Really appreciate how Steve came in and from the second he walked through the door I felt relaxed about how this project was going to get managed. The team at 1-800 Water Damage of South Berks responded promptly and provided exceptional water mitigation services. Frankly, Im surprised myself at how un-stressed I feel about a project that could have caused much stress in our lives. Thank you, Steve, and your team.!

Stephen was great to work with. We had an air quality inspection completed. It was easy to schedule, the visit itself was fast, and he even allowed me to split up the payment owed. Thanks Stephen for bringing us peace of mind!

Amazing experience. Recommended by a friend to use them. Mr. George was absolutely professional and friendly and went above and beyond for us. We had a mold inspection done and then mold remedy done to get rid of it. We couldn't have asked for faster or better service. Absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for these services. Will 100% use them again!

Stephen and his company Mold Xperts are the best in the business. Hes certified, insured, professional, responded immediately, the quality of his work is the best, his cleanup was impeccable. Ive used him twice and if I could give him 10 stars I would because he deserves it. Ive used much larger mold remediation companies in the past and their work was terrible in all aspects as compared to Mold Xperts. Thank you Stephen!

Stephen was prompt, friendly, and responsive. He came out on the same day to assess the situation and to test for mold. He was knowledgeable and helpful. Weve scheduled to have our HVAC ductwork cleaned and fumigated by Stephen later this week.

Stephen from Mold Xperts has been so wonderful to work with. I recently moved into an apartment and found a lot of mold behind the water heater. Stephen came out the same day we called him, tested the entire unit (inside and outside), got the results back within 48 hours and went over the results with me in detail. He helped me decide that it was actually safer for me to move out of that apartment.
He has been so helpful, and I highly recommend hiring Mold Xperts! They do both testing and remediation! Thank you, Stephen, for helping me through this crisis, and for your speedy and thorough services!

Kyle was on time and not only inspected the area I was concerned of for water damage/mold in the basement. He went above and beyond and looked it at another area the attic for potential mold. How ever he did not try to get additional money by suggesting another test since he didnt not see a issue there. Just waiting on my results.

Stephen was fantastic! His very quick turnaround when mold was unexpectedly found during a home inspection kept my loan closing on pace. He carefully explained every aspect up front, and then did exactly what he said, when he said (quickly), at his (very reasonable) quoted price (no surprises). I hope I never have to need his services again, but if I do... I wouldn't go anywhere else.
