if to protect the home's occupants from the common cold. What is really inconsiderate and unprofessional, is that Ms. Flamenco had disturbed suspected asbestos containing materials by scraping and cutting away material from parts of a furnace and its ducts, leaving the furnace and ducts out-of-order, i.e. if no asbestos or other harmful materials were found, the furnace and ducts could not be safely and effectively used without first repairing them. Leaving carcinogenic materials exposed (cutting, scraping or otherwise removing and exposing asbestos) to those who live at the work site, is hazardous and unprofessional and should never be done this way. Exposing harmful materials puts people and animals at risk of exposure to carcinogens and asbestosis causing particles! Asbestos sample takers should take measures to seal or otherwise cover, exposed asbestos containing materials (when they are through sampling them), to protect home occupants. This experience was a wake-up call to how incompetent workers can make a bad situation, worse!

After my plumber discovered extensive sewage leakage beneath my house, we needed immediate cleanup…read morebefore any repair work could begin. We contacted Scope Environmental because they specialize in a wide range of services, including sewage and mold remediation. Veronika was courteous, highly responsive, and scheduled a team to come out the same day. Peter and his crew were professional, efficient, and thorough. They quickly extracted the standing water, debris, and sewage, then applied absorbent materials to the wet areas to remove moisture. They also installed heaters and drying equipment to prevent further damage. I appreciated that they returned over the following days to monitor progress and ensure everything was drying properly. Their support during such a stressful situation made a world of difference. I highly recommend this reliable, family-owned company for anyone needing this kind of emergency cleanup services.

Due to the pipe burst, my entire flooring was damaged, and all the kitchen cabinets were ruined. i was recommended SOS restoration by my neighbors who has mold issues just a few months back. I reached out via yelp and was immediately helped. Having a pipe burst is the absolute worst and a very stressful experience to deal with. i was very impressed by the company's communication and response to come out the same exact day! One of their supervisors Elay arrived to my home respectfully and timely within an hour. Not only did he assure me that the situation would be handled in no time but his team got to work immediately by drying the water and setting up the actual equipment. In no time, the water was all dried and cleaned up, thankfully in time for Mold to not develop. i was very pleased. Elay explained the entire process, was super professional to work with and even helped me with my insurance claim. SOS made a horrible situation manageable and left my home looking new again. highly highly recommend working with this great time. Affordable pricing, quality team workers. Can't thank you guys enough...!

We hired Haztek after the Palisades fire to left light smoke & asbestos dust in 2 areas. What…read morefollowed was a nightmare. Their work increased contamination in the exact areas they were hired to fix. Over a period of 2 months they failed multiple clearance testing, left visible ash behind & caused over $50K in unnecessary damage. Haztek advertises as experts in asbestos, lead, mold & fire but only hold a general contractors license. You can verify this on the CSLB website. Our experience has been devastating and I strongly warn anyone considering hiring them to read all their reviews and look up what they are actually licensed for. You'll find the majority of 5 star reviews are from customers who had phone call consultations and never actually worked with this company, which is misleading but not surprising given the things we've learned about Ami. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs!

Reasons I chose to use Fun Guy: Besides # of stars and reviews, I enjoyed the thorough conversation on the phone with Robert. I gave him the issue, he laid it out with a, b, c, was knowledgeable and honest about the possibilities, and despite him not having gone yet, he made me feel secure and at ease with the process and outcome. One of our clients needed closet checked for mold. Despite our best efforts, we wanted to put her at ease and have a professional come out to test. Robert was able to schedule in a timely manner, showed up at the time he advised, was able to take samples to test, and was able to provide results/report to give to our client. He is a one man show on the scene, so it's great he has an answering team to back him up as when I had questions, the staff was great in paging him and I was able to get a call back in a timely manner. Thank you again for coming out! Would def recommend.

I knew I had a leak in the house, but the first plumber I called was not able to locate and…read moreidentify the source of the leak. I then called Sherlock and that turned out to be a great decision, because they not only quickly found the leak (under the house), but also resolved the problem! I was able to get a quick next day appointment with Sherlock, Ron came out and I'm telling you he found the leak in record time, a true specialist! He then clearly explained some options for resolving the problem and mentioned their company also fixes leak issues. I decided to hire them again to stop the leak and do some pipe rerouting work. The second appointment was also quickly scheduled, and this time Ron brought his partner Amit for the resolution work. Both Ron and Amit and very knowledgeable and professional, they both demonstrated strong problem solving skills and they work very well together...that in itself was a nice thing to see! Both Ron and Amit provide ideas for solutions that will have minimal damage and be cost effective, which made where to reroute the water line a less stressful decision for me. Like I mentioned above, a major advantage in going with Sherlock is they not only identify the leak source, but they also fix problem. They are skilled and equipped to deal with anything from start to finish, which is very efficient and ideal for the client. Overall my experience with Sherlock was totally great, they identified and solved my problem very professionally, and saved me from a lot of additional stress and cost. Based on my experience working with Ron and Amit, I highly recommend Sherlock for leak detection and resolution and would not hesitate to refer them to family and friends. If you suspect or know you have a pipe leak, save your time and money and just call Sherlock and they will get it done for you! A BIG THANK YOU to Ron and Amit for the outstanding work and service they provided...very highly appreciated, thanks a lot guys!!

He quoted me $350.00 over the phone. He came with an infrared detection device and another device that detects water movement. He thoroughly checked the area of concern, and fortunately did not find anything major, and he assured me that I did not have a slab leak. (Big Sigh of Relief) Ron determined that the water most likely came from my reverse osmosis system, and I concurred. (A new one is on the way) In the end he only charged me $250.00, because he said it was easy. How great is that? You don't often find a business that would do that type of thing these days. The proof is in the pudding people. Thank you Ron - 5 Stars

They cleaned everything, including inside the cabinet drawers, every counter, the floors, anything left on the floors, the kitchen, bedrooms, etc. They ended up needing a few extra hours so stayed late rather than having to come back because they knew she was anxious to get back into her house! I highly recommend Eco Bear!

Scheduling was smooth and they showed up exactly when they said they would. Pricing was fair and clearly explained upfront -- no surprises, no pressure. They communicated every step of the way, so I always knew what was happening and what to expect next. What really stood out was the human side of their work. They understood that this wasn't just a job site -- it was someone's home and a difficult time for the family. They treated it that way. They also took the time to educate me about the specific issues that come with an unattended death situation, which helped me make informed decisions and gave me real peace of mind. The work itself was thorough and professional. If you're facing one of these situations -- and nobody plans to be -- Bio SoCal is exactly who you want in your corner. Highly recommend without reservation.
