We found mold under the kitchen sink after a small plumbing leak. They removed the affected material, cleaned and treated the area, and used proper containment while working. The job was handled quickly and the space was left clean afterward.

Matt was professional and accommodating. His service was reasonably priced. The mold inspection, remediation and wall restoration was done back in December and we have had no problems. I would highly recommend this company.
