Description of work:

I called Mold Busters LLC after I discovered black mold in the lower section of my rear, north-facing attic. I had had this section of the roof replaced two years before for mold, and now it was back. Larry Hobman, the owner of Mold Busters, listened carefully to my problem and advised that the old insulation be removed, and that both mold killer and mold guard be applied to the attic. We agreed on a price and he came out three days later.

Larry arrived on time on a Thursday, examined the attic, and began to remove the insulation. We discovered that the insulation was not only roll out bats that I had been adding over the years, but 55 year old rock wool, 3" deep insulation, as well. He worked non-stop (no lunch, no bathroom breaks) from 10 AM to 4 PM, removing 65 full trash bags of heavy, very filthy insulation. He returned the next day, Friday, and sprayed and then fogged "SHOCKWAVE," an EPA registered agent to kill the mold. He then sprayed, using an electric compressor, "Fosters Full Defense 40-25," to kill and encapsulate the mold. This appears like a white paint on the wooden surfaces throughout the attic. He then removed half of the 65 trash bags and returned on Sunday to remove the rest. Throughout this process, Larry answered my many questions with patience. He was careful to use tarps, cleaned up after himself, and provided an invoice for me to submit to my insurance company. I believe that moisture had been migrating from my house through the very old and packed, non-faced insulation. Hopefully, with its removal, new vapor barrier insulation with a total of R-43, adequate ventilation from a Smart Vent, and Larry's anti-microbial treatment, this problem has been solved. I would recommend Mold Busters LLC for anyone fighting a mold problem.

Inspection and troubleshooting

Mold Busters came out and did a very thorough walk through and gave me an idea of where to begin due to unusual mold in my finished basement. He was honest and didn't charge me a dime even after I offered to pay for his time. I am taking his advice and pursuing other troubleshooting ideas first and if I need him further on down the line, which I hope I won't, I will be calling him as he is very punctual and showed up the day after I first called. Most others that I called were scheduling me out for over a month. I would HIGHLY recommend him due to his ethical nature which is rare in business these days.

Larry showed up on time and preformed a thorough inspection visual, moisture detection and air sampling. Observed a few minor issues that he offered advice on how to fix at no charge. I would absolutely recommend Moldbusters and would definitely call if I needed help in the future Jeff B

Description of work:

A house I was selling had mildew/mold on the floor joists in the basement. Larry treated the entire area. Another house we had for sale had a leak in the basement, under a window well. After the grading issue was addressed by another contractor, Larry took air samples.

I am a REALTOR and Mold Busters has treated a basement that tested for mold and Larry has performed air samples for mold in several properties that my office has sold. Larry was extremely responsive on my inquiries and punctual with repairs/remedies and tests. Pricing is extremely fair.

Description of work:

We discovered a leak in our finished basement. Larry removed the rotted/mold materials and treated the structural pieces. He also tested for mold after remediation was complete.

Larry did a great job and removed all of the rotted wood and drywall. Price was a little higher than we expected.

Description of work:

A small crack in a water pipe led to some water damage in my (finished) basement. As a result some mold started to form on the drywall and cement floor (noticed after the carpeting and padding was removed). We needed a relatively minor mold remediation.

Larry, the owner, did a great job. His prices were so, so much better than his competitors. Other competitors (listed high on the Angie's List) refused to come to my home for less than $1,000 for an inspection plus $1,500 for the minimum in remediation work. However, Larry did a really nice and thorough job, which included $150 for inspection and some lab testing, and $350 for the clean-up and floor sealant. I'd highly recommend him. Note: The other competitors will try to scare you and make you believe that all the other companies don't have certification and follow proper clean-up procedures -- thus, they try to charge super-high fees... Larry (Mold Busters) is certified and he charged an honest prices for a job well done.

Description of work:

We had a small mold problem in a storage room in our finished basement. We needed some drywall removed and the wood studs treated for mold. Larry removed the drywall and some insulation and treated the area for mold.

I called Larry at Mold Busters and he was very responsive. He made it through a recent snow storm to make his appointment to give us an estimate. It was a small job (two 8 foot walls), but he had no problem quoting us a price which we found very reasonable. He was punctual on the day of the work and he completed the work promptly and professionally. Even though he found a bit more mold and had to cut out some extra drywall, he only charged the quoted price. All in all we were very satisfied and would not hesitate to use Larry again and to recommend him.
