What this listing says
Bloomington-area homeowners dealing with water damage who want a single company to handle mitigation, mold remediation, and structural repairs under one insurance claim.
Best for

- Property owners with active insurance claims who want a company experienced in coordinating with adjusters and documenting damage for reimbursement.

- Homeowners who need post-remediation rebuild work like drywall, flooring, or bathroom renovation handled by the same crew.
About this company
Harris Services is a Bloomington, Indiana restoration and cleaning company founded in 2004 by Glenn Harris. Mold remediation is one piece of a much larger operation that includes water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, contents pack-out, home renovations, and several cleaning services. They run 24/7 emergency response and handle both residential and commercial properties across south-central Indiana.
The mold remediation page mentions HEPA filtration for air quality restoration and moisture source correction as part of their process. They also list containment and structural cleaning or replacement of affected materials. Nothing on the website distinguishes their mold approach from a standard restoration company playbook. Their real differentiator is breadth: if water damage caused the mold, they can handle extraction, drying, remediation, and rebuild without subcontracting.
Glenn Harris started in cleaning and restoration over 30 years ago. The company operates from 5123 S Production Drive in Bloomington and has a showroom for kitchen and bath renovations at the same address. They display an IICRC logo on their about page and list involvement with the Boys & Girls Club and local chambers of commerce. The named team includes Justin Belgarde as lead estimator, Devin Roberts as project manager, and Ashley Hawkins as project coordinator.
At 4.6 stars across 119 Google reviews, the rating is solid for a restoration company. The overwhelming majority of reviews are 5-star, and only one negative review appears in the recent 18-month window.

Review consensus
Elias appears in more reviews than any other employee, consistently praised for duct cleaning, carpet cleaning, and upholstery work alongside Carlos. Multiple reviewers mention before-and-after photos as part of the service. Brent also appears frequently across duct, carpet, and dryer vent cleaning jobs. On the restoration side, Devin Roberts draws praise for project management, and Justin Belgarde for handling insurance estimates. Glenn Harris personally helped a homeowner who lost her home to fire without insurance. Several reviewers highlight fast emergency response times, with one noting a 20-minute arrival after a sprinkler head break. Insurance coordination is a recurring theme, with reviewers specifically crediting Harris for correcting insurance company missteps on claim amounts.
1 found across 119 total reviews at 4.6★. One reviewer alleges Harris takes advantage of elderly customers, does not provide estimates before starting work, and left equipment on-site without returning to finish the job. The owner responded that they cannot find the reviewer in their records and suggested the review may target the wrong company. The reviewer insists they have the right business. With only 1 negative in the recent window across 119 total reviews, this reads as an isolated incident, though the elderly-exploitation claim is serious enough to warrant asking about their estimate process before committing.
The field crews (Elias, Carlos, Brent) generate nearly all the named praise, while the single negative review involves an unnamed interaction. This suggests the technician-level work is consistently strong, but the intake or scheduling process may occasionally create gaps. The owner responded to 100% of recent negative reviews, though with a single negative that is a small sample. The response was specific and factual rather than a template deflection.

Harris Services has an unusually deep bench of named, praised technicians for a company with 119 reviews. If you hire them for mold work, ask for a written scope and estimate upfront, and get your testing done by an independent lab. For water-damage-to-mold situations where you want one company to manage the full claim, they have a strong track record of working with insurance adjusters.
Keep in mind
- Harris Services both tests for and remediates mold, which creates a conflict of interest. The company that finds the mold profits from removing it. Consider hiring an independent testing firm for the initial assessment and clearance testing.
- Mold remediation is a small slice of what they do. This is primarily a water damage restoration and cleaning company. If you need a mold-only specialist, their generalist scope may not match your expectations.
- Their service area spans eight cities from Bedford to Greenwood, covering a wide geographic range. Confirm response time and availability for your specific location before booking.
- One recent review alleges lack of upfront estimates and incomplete work. The owner responded that they could not find the reviewer in their system. Ask for a written estimate before any work begins.
