Nv Environmental

Ian Shapiro is one of the best hygienist out there, his experience and credibility makes feel every single client secure about any problem regarding with mold and water damage. From a professional to a professional Ian does an standing job

Ian was very professional. Was exactly on time for our appointment (even though I was late). He went out of his way to answer questions and phone calls from me even though it wasn’t in the job description. He definitely made this horrible stressful time a lot easier to deal with.
Highly Recommended.

Great customer service! Scheduling the appointment was easy. The inspector arrived right on time and was friendly, efficient and respectful. The clean and detailed mold report was in my email inbox the next morning! Ian’s communication was great, as were his referrals. Highly recommend.

I can only echo all of the 5-​star reviews already written. Ian explained everything in a simple, clear way. He is not high pressure, and he does not try to upsell by scaring you. In fact, he went out of his way to calm my fears about mold in our basement. His report was very thorough. I would give him a 10-​star review if I could!

Ian was incredibly professional, thorough and helpful throughout the entire process. After my scumbag landlord refused to send anyone out to inspect my apartment for the black mold I found, Ian was able to get people out to my place the next morning.
Both he and his assistant were very clear and communative in explaining my options, and didn’t try to sell me what would make them the most money. Ian was also willing to work with my on my payment options which was really helpful.
He wrote up a 13 page report not only explaining the the testing as well as the mold found, but he included a professional recommendation on how to properly fix the problem, which I’ll probably need later for small claims court since my landlord just painted over the mold.
He couldn’t have been more professional throughout the whole process, especially when my landlord cornered him in the parking lot and tried to squeeze him for information.
I would recommend Nv Evnironmental to anyone looking to get the most thorough and professional help with their air quality needs, and I would go back to them in a heartbeat if anything like this ever happens again.
Thanks Ian!

Ian was professional and communicative. His results were thorough, and he went out of his way to get us our report as quickly as possible. Would absolutely use again; highly recommended.

Prompt service and takes time to answer questions.

These guys are on your side. I’ve had mold suspicions in my apartment for months. I contacted NV because they are local to my apartment in West Hollywood. John answered the phone and asked my concerns. He could have hard sold me on testing that should be done yesterday. Instead he advised me on steps to take before getting the inspector to come out. You can tell he was well versed in customer’s relations with landlords and mold remediation. John spoke to me for 15 minutes and was a wealth of knowledge. I don’t have to get the inspection right now, but when I do, Nv will be doing it. Very impressed. Thanks John!

I suspected mold in the home that I am renting, and got on Unilocal to find some reputable help. I found NV Environmental, and I called them to come to my house, because of all the 5-​stars and positive reviews on Unilocal.Here is my experience with NV Environmental: I first called them last week, and John answered the phone. John was very nice, and he throughly explained what his company does, in a way that was easy to understand. He then sent Ian Shapiro out to our house. Ian came very quickly… the next day, if my memory is correct. My husband dealt with Ian, and said Ian was extremely friendly and also explained things well. Ian did the inspection and took samples. Ian then dealt with our property manager, who is not easy to deal with, but Ian handled it! Ian also sent me a VERY detailed report, itemizing the findings of the inspection, complete with pictures, and recommendations on how to deal with the issue that was upon us. Overall, the experience with Ian and this company was very positive, very pleasant, very thorough, and everything was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend this company to anyone with mold concerns, who needs real, professional advice on what to do.

Highly recommended! They were able to squeeze us in for a mold inspection appointment the very next day. John, the office manager, was very nice and responsive on the phone. Ian, the inspector, arrived early for the inspection, seemed very knowledgeable and thorough. and was prompt in sending his report. Best of all, the price was less than the other places I called.
Updated to add: The house we had Ian inspect fell through and we’re now in the process of buying a different house. Unfortunately, Ian wasn’t available to do the inspection and we had to hire another mold specialist that had come highly recommended. While very nice, the second specialist was more expensive and didn’t seem to be nearly as thorough.

Highly recommended. Ian is pleasant, knowledgable and informative. He made having to deal with this as painless as it could be. Wouldn’t consider calling anyone else if the need comes up again.

I HIGHLY recommend them. VERY professional and thorough.
I was worried about some mold I found on the walls of my bathroom, in addition to evidence of water damage I discovered in my apartment building, so I contacted Nv Environmental and booked an appointment to get my apartment checked out.
Arriving at my apartment on time, Ian clearly and thoroughly explained to me what he was going to do on his inspection and answered all of my (many) questions and concerns regarding water damage. He is very knowledgeable and provided very comprehensive answers. His demeanor was very professional and his inspection very thorough. You can tell he takes what he does very seriously, which is very reassuring when you get as worried as I do.
Results from air tests and inspections were delivered on time as well, and results were also very clearly explained. Nv is very trustworthy, delivering results and answers as promised and on time. Their service to their customers and attention to detail is impeccable. I am absolutely recommending them to everyone I know!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Nv Environmental. Both Jon and Ian were extremely professional and knowledgable of anything related to mold and water damage inspection. I never once felt rushed or inconvenienced by Ian’s inspection visits but enjoyed learning about the process.
Nv was extremely prompt in emailing the receipts/​invoices for each visit, and the sample tests came back earlier than expected. There is no one else I would recommend other than Nv. Hands down.

I can’t say enough good things about Ian and NV Enviormental. The professionalism and courtesy were greatly appreciated, as was the bedside manner ! I felt reassured and confident that I hired the right guy to help me.
Ian was very knowledgeable and got right to it, intuitvely knowing where the problem spots were, and quickly diagnosed the problem. Elevated moisture and mold.
I got a detailed report the next day to submit to my landlord. The report was comprehensive and complete with accompanying photos, describing specific problem areas.
I’ve recommended NV to co-​workers, and, am glad to recommend them to fellow Unilocalers as well.

I received a call from my landlady while out of town last week, stating that she wanted to enter in my apartment unit because there was some «water issues» with the unit above me. Needless to say, this freaked me out a bit. I am highly allergic to mold and I have other respiratory problems, so any type of moisture in my unit would be very, very bad news for my health.
Naturally, I found Nv Environmental on Unilocal and with the grew reviews, I gave Ian a call early this AM. I was impressed by by many aspects of his service including (not in any particular order):
*I was able to make a same day appointment and Ian showed up early
*He was professionally dressed
*His inspection for mold in my apartment was very thorough — including looking under the sinks, in closets, etc.
*Ian took the time to explain what he was doing; he answered all my questions and gave me an easy to understand, no nonsense summary of my apartment’s situation
*Given my situation, he could have easily unsold me on further testing such as pricey air sampling (which I may or may not need in the future), but instead he recommended a few other do-​it-​myself solutions to try to resolve the problem
*He didn’t freak out when I asked him to take off his shoes when entering my apartment (I have carpet and I don’t allow shoes to track dirt/​dust/​yuckies inside). In fact he was very courteous and understanding. Many other people such as the cable guy and even my landlord fuss at me when I ask them this favor
*He kindly answered my stupid questions about what is normal amount of mold in my shower. Yes, I’m not very smart but he didn’t make me feel dumb, which I really appreciate
In summary, I feel Ian at Nv Environmental is as good as it gets. Thank you for your help, Ian!

Ian came through to help us check out a place that we were considering purchasing. We pointed out a few problem spots that we had noticed, and he took over with the rest. He’s pretty quick, but thorough catching plenty of things we would never have noticed. He was pretty blunt about what he thought was made poorly, as well as what things were not a big deal…
He had a report typed up for your records, as well as for purchasing negotiations as needed within a couple of days which was nice.
Make sure to check out my review for the Property Professor for the regular home inspection side of things too. They worked great together as a team!
Thanks Ian!

UNBELIEVABLE to work with extremely professional, when it comes to understanding the world of MOLD this is the guy to work with. I been in the real estate industry for 28 years, if you have a escrow that has a mold concern and need it to close, Ian will do just that help you CLOSE your escrow! He makes the mold world easy.

We had just moved into a new apartment and everything was great. Then a pipe broke in the unit above us. My landlord had taken some measures to clean up and dry out the place, but because there was so much water I was skeptical about whether those measures would be sufficient.
I called Ian in the morning and he was able to make it out the same day. He even arrived just a little bit early, and waited for me out front. Ian reflexively knew that what the landlord had done would not be sufficient. He took moisture measurements EVERYWHERE, and thoroughly documented every reading with a photograph. He was friendly and professional, and highly knowledgeable, not just about industrial hygiene, but also giving me some practical advice about resources should my landlord not comply with his recommendations.
He had the report done in a couple of days. It was of the highest quality: clear, organized, detailed, and specific. It identified problem areas and also gave recommendations on exactly what ought to be done to protect me and my family from potential future mold growth. The same day I passed the report on to my landlord, she responded by saying that she was having more work done on my unit to better dry out the walls and ceiling.
I would highly recommend Ian to any person who is concerned about water damage or mold growth. Were that not enough to convince you, I had called four companies that morning, and Ian had not only the fastest response time, but also the most competitive quote.

Highly recommended!
I am the building manager and called Nv on behalf of the building owner to respond to and investigate a tenant concern.
I initially emailed Nv through their website to book an appointment and got a phone call before I was able to call them (that’s a good thing!).
Ian came and did a thorough inspection and diagnosis. I will refrain from getting into the report, as this review is about Nv as a company, rather than the report results. Ian discussed the results and recommendations at length with myself and the tenant, answering all questions comprehensively.
I received an emailed invoice and report within a day.
Also, their pricing is very, very competitive.

Who knew there were so many nasty things that might be growing in the house you (or your clients) want to buy? Well, actually, Nv knows it and will find it. Plus, since they aren’t in the find-​it-​n-​fix-​it biz, there’s no conflict of interest. Anyway, just because we live in a desert, doesn’t mean we’re free of mold and fungus. So, live healthy: get the proposed purchase checked out first! (Then, fall in love with the house of your dreams… or the commission you’ve earned.)
These guys are fast, courteous and professional. Keep their number handy.
