About this company
NuTech Mold & Water is an owner-operated restoration company based in Suwanee, Georgia, serving the greater Atlanta area. What sets them apart from larger franchises: founder Mark Stowers came from the property insurance industry, where he handled damage claims and served as an arbiter for the American Arbitration Association. He started NuTech in 2006 specifically because he saw how contractors misled homeowners about mold.
Their water damage work uses what they call a Restorative Drying Method — instead of tearing out wet materials immediately, they bring in large-capacity dehumidifiers and monitoring equipment to dry structures in place when possible. They offer mold testing, remediation, waterproofing, and crawl space encapsulation, with warranties up to 25 years on mold removal work. They also offer financing.
NuTech has built a deep referral pipeline with Atlanta-area real estate agents. Multiple realtors in their reviews describe using them repeatedly for inspection-related mold issues, and several mention same-day or next-day response times. The company lists a staff of consultants, inspectors, and team leads on their website, suggesting enough headcount to handle concurrent jobs.
4.9 stars across 67 Google reviews with zero negative reviews in the last 18 months is unusually clean. The volume is modest, but the consistency and the number of repeat reviewers — particularly realtors who use them on multiple transactions — suggests genuine satisfaction rather than review solicitation.
Services
Service area
NuTech is headquartered in Suwanee, Georgia, northeast of Atlanta. Their website claims to serve residents 'all over Georgia,' but their reviews and marketing concentrate on metro Atlanta. Cities mentioned in reviews include Roswell. Confirm availability if your property is outside the I-285 perimeter or further suburbs.
Review consensus
Chris Kaveney is the most frequently named person across reviews, praised by realtors and homeowners for honest assessments, no-pressure sales, and willingness to spend time explaining findings. Thor draws consistent recent praise for clear explanations and quality field work. Tyler and Josh are named for inspection work and responsiveness. Carol is mentioned as a thorough office administrator. Multiple realtors — Misty Robertson, Terri Willett, Peggy Connors, Nina Rose, Diane Hegeman — describe using NuTech repeatedly across transactions, citing same-day responses and on-time completion for closings.

0 found across 67 total reviews at 4.9★. No 1-star or negative reviews found in the last 18 months.
The realtor referral pipeline is unusually strong. At least ten reviewers identify themselves as real estate agents or reference a real estate transaction. This suggests NuTech has positioned itself as a transaction-support vendor — fast turnaround, clear documentation, pricing that does not kill deals. The risk for a homeowner is that a company optimized for closing-deadline speed may prioritize throughput over the most cautious approach.
Chris Kaveney (sales and consulting — repeatedly praised for honesty, no-upsell approach, and patience explaining findings). Thor (field consultant — praised for clear process explanations and quality results in 2025-2026 reviews). Tyler Clements (inspector/consultant — praised for responsiveness and field work). Josh Hyndshaw (inspector — praised for being detail-oriented and helpful). Carol (office admin — noted for thoroughness). Mark Stowers (owner/founder — praised for detailed explanations in earlier reviews). Lance (technician — praised alongside Chris in one review). Kelsea (technician — praised for mold remediation and vapor barrier work). Isaiah (technician — praised for mold remediation work).
NuTech's review record is unusually strong, with no recent negatives and a clear pattern of realtor repeat business. Ask for Chris or Thor by name. Because they handle both testing and remediation, get a second opinion on testing results if the recommended scope of work is large or expensive.
Keep in mind
- NuTech does both mold testing and mold remediation, which creates a conflict of interest — the company assessing whether you have a problem is the same one that profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent test before committing to remediation.
- Their address is a suite in Suwanee, not a storefront. They claim to serve 'all over Georgia,' but their reviews and website focus on metro Atlanta. If you are outside that area, confirm they will actually come to you.
- The website mentions warranties of 'up to 10 years' on one page and 'up to 25 years' on another. Ask for the specific warranty terms in writing before signing.
- With 67 reviews and no negatives in 18 months, the sample is small enough that the absence of complaints may reflect low volume rather than flawless execution.
