Check For Mold

Quiet thorough professional. Couldn’t have been more pleased.

Gerick is the man!
He’s deal with my fickle realtor and selling agent who don’t want me to get him in there since I already signed off on inspection contingencies.
Just want to make sure my newborn baby isn’t going to get sick from some nasty mold, or some non-​worrisome mold under the sink.
I’ll keep you posted after he does his thing tomorrow!
Great call backs, texting, and customer service so far.
Has expressed 0 frustration dealing with my asshole realtors too!

Left Geric a voicemail at midnight and he texted us back immediately and then called us in the morning. We let him know about the urgency of our situation and he came out and sent out our results for testing the same day. We received results next day. Not only that, he quoted us for 4 test but ended doing 3 and adjusted his quote.
Geric was professional, friendly and very quick! Highly recommend!

Used Geric at Check for Mold on a bathroom remodel. No issues. Quick service. Good price. Reliable. Thank you!

I am a property manager, and one of my properties had a problem with mold. Geric came to the house on very short notice, and was able to help clear up the problem. Very professional, and a nice person. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with mold.

I called Geric late Friday evening and he called me Saturday morning. I left a total of four voicemails with mold inspectors and only Geric and another company called back. Geric was kind to fit me in on Sunday because I think I must of come off as a nervous reck with my tenant concerns of mold.
Geric price for inspection and lab testing, is competitive and honestly much less than the last inspector I used. Geric is certified, well qualified, knows his mold spores, approachable and detailed.

Geric is a good as a gets when it comes to efficiency, professionalism, and provided very professional results. We had a full report from a credible lab within 24 hours via email! Unfortunately my lab results showed toxic mold in my unit but if it wasn’t for Geric’s willingness to come on a moments notice at a reasonable price I wouldn’t have known the facts about the mold in our apartment. Geric exceeded my expectations! He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The Irvine Company would not even have our unit tested for the mold which was black and growing a dang mushroom near the a/​c unit! But Geric got it done! Highly recommend
!!!

HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION * Geric is AWESOME!
Not only did he schedule the inspection the minute I requested one, he was FAST professional and the results were delivered as promised within 24hrs!
Geric is easy going and easy to talk with, he not only answered all my questions, he took the time to talk to my boyfriend on the phone when he had questions — EXCELLENT customer service.
His recommendations were greatly appreciated and his prices were the absolute BEST price — some other companies listed here on Unilocal wanted more than double
I will use him again and he has our absolute highest possible recommendation
Why pay more for an inspection when you don’t have to? Call Geric — he’s great — very easy to work with and he sends you the results lightening fast!
THANK YOU again, GERIC!
we truly appreciated your outstanding service and price

I called Geric at Check For Mold because of all the great reviews.
I was very pleased with his inspection process and would highly recommend.
Thanks Geric.

We needed a mold inspection sooner rather than later, and I called another company who would not check the outside of our house, though that was where the suspected problem was. The second call I made was to Check For Mold, who was able to come out the next day, Geric was entirely friendly and nice, did a complete inspection of our outer walls, charged a very reasonable amount, and them sent us a report right away confirming that it was only water-​stains and recommending exactly how to clean them. Nobody wants to have mold on or in their house, but I am happy to know that if we have any problems in future, we know exactly who to call!

I worked with Geric and had a very good experience. He was very professional and patient and very willing to talk to me about all the concerns. Could not have been more helpful and eased some of the stress of dealing with Mold. Also I found their pricing to be very reasonable and appreciated that greatly. I would completely recommend Geric and Check for Mold!

Geric was incredibly helpful when we found mold in our home. He came out on a sunday within a few hours. He collected samples, took photos and had a professional report to us later that evening. He even called to review the lab results with us — which were right on time too!

We had some funky looking mold on our living room floor so I called Check For Mold to come in for an inspection. Geric showed up on time and was very professional. He found the source of the problem quickly and made some very helpful suggestions. Thank you Geric!!!

I was beside myself about an apparent (and worsening) mold issue at my rental home in La Crescenta. After consulting about 300 sites for info and hiring 2 other companies (at ~$ 550 each) to come and inspect my home, I happened upon Geric at «Check for Mold» (or
).
INDEPENDENCE: The first thing I noticed about this company was that they are not testers-​remediators. They are testers only. Thus, they do not have any conflicts-​of-​interest impacting their sampling and reporting. This was a very important credential to me and should be to everyone.
IMPRESSIVE KNOWLEDGE, NO SALES PITCH– Geric was able to go toe to toe with me on my tough questions and sounded like he knew even more than this self-​proclaimed «Mold Maven» did — especially about the building science aspect and proper mold sampling protocols. His pitch was like a non-​pitch. He didn’t try to sell me his services at all. He sounded like the lab partner I copied off of in high school, only cuter and more genial.
SERVICE: Geric was very flexible in his scheduling, agreeing to come early on a Saturday morning (of a holiday weekend, no less) in spite of having multiple appointments that day. He arrived 5 minutes early and set right to work while asking me questions. Even though I was only purchasing samples, Geric gave me the time and attention that he would have devoted for a full-​scale inspection with samples (I know, because I had already paid for 1 dud inspection and 1 «ok» one). Geric also listened to all my protracted theories about the mold source and cause, and he thoughtfully contemplated each of them.
PRICING: After I mentioned that I would probably want to get about 10 samples at $ 75 each, (fyi: my other inspector, CSI Mold, was going to charge me $ 100+ per sample), Geric said that I would really only need 7 samples and proceeded to explain why. (talk about integrity; this guy talked me out of giving him an extra $ 225!).
RESULTS: Geric then told me that he would have the results and report ready for me in 3 days. On the morning of the 3^rd day, there it was-​sitting in my email inbox: a bright and shiny report, replete with lab results from an accredited AIHA lab (that part was super important to me, as the results would have been dismissed by my landlord if they weren’t from a legit lab). My first mold inspector didn’t even bother to send me a report; the second one took well over a week-​and that was without samples. The report was easy to understand and summarized the issue succinctly and clearly. I now knew the areas to focus on for remediation. Moreover, I knew the types of mold that I was facing down.
OVERALL: Geric was superb. He outperformed both of my other «highly recommended» inspectors and charged far less. I could not be happier with this outcome. Thank you, Geric at «Check for Mold»!
