Business ProfileforHouseCheck Environmental Services

Had hurricane Ida damage to condo & needed mold remediation after substantial interior wind/water damage, weeks of no electricity & bad job of cleanup by *******. Personally hired a local company to test for mold. Toxic mold was found so had to vacate premises. Then hired ************ who required Housecheck Environmental Services (also doing business as National HouseCheck Corporation) perform mold test& inspection/survey of condo to provide scope of work for ************ to follow for remediation. I had not sought out HouseCheck on my own & was told by ************ they need the report from Housecheck in order to start work even though I questioned why I needed to hire them especially given I had already had mold test performed. One concern w/ having to hire HouseCheck was having to incur fees that were unnecessary. Housecheck would not give me a price but told me it would not be that much and that I can submit to insurance. I provided them with all info they requested relating to condo (ins. adjusters, HOA docs, previous mold report…) when appt was scheduled for May 8, 2022 the guy they sent out (Caleb) told me he couldn’t do his job that day bc air conditioner was broken & proceeded to chip away at ice on coils causing further damage & more expensive a/c repair.After a/c got repaired I rescheduled HouseCheck appt in which Caleb was assigned but he cancelled & flaked out couple times giving ridiculous excuses causing further delays w/ much needed remediation. Eventually had to contact ************ to handle matter w/Caleb’s supervisors to get him to come complete inspection report. On 6/9/22 he finally showed up but got to property late at night. He claimed he didn’t get to finish job so had to come back next day (6/10/22). Then got a bill for $10,573 for inspection report for 1,000 SF condo. Ins. refuses to pay bc they claim it’s price gouging/unnecessary work. Now got collections bill. They have revoked status with LA Sec of St. & are fraudulent at best.
