What this listing says
Sandusky-area homeowners dealing with basement or crawlspace mold who want a company that also handles asbestos, duct cleaning, and waterproofing under one roof.
Best for
- Sandusky and Erie County homeowners with basement or crawlspace mold needing same-company remediation and waterproofing.
- Real estate buyers or sellers in Northeast Ohio who need fast turnaround on mold remediation to close a transaction.

- Commercial property managers in the Cleveland-to-Sandusky corridor needing mold or duct cleaning for occupied buildings.
About this company
M.A.D. Cleaning is a Sandusky-based restoration company that covers an unusually wide range of indoor environmental work across Northeast Ohio. Owner Denando Dante runs crews from Erie County through the Cleveland metro, handling mold remediation, water damage, asbestos abatement, duct cleaning, and crawlspace encapsulation. They also take on biohazard cleanup and interior/exterior waterproofing. The company serves both residential and commercial clients, with multiple Google reviews referencing work done for real estate transactions and at least one church.
What stands out is the breadth of services under one company. Most mold remediators subcontract asbestos or waterproofing work. M.A.D. Cleaning handles all of it in-house, which can simplify projects where mold and moisture problems overlap. They guarantee their remediation work according to their website, and at least one recent reviewer shared post-remediation air quality numbers showing a drop from over 10,000 airborne particles to under 100.
Denando Dante appears throughout reviews dating back to 2015, consistently named as hands-on and communicative. The company is a member of the Indoor Air Quality Association, NAMRI, the Erie County Home Builders Association, and carries a BBB listing. Their Sandusky headquarters has a toll-free line (855-MAD-MOLD) and a separate Cleveland phone number, suggesting they actively maintain two service hubs.
At 4.7 stars across 62 Google reviews with no negative reviews in the past 18 months, M.A.D. Cleaning has a notably clean record. The volume is modest, but the consistency is unusual for a restoration company covering this many service categories.

0 found across 62 total reviews at 4.7★. No complaints found in the recent window. The company has zero 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star reviews in the last 18 months across 62 total reviews at 4.7 stars.
The review timeline shows a cluster of activity from 2017 through mid-2021, then a sharp dropoff. Only two reviews have been posted since late 2021. This could mean slower business volume, a shift away from residential work, or simply fewer customers leaving reviews. The absence of negatives is a positive signal, but the thin recent volume means less data to assess current performance.

Keep in mind
- M.A.D. Cleaning does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the company identifying your problem is the same one quoting you to fix it. Ask whether they use a third-party lab for testing or if you can bring in an independent inspector.
- Their service area stretches from Sandusky to Cleveland and beyond — roughly 60 miles. Confirm scheduling and travel fees for jobs at the edges of that range.
- The website markets heavily under "Cleveland mold inspection" but the physical office is in Sandusky. Make sure you understand which location your crew will dispatch from.
- Most reviews are from 2017-2021. Only two reviews appear from 2024-2025. The company may still be active and strong, but recent firsthand accounts are limited.
