Working With Attorneys

Imagine a pipe bursting in your upstairs bathroom while you’re out for the day. When you come home, your house is completely flooded with water damage severe enough to dry your savings and retirement right up. That is the reality Gregg and Cindy Comey experienced on March 7, 2013, when their new house flooded. According to a 2015 article by Eileen Frere published on ABC 7, that was just the beginning of their water woes.

Despite having paid State Farm, their insurance company, premiums for two decades, the company allegedly conspired with two so-called independent contractors to cut corners, covering up mold-related issues in order to save money on refurbishing costs. According to the article, “Instead of removing mold damage, the Comeys say [one of the contractors] sprayed a white-colored paint called Kilz to cover it up, in order to pass a mold test, which initially failed.”

Unfortunately, this type of neglect by insurance companies, landlords, and Home Owner Associations is not uncommon. In 2013, State Farm stated there were 17,900 residential water related claims in California. In many of those cases, premium-paying customers ended up stuck with an outrageous bill while mold continued to fester.

I had a severe water leak due to my bathroom not being waterproofed correctly which caused moisture and mold issues. Joseph and Demi provided me with the reports I needed in order to hold my contractor liable for his faulty work. They were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to help us through this unfortunate problem. This company is among the very few of certified professionals that is approved for legal court documentation requirements.

We had to get tested in our commerical property! They came recommended and we are glad we called them! They were knowledgeable, honest, and thorough. We are so grateful they helped us make sure our kids building was safe and catch the wrong work done to take away our mold. Thank you so much ! Pasadena Foursqaure Church

Our family recently underwent a mold remediation process, which was quite unpleasant. It left us feeling sick and anxious about the possibility of going through it again, especially if we hired a company that didn’t take the time to do the job properly. We realized that air samples alone are not enough to ensure safety! We want to thank Joe for being thorough with his testing, as it provided our family with true peace of mind. We will definitely be using his services again in the near future for more testing and clearance. Thank you!

I recently used GPMI to inspect my home for mold after noticing a musty smell in our Newport North/ Irvine Company home. Joseph and his team were incredibly professional and thorough. As we feared and suspected, abnormal and high levels of MOLS SPORES for the following organisms throughout our Irvine Company home: Aspergillus Penicillium, Chaetomium and Stachybotrys.

They provided a detailed report with their findings, which we relayed to our Attorneys. Without this report and PROOF this property made us ill, the Irvine Company would continue to gaslight and say there "were zero issues with the unit." I would highly recommend them to anyone concerned with potential mold in their home.

GPMI is absolutely wonderful! They are one of the many reasons I am still alive today. After years of chasing my tail, wondering what was causing all sorts of health issues, my naturopath told me to consider environmental factors within the place I was renting. Western medicine was of no help, so I was at my wit's end. I started doing the research and was blessed to find Joe Hernandez and his company. He listened intently to my health issues and concerns. He was so great at being a straight shooter and offering advise on how to go about this. After he conducted the inspection, he provided me with an in-depth report, which provided me with the information I needed to make empowered decisions. I will forever be indebted to him and his team for the wonderful care and service.
