What this listing says
Charleston-area homeowners dealing with mold, water damage, or asbestos in older homes who want a locally owned firm that also handles crawl space encapsulation and full reconstruction.
Best for
- Homeowners in Charleston, Summerville, Goose Creek, and Mount Pleasant who need mold remediation combined with crawl space work or structural repairs.
- Sellers who need fast CL100 clearance or mold remediation to close a real estate transaction on deadline.
- Property owners with overlapping hazards — mold plus asbestos or lead paint — who want one contractor handling both rather than coordinating multiple companies.
- Commercial property managers needing a restoration subcontractor for overflow jobs or large-loss events across the Southeast.
- Homeowners navigating insurance claims after water or fire damage who want the contractor to handle adjuster communication directly.
About this company
EAS Environmental operates out of Summerville, SC, serving the greater Charleston metro and much of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Owner Evan Stahl runs the company as a full-service environmental and disaster restoration firm — not just mold, but asbestos abatement, lead abatement, water damage, fire damage, and demolition. They also subcontract for other restoration companies on overflow and large-loss jobs.
What sets them apart from a typical mold company is their environmental hazmat background. They handle asbestos, lead paint, mercury, PCBs, and contaminated soil — work that requires specific state licensing through South Carolina's Labor, Licensing and Regulation board. For mold jobs, they do testing, remediation, and the rebuild afterward, including crawl space encapsulation, dehumidifier installation, and structural drying. They also offer ice blasting and sand blasting for surface preparation.
The company is locally owned and actively involved in the Charleston community, including monetary support for the Fisher House of Charleston through the BFG Classic charity event. Spencer Turner handles many of the front-line inspections and customer communication, while Evan Stahl manages insurance negotiations and larger projects. Reviews mention Scott, Katie, Derek, Justin, Garrett, and Thomas Hogue as field team members.
159 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 stars with zero complaints in the last 18 months is unusual for any restoration company. Reviewers consistently cite same-day or next-day response, willingness to answer calls after hours (including a 10 PM Saturday call about potential asbestos), and proactive insurance advocacy. Multiple reviewers describe EAS handling their entire insurance claim process from adjuster negotiations through final repairs.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Summerville, SC (Dorchester County). Core service area covers the Charleston tri-county region: Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties, including North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Goose Creek, Summerville, and Daniel Island. Extended coverage spans much of South Carolina — Beaufort, Horry, Florence, Greenville, and Spartanburg counties among others — and parts of Georgia including Chatham County (Savannah), Columbia County (Evans, Martinez), and Augusta. The claimed footprint is unusually large for a locally owned company, so response times outside the Charleston metro should be confirmed.
Review consensus
Spencer Turner is the most frequently named staff member across the reviews. Reviewers describe him doing same-day inspections, answering phone calls late at night, walking homeowners through processes, and helping with insurance documentation. Evan Stahl is praised for insurance claim negotiation — multiple reviewers credit him with preventing their insurer from underpaying. Derek, Justin, and Garrett are named for field work and project delivery. Thomas Hogue is praised for crawling into difficult crawl spaces. Scott and Katie are noted for demolition work. Reviewers consistently highlight after-hours availability, clear communication during stressful situations, and willingness to take on complicated multi-trade projects (mold plus HVAC, asbestos plus renovation). Several commercial clients and other restoration companies confirm EAS as a reliable subcontractor.
0 found across 159 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. (0 found across 159 total reviews at 5.0★)
A perfect 5.0 across 159 reviews is statistically uncommon. The review base includes a mix of Local Guides with high review counts and single-review accounts, which suggests organic distribution rather than coordinated posting. Several reviews come from other business owners (a roofing company owner, commercial property managers) and describe subcontracting relationships, which adds credibility. The company appears to generate many reviews from real estate transaction-related work — sellers needing fast mold clearance, buyers discovering issues during inspection — which may explain the high satisfaction rate, since these are time-sensitive jobs where speed and follow-through matter most.
Spencer Turner (inspections, customer communication, after-hours availability — overwhelmingly positive). Evan Stahl (owner, insurance negotiation, project management — overwhelmingly positive). Derek (field work, project delivery — positive). Justin (field work — positive). Garrett (field work — positive). Scott (demolition — positive). Katie (demolition — positive). Thomas Hogue (crawl space work — positive).
Ask for Spencer for the initial inspection and Evan if your project involves an insurance claim. Given the perfect review record, the main risk is scope — confirm that your specific job gets dedicated attention rather than being folded into a larger multi-trade project. Request a third-party mold test if you want an independent assessment before committing to remediation.
Keep in mind
- EAS does both mold testing and mold remediation. When the same company tests and remediates, they have a financial incentive to find problems. Ask whether they will accept a third-party test result or require their own.
- Their claimed service area spans most of South Carolina and into Georgia — from Myrtle Beach to Greenville to Savannah. That is a massive geography for a locally owned company based in Summerville. Confirm travel fees and response times for locations more than an hour from the Charleston area.
- The website lists dozens of service categories including demolition, media blasting, hazardous chemical removal, and full reconstruction. Breadth like this can mean the mold work is one piece of a larger operation, not their sole focus.
- With 159 reviews and a perfect 5.0, the absence of any negative feedback makes it hard to gauge how EAS handles problems. You have no complaints to reference when setting expectations.
