About this company
PuroClean of East Bridgeport is a PuroClean franchise based in Milford, Connecticut, owned by Pedro and Lourdes Espada. The franchise covers Bridgeport, Stratford, Milford, Shelton, Orange, West Haven, and Woodmont. Mold remediation is one of four core services alongside water damage restoration, fire and smoke cleanup, and biohazard work.
The mold page describes a specific remediation process: containment with negative air pressure using HEPA filtration, removal of contaminated materials, surface cleaning with EPA-registered disinfectants, and HEPA vacuuming. The company recommends a third-party clearance test by a Certified Industrial Hygienist after remediation, which is a good sign since they do not do their own testing. They also mention using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and infrared cameras to detect hidden moisture. For fire jobs, they use ozone generators and hydroxyl generators for odor removal.
Pedro and Lourdes run the business directly, with Cristian Mocete as general manager. Cristian holds a B.A. from Southern Connecticut State University and previously coached youth football in Fairfield. Multiple reviewers describe working directly with Pedro and Cristian on-site, which suggests hands-on ownership rather than a delegated operation.
The company holds a perfect 5.0 stars across 30 Google reviews. That is unusual. With no negative reviews at all, the sample is entirely positive, which makes it hard to identify weak spots. The review volume is still relatively low for a restoration company, so this rating will be tested as volume grows.

The review profile shows a young franchise building its reputation quickly. All 30 reviews arrived within roughly 10 months (August 2025 to June 2026), and every single one is 5 stars. Several reviewers mention insurance agents or public adjusters recommending PuroClean, which suggests the company has built referral relationships with insurance industry contacts. Claims For You LLC, a public adjusting firm, left a 5-star review calling PuroClean a reliable resource. William Jackson identified himself as an environmental consultant who partners with the company. This referral-heavy pattern is common for newer franchises building volume through industry relationships.
Pedro Espada (owner — praised repeatedly for responsiveness, detail, and hands-on involvement). Lourdes Espada (co-owner — praised for punctuality and fair quoting). Cristian Mocete / Chris / Cris (general manager — praised for on-site project management, mold work, and water cleanup). Juan (technician — mentioned once by name for communication during a water damage job).
This is a new franchise with a spotless but short review history. Pedro and Cristian show up on job sites and communicate directly with customers, which reviewers value. Ask Pedro who will manage your specific project, request references from mold jobs similar in scope to yours, and confirm whether your post-remediation clearance test will be done by an independent hygienist.

- The service area spans eight towns across Fairfield and New Haven counties. Confirm response time to your specific location before booking, especially during storm season.
- Zero negative reviews across 30 total means you have no customer complaints to learn from. Ask for references from jobs similar to yours.
