While a remediation company probably isn’t often praised for their care, empathy, and compassion I want to start by commending NEDS for all of that and more.
After nearly a year of our twin 4-year-olds consistently being sick with things like asthma and total hair loss, I looked into how mold toxicity could play in as a factor. We did an at-home mold test and found that there was mold in the air. I called a remediation company in our town and left a voicemail with obvious worry in my voice. Later that evening, I received a call from the owner of NEDS explaining that the other company had went out of business but he had heard the voicemail from that company’s owner and wanted to give me a call to help me out as soon as he could. I further explained our situation and he told me Samantha would be calling the next day to schedule something for later that week. The next morning she called and within a day I had Jason at my door to assess the situation. He did a thorough inspection and explained that remediation to 3 rooms was needed. He worked with me and my schedule to get the remediation started and also worked with our insurance company for payment (which is definitely the worst part – I have quickly learned that insurance companies are no fun to work with.) Unfortunately, once the remediation began, more mold was found in the walls and floors and ultimately we had to move out while remediation and rebuild is taking place. Jason helped us get connected to an environmental engineer so they could do a pre-remediation and post-remediation test on the house’s air to ensure that it will be safe to move back into. The craziest part about all of this to me is that we never could see any mold, it was all hidden!
Needless to say, this entire situation has been incredibly stressful on my family and me but Jason, Samantha, Josh, and the entire NEDS team has truly helped to ease some stress with their care, empathy, compassion, grace, concern, understanding, expertise, and listening ears. They have arrived on time each day, have left the house extremely clean (which is crazy because it is NOT a clean job), have been very fair with payment and pricing, Jason has answered all of my “concerned mom” texts (even on his wedding day!), he has kept me in the loop on everything happening, and has been very thorough and honest in explaining what is going on in our house. It is hard to trust someone you have never met with your greatest financial asset (house) and your greatest love (kids) but I trust Jason and his team and couldn’t have a higher regard for them all.
On a happy note – we have been out of the house during the remediation/rebuild process for two weeks and my kids haven’t needed their inhalers once and my daughter already has little hair sprouting up on her head!
I truly cannot thank Jason and his team enough for all they have done for us during such a stressful time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
