Environix

A-​OK in my book, let me tell you why. Normally, I do all of the interviewing/​hiring for the extended projects in my house (we’ve been working on it, on an off for 6 yrs). My husband wanted to have our home tested for lead. I walked into my living room and there was the lead inspector. He was nice and we all introduced ourselves. He then proceeded to do the work and then come back and sit down with us and walk us through his findings (or non-​findings; whew!). So, I come back into the living room and it dawns on me: this guy looks familiar. I read the jacket, it says Environix and I ask him his name to be sure and he says «Tim»! Needless to say, I almost fell over (*if you read my previous Environix review). Leave it to my husband — Yes, oh yes. I love him to death anyway.
After spending time with Tim (which I’m almost positive he recognized me), I absolutely had to update my review.
He was so professional, diplomatic and oh-​so courteous. So much so, I had to update my review.
Given the lambasting doled out at my house, I’m not so sure how I would’ve been… Gracious. How ‘gracious’ I would have. Because that’s how Tim acted.
He was the epitome of courtesy and grace.
The only reason I’m giving 3 stars now is because of my previous 1-​star experience.
This past one was 5 stars; averaging out to 3-​stars.
Hope this helps and good luck on your home assessment!

Just called Environix about some black mold in our house. I was super worried, because 3 of the 5 of us are currently sick. They said the worries and dangers of black mold are actually a myth. It is no more harmful than any other mold.
They said that if you are licking the mold or have a sensitivity to molds, then it can cause harm to you. If that’s not the case then they suggested cleaning it up with Borax and water. They did suggest to wear gloves though and to call them if it comes back or gets worse. Also said not to use bleach and that the bleach is more harmful than the mold.
Wonderful people. ^-^

I called Environix last week and received excellent pre-​information on the phone from Kathy. The fees were all spelled out very clearly. Today, the gentleman who did the inspection arrived at the scheduled time at my home. His name was Josh, and boy was he extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He reminded me of a much more personable «Sheldon», yes he was THAT smart and a great teacher! He conducted his examination and then told me about the things we needed to fix, the things that we didn’t need to worry about, what was a potential issue, what was not. He answered every question I had, took pictures for his report, and had a fantastic attitude while dealing with someone who was really worried about mold. (me). :) I’m SO glad I checked on Unilocal and found Environix. They more than deserve their rating! When we buy a house next spring, we will have an inspection done by them before we buy! Thank you so much Josh, you did a great job (and I didn’t even have to get out my Mossberg!). lol.

We had a contractor assure us that he could safely remove mold discovered in our bathroom. Long story short, he didn’t know what he was doing and the mold spores spread through our house and my family and I had to move out. Environix helped us safely clean up our home so we could move back in. James is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about mold and how to safely remove it. We highly recommend Environix and will use them for sure if we ever have any future problems.

Very good service and timeliness in work. Office staff coordinated all and were knowledgeable about the issues I needed to address. Assessment was clean and if you follow their steps, there’s a lifetime warrantee transferrable to a next owner. On-​site tech cleaned and performed mold treatment without leaving a mess. Whole procedure was done with protective gear and protection to the home.
I would strongly recommend Environix.

I was hesitant to spend $ 250 on an inspection because I had heard about bait and switch tactics from other consultants. However, it was well worth it and the recommendations were exactly what I was looking for and were not expensive.
The technician was professional and arrived on time and quickly assessed the moisture problem. He confirmed it was due to leaky plumbing under the floor slab that I was in the process of having a plumber fix.
He also recommended that I install Panasonic fans to add needed ventilation in the bathroom. I work in engineering so am familiar with these fans and know they’re the best solution. I rent the downstairs to tenants and he recommended installing an automatic timer in the garage so that they turned on regularly which was a great idea.
He also recommended having the porous travertine tile sealed which I did and it made a difference.
All great recommendations and not very expensive. Also good for peace of mind to know that I didn’t have a bigger problem than just the leaky pipes.
No more mildew smell now!

I was given a firm quote for testing. I had the exact date and time in my notes. I was told by the office manager that she wouldn’t honor the quote, after I had passed it on to my client with no markup. We were only $ 75 apart on a $ 800 order, but I felt as though the manger was calling me a liar in spite of my accurate notes.

I bought a house in a competitive bid situation necessitating pre-​inspections and acceptance as-​is, so I knew from the start that I’d have to deal with some attic mold remediation once we moved in. Not exactly a happy state of affairs, plus added stress at a time that was already very stressful. And yet, working with Environix and the extremely skilled, professional, friendly and helpful people there proved to be a total pleasure.
Everyone involved went out of their way to communicate thoroughly and to help in every way possible. Kathy was great in explaining what would be involved and in getting everything set up, and Jodie the project manager was extremely helpful in a series of emails as we worked through a series of little snags (all the house’s fault thanks to some work that had been previously) that we encountered.
Then there was Josh, the inspector (who ended up having to do some extra work because of aforementioned house oddities) and Jeremy, who handled the remediation work and related. They were fantastic — hard-​working, efficient, and all-​around great. What’s more, Josh was terrific about explaining various things about the house including some points not at all related to mold, and in devising some new ways of dealing with some of those weird house peculiarities. He was a godsend, and I still can’t believe that I actually enjoyed dealing with mold issues.
I wish every company were as professional as this one. They’re great!

I have lived in my apartment for over a year and my children are constantly sick. I hired Environix to perform a mold inspection and take an indoor air quality test. Josh came out and did his thing. He found mold in areas that I didn’t know could grow mold for example on the living room door hinges and underneath the toilet in my kid’s bathroom. It was pretty nasty stuff. Josh was able to point out minor mold that I could clean up myself. He informed me that the mold is a result of improper ventilation in my unit. He didn’t suggest any unnecessary work. He pointed out that my toilets are leaking into the wall but that is something that the property management has to take care of. He gave me straightforward information and the report on the inspection was clear and understandable. My indoor air quality test came back with extremely low levels. I probably could have been ok without having a mold inspection and test but I chose to do it for peace of mind. Josh was very informative and knowledgeable and didn’t intimidate me with a bunch of mold jargon. I would definitely hire Environix again if I have the need to.

Dan at Environix was able to make an inspection within a tight deadline, and was very thorough and knowledgable. When we discovered what I felt was significant mold in the window channels upon a tenants moveout, we were very concerned what we could see visually was only part of the problem. Dan measured every area of the walls to check for moisture, and air quality, and fortunately for us, it was only that surface mold, that we could see, and it was easily remedied. He made recomendations for increasing ventilation, which we followed, and have not had any reoccurance.

My experience with Environix was absolutely great. At a stressful time when mold was found in my attic during of selling my house, they came out very quickly, gave me an estimate that was very reasonable and completed the work within a week. Everyone at Environix was incredibly personable, kind and it made the entire experience very manageable. I would recommend Environix to anyone needing to alleviate a mold problem in their home or business,

The folks at Environix are real pros who are willing to go the extra mile for their customers. We hired Environix on a recommendation from our realtor to investigate water intrusion from a siding issue in our building. Their head office was very flexible on working with us to set a time and date for the inspection that would fit our work schedules.
The inspector, Dan Ventura, was very thorough and knowledgable, and made sure to explain all the steps of the inspection and what he found out along the way in easy-​to-​understand terms. In addition to water intrusion from the outside, Dan also analyzed air circulation and moisture levels inside our home. Based on these findings, he suggested installing a new set of powerful, energy efficient vents to keep the air moving and avoid issues.
The vent installation was also done by Environix at a quick turnaround and friendly service, again with flexible and quick scheduling. And when we needed the vents serviced, Environix came by on the next day to fix the issue; and the technician, Tim, also volunteered to climb on a ladder and patch up the hole in a siding until the siding company can take care of it.
So overall, Environix went about our issue with a professional, big-​picture perspective and great service and I highly recommend their services.

Professional, professional, professional. I would highly recommend this company. We engaged Environix to evaluate our new home and remediate a mold issue in the attic above the guest bathroom. Everyone on staff was professional, courteous and informed. They worked around our schedule. They explained what they were doing and why. They answered every question. They were friendly and insured the rest of our house stayed clean. A truly outstanding job. I would hire them again.
