About this company

Household Environmental is a family-owned environmental firm based in Derry, NH, run by Victor Draghi as president and his son Jack Draghi as general manager. Their scope is unusually broad: mold testing and remediation, water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, radon testing and mitigation, water quality treatment, biohazard cleanup, and sewage cleanup. They offer 24/7 emergency response and work directly with insurance providers.

What stands out is the range of environmental services under one roof. They handle PFAS water filtration, radon water filtration systems, and new-construction radon installations alongside their mold and restoration work. Their website references IICRC-trained staff, HEPA vacuums, antimicrobial treatments, negative air pressure containment, and dehumidification equipment. They also run dedicated two-person mold remediation crews (Kevin and Ray appear together in dozens of reviews) and separate restoration teams.

The company claims over 35 years of experience and recently expanded with a restoration division. Their about page lists 12 team members by name and role, from project managers to technicians, suggesting a midsized operation rather than a one-truck outfit. They serve Southern New Hampshire and broader New England from their Derry headquarters.

A 5.0-star rating across 286 Google reviews is remarkable. That volume with a perfect score suggests a company that is either very consistent or very attentive to reputation management. The review content is specific and varied enough to appear genuine, with dozens of different staff members named and specific job types described.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Kevin and Ray are the most frequently named team, appearing together in well over a dozen reviews for attic mold remediation. Reviewers consistently describe them as punctual, efficient, and respectful of the home (drop cloths, clean-up). AJ leads the restoration and fire/water damage crews, often working with Cullen, Justin, and Corey. Jack Draghi handles estimates and initial consultations and draws praise for clear explanations, responsiveness, and willingness to answer questions. Jake Couturier manages projects and is praised for follow-through and transparency. Kiana and Kerry in the office are noted for friendly scheduling and communication. Matt Trombly handles radon installations and is described as knowledgeable. Multiple reviewers mention the company came in at a lower price than competitors.

What low reviews reveal

1 found across 286 total reviews at 5.0★. The single recent negative is a 1-star review about unsafe driving by a company vehicle. The reviewer provided no details about location, date, or vehicle. The owner responded asking for more information and offered a direct phone call with Jack. Without specifics, this appears to be a one-off complaint unrelated to the company's actual remediation or restoration work.

Pattern worth noting

The review volume and consistency suggest a well-structured operation. Kevin and Ray operate as a dedicated mold remediation pair, while AJ leads a separate restoration team with Cullen, Justin, and Corey. Jack handles sales and estimates. This division of labor means the person who quotes the job is not the same person who does the work, which is standard for firms this size but worth knowing. The owner response to the single negative was personalized and offered direct contact, not a template deflection.

Named staff

Jack Draghi (general manager, estimates and consultations -- strongly positive across many reviews). Kevin (technician, mold remediation -- strongly positive, most-mentioned crew member). Ray (technician, mold remediation -- strongly positive, consistently paired with Kevin). AJ (technician, restoration and remediation lead -- strongly positive). Cullen (technician, restoration crew -- positive). Justin (technician, restoration crew -- positive). Corey (technician, mold and radon work -- positive). Jake (project manager, inspections and project oversight -- positive). Matt (operations manager, radon installations -- positive). Kiana (office/admin -- positive). Kerry (office manager, scheduling and communication -- positive). Jose (crew member -- positive, single mention).

Bottom line

With 286 reviews and a 5.0 rating, the data strongly favors this company. Ask for Kevin and Ray if you need mold remediation, or AJ for restoration work. The only real caution is the testing-and-remediation conflict of interest -- get a second opinion on the test results if the recommended scope of work feels larger than expected.

Keep in mind

  • They do both mold testing and mold remediation, which is a conflict of interest. The same company that tells you whether you have a mold problem also profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation services.
  • Their service area claim of 'Southern New Hampshire and New England' is broad. Confirm they actually serve your town before scheduling, especially if you are outside the immediate Derry/Londonderry area.
  • Mold is only one part of what they do. They also handle water damage, fire damage, radon, and biohazard work. If you want a firm that focuses exclusively on mold, this is not that.
  • With a perfect 5.0 rating and only 1 negative review in 286, there is little negative data to assess. The single complaint was about vehicle driving, not service quality.
