About this company
FDP Mold Remediation of Silver Spring is the Montgomery County outpost of a national mold remediation chain operating across DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Florida, and Texas. The parent company is Green Cleaning Systems, Inc. Their dispatch point is on Georgia Ave in Silver Spring, and they serve both residential and commercial properties. They are open seven days a week.
The company holds IICRC certification for mold remediation and water damage restoration. Their website describes a multi-step process: inspection with moisture meters and infrared cameras, containment with polyethylene sheeting under negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, removal of contaminated porous materials, antimicrobial treatment, and post-remediation evaluation. They also handle reconstruction through licensed general contractors, which means you can get the full job done without coordinating multiple vendors. Inspections are priced at a maximum of $149, credited toward remediation if you hire them.
The company has been operating since at least 2005 based on their copyright dates. Jacob Smith, listed as an author on their technical guides, is described as having over twenty years of experience in the field. The company publishes case studies and a detailed remediation guide, which suggests they invest in content and education alongside fieldwork.
A 5.0-star rating across 48 Google reviews is unusual. No company this size avoids all negative feedback organically, and the review volume is modest enough that a handful of removed or unreported negatives could shift the picture. That said, the reviews themselves name specific technicians and describe real job details, which suggests genuine customer satisfaction rather than fabricated reviews.

Review consensus
Alex (also referred to as Alex Cruz) is the most frequently named technician, appearing in at least seven reviews spanning 2022 through 2026.

Sean, Jose, Allen, Todd, TJ, Ismael, Xavier, Francisco, and Zach each appear in individual reviews with positive mentions.

0 found across 48 total reviews at 5.0★. (0 found across 48 total reviews at 5.0 stars) No negative reviews exist in the last 18 months. With 48 total reviews and a perfect 5.0-star rating dating back to 2019, there is no complaint data to analyze.
The absence of any negative reviews across seven years of operation is itself a pattern worth noting. Most active mold remediation companies accumulate at least a few complaints around pricing, scheduling, or scope disagreements. The reviews are spread across many named technicians and describe specific job details, which argues against wholesale fabrication. But the perfect record may also reflect active reputation management. Buyers should weigh the review profile accordingly.

Keep in mind
- FDP does both mold testing and mold remediation. A company that tests for mold and then sells you the remediation has a financial incentive to find problems. Consider getting an independent test from a separate inspector before committing to their remediation scope.
- This is a national franchise, not a local owner-operator. Your experience may depend heavily on which technician is assigned. Reviews name many different techs, and quality seems consistent, but the business model means less continuity than a small local shop.
- The 5.0-star rating across 48 reviews is statistically improbable for a company operating since 2005. Take the perfect score with some skepticism and ask for references from recent local jobs similar to yours.
- Their service area spans from the DC metro to Miami, Dallas, and the Bronx. For the Silver Spring location specifically, confirm that your address is within their primary dispatch range and not on the edge of their coverage.
