Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
Post-remediation air quality test passed on the first try. Very happy with their work.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Kirkwood, MO homes
Mold Inspection in Kirkwood tends to start the same way mold does across Saint Louis County: crawl spaces and sump pumps around Kirkwood that struggle to keep up during wet spells. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Oakland, Glendale, Des Peres and the rest of Kirkwood call us.
We handle mold inspection for Kirkwood the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Valley Park, about 10 minutes from our Valley Park base, so we can usually reach a Kirkwood home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
