We can honestly say that MEC Environmental is one of the finest companies we have ever worked with. We previously hired a local company to help with a water/mold situation and 4K later nothing was fixed.

We can honestly say that MEC Environmental is one of the finest companies we have ever worked with. We previously hired a local company to help with a water/mold situation and 4K later nothing was fixed.
MEC came in and properly enclosed the area so nothing was spread further into our home. Their protocol is amazing. The staff ( Caleb, and Abel particularly) were so friendly, yet extremely professional. They and the finishing companies they work with were more than helpful and completed our remediation in a short time. We appreciated how careful they were with our personal belongings also.
I literally have nothing negative to share.

Phenomenal job! I was so stressed out over an unexpected leak in my upstairs bathroom. Abel was my restoration tech and he did an incredible job. He always communicated with me about arrival times, what was going on, what he was doing, what to expect, and he was always prompt, courteous, and just an all around great guy. Thank you MEC, this has been a much smoother experience than I thought it would be when I found the leak.

They were very prompt and knowledgeable. I called when our water heater broke and they were at our home within an hour. They were very efficient and helpful and walked us through the entire process. We felt relieved that they were able to help us and make things easier to handle.
