- Owners of pre-1980 homes who need asbestos testing before a renovation project.

About this company
Erie Environmental operates out of Port Clinton, Ohio, and covers the Sandusky-to-Toledo corridor and beyond. They handle four environmental hazards — mold, asbestos, radon, and lead — doing both testing and removal for each. They also run a sister company, Erie Restoration, for water and fire damage work. That range makes them a one-stop option for homes with multiple issues, which is common in northern Ohio's older housing stock.
The mold side of the business follows a five-step process: moisture source identification, containment, removal, HEPA filtration, and a prevention plan. They bring in a third-party inspector to test before and after remediation, which adds a layer of independence to their clearance results. They install dehumidifiers as part of crawl space work and sell them directly. On the asbestos side, they handle everything from roof tile abatement to floor tile removal, and several reviews confirm they offer optional third-party air clearance testing.
The company describes itself as an IICRC firm and references OSHA, NESHAPS, and AHERA compliance for radon work. Featured projects on their website include school asbestos abatement jobs in Oak Harbor and Akron, plus interior demolition at Erieview Tower — suggesting they handle commercial-scale work alongside residential jobs.
4.9 stars across 201 Google reviews is unusually strong for a company doing this volume of environmental work. Most reviewers highlight fast scheduling, competitive pricing, and crews who explain the process clearly. The consistency across that many reviews, with only 2 one-star ratings in the last 18 months, points to reliable day-to-day execution.

Service area

The website claims coverage across all of Ohio and all of Michigan, but review evidence concentrates in northern Ohio.
Review consensus
Kyle draws repeated praise for prompt communication and thorough quotes (Raechel Tiffe, Matt Strang). Shane gets named for being knowledgeable and giving honest assessments during inspections (Dyamond Fordham, Rufino Velazquez, Amy Beatty, Mitch Luman). Caleb, Kyler, and Brad earned praise as a field crew for going "above and beyond" on a crawl space job (chase mcgrady). Jordan stood out for not rushing and answering every question during a Norwalk bathroom and crawl space job (Tori Mesenburg). Keilar Foster was highlighted as a strong project coordinator on a kitchen remodel (Dale Kocias). Across the board, reviewers emphasize fast scheduling, competitive pricing, and clean job sites. Multiple reviewers mention crews laying floor protection and cleaning up thoroughly after the work.
2 found across 201 total reviews at 4.9★. Courtney K hired Erie for mold treatment and a ventilation fix. The mold treatment worked initially, but the ventilation solution — a fan installation and baffles — was done improperly according to a subsequent mold company, roofer, and insulator she consulted. Mold returned. Erie declined to fix the issue, citing that "mold is a living organism." The owner's response on this review does not address the complaint — it reads as a leftover reply to the original positive version of the review. Roger Valerio had crawl space encapsulation that started failing after about 15 months. He says Erie uses barrier material 5-10 times thinner than competitors and was told they do not warranty their workmanship. He called, was told someone would follow up, and heard nothing for over 8 months. No owner response was posted.
Both 1-star complaints share a theme: the initial work was completed, but when it failed down the line, the company did not stand behind it. Courtney K was told mold recurrence was not their responsibility; Roger Valerio was promised a callback that never came. This is a narrow pattern — 2 of 201 — but the similarity is worth noting. The owner response rate on recent negatives is 67%, but the one visible response does not engage with the actual complaint, suggesting reputation management rather than active problem resolution.

Erie Environmental delivers consistent results across a high volume of jobs, and the 4.9-star rating across 201 reviews reflects real operational strength. Ask for Shane or Kyle during the estimate phase — reviewers consistently name them as communicative and honest. The risk area is post-completion support: if something goes wrong after the job closes, two recent reviewers found the company unwilling to come back. Get the warranty terms in writing before signing, and confirm what recourse you have if remediation does not hold.
Keep in mind
- Erie does both mold testing and mold removal. That creates a financial incentive to find problems they then get paid to fix. They say they use a third-party inspector for pre- and post-remediation testing, which helps — but ask for the inspector's name and confirm they are truly independent.
- Two recent 1-star reviews describe remediation work that deteriorated within 15 months. One involved crawl space encapsulation with reportedly thin barrier material and no warranty. The other involved a ventilation fix that caused mold to return. In both cases, the company declined to address the follow-up issue.
- Their website claims they serve "All of Ohio and All of Michigan." That is a very large territory for a company based in Port Clinton. Most reviewers are from Erie, Ottawa, and Huron counties, with some from the Cleveland and Toledo metro areas. If you are far from their base, confirm crew availability and whether travel affects pricing.
- The owner response on one updated negative review appears to be a leftover reply from the original positive version — it congratulates the customer on a "safe space" while the review now describes mold returning. This suggests the company is not actively monitoring or updating its review responses.
