We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Rated 4.9 by Boston-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
They handled a big mold problem in our church building with care and respect. Excellent work.

We handle mold inspection for Boston 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.
