Environmental Services Group ~ Moldinspections.Ca

We received a referral to ESG from a contractor that had done work for us in the past. Long story short, we did not "shop" the contractor and solely went on our contractors word. ESG performed the sample and took over 2 weeks to provide the final report. We have a 16 month old son and time was of the essence to have the mold removed. The work was actually completed before we received the final report.

When I asked if ESG would perform the final clearance test at no charge and in good faith for the delays and poor service on the initial report, the answer was simply "no". Not the response you would expect from a "repeutable" contractor that stands behind their name and service.

We purchased a newer home with some steep roofing. Ice damming became an issue in the first winter. Tara Valley from Environmental Services Group was able to pin point insulation issues on the cathedral ceilings so that we could be proactive and prevent further ice damming.

We bought a small cottage up in Magnetawan. Staying overnight had me stuffed up by the end of every weekend. After visiting the doctor he suggested having the cottage tested for mold. We had Tara Valley from Environmental Services Group visit our cottage to do the requried testing. She came prepared with her hazmat white suit and mask and went under the floor boards in our crawlspace and found a poorly vented crawlspace with pooling water. Some of the boards were rotten right below the bedroom. We received a written report with lab results and recommendations. Our general contractor is now lifting the cottage to repair the floor and vent the crawlspace.

We just purchased a condo in Mississauga. IT's been 5 months and condensation like crazy on the windows. Mold started growing on drywall around the windows. We had Tara from Environmental Services Group come check out the situation. We had to deal with the windows through the condo corp. She made it easy as she was able to give us a report with reasons why we had so much condensation. Turns out the ventilation fans were installed incorrectly. When the fans were turned on they were reversing into the unit. Thanks!

I hired ESG to come out and sample some materials for asbestos. I was very impressed with the portable HEPA vacuum, use of gloves and the fact that they wet the suspect insulation and plaster down first. Results came to me within two days. They were very professional and explained the next steps in proceeding with removing the insulation properly.

In the midst of renovating my bathroom, vermiculite insulation starting coming out the wall cavities. I immediately stopped the renovation and had Matt from ESG come out to test it for asbestos. I had some prior knowledge that this type of insulation can contain asbestos. Matt had the insulation analysed and we found out it was from Africa NOT Libby Montana. NO ASBESTOS!

I got several quotes for this job last November, and theirs was the most reasonable. Their staff was friendly and helpful. Within a week of taking the samples, they provided a professional, easy to understand, lab report via email attachment, confirming the existance of asbestos within the padding surrounding our floor registers and within the sheets used to separate the heating ducts from the ceiling joists in our furnace room. I was pleased and satisfied with their work, which enabled me to move forward in having that hazardous material removed.
