About this company
FDP Mold Remediation of Potomac is a branch of a multi-state mold remediation company operating under Green Cleaning Systems, Inc. They dispatch from Montrose Rd in Potomac and focus on mold remediation, testing, and water damage restoration for homes and commercial properties throughout Montgomery County.
They handle the full sequence in-house: inspection, testing, containment with negative air pressure, HEPA-filtered air scrubbing, material removal, antimicrobial treatment, drying, and reconstruction by their own contractors. Their website describes both limited containment (10-100 sq ft) and full containment (100+ sq ft) setups, which suggests they handle a range of project sizes. They charge a maximum of $149 for an on-site inspection, and they deduct that cost if you hire them for remediation.
FDP has been operating since at least 2005 and runs locations across the DC metro area, Baltimore, North Jersey, South Florida, Dallas, and New York. The Potomac location serves neighborhoods like Avenel, River Falls, Fox Hills, Great Falls, Cabin John, and Travilah, with nearby branches in Bethesda, Rockville, Silver Spring, and Arlington.
4.9 stars across 53 Google reviews with zero negative reviews in the last 18 months is an unusually clean record. Most of the text-bearing reviews name specific technicians and mention punctuality and clear communication.

0 found across 53 total reviews at 4.9★. No one-star reviews exist across 53 total reviews at 4.9 stars. The only negative signal in the entire review set is Kevin Rosendall's 5-star review noting scheduling difficulties during the holidays that required extra visits. Claire Neely's 4-star review mentions one rescheduling due to circumstances outside the company's control.
Roughly half of the 53 reviews contain no text at all, just a star rating. The reviews with text consistently name individual technicians and praise punctuality and communication. No owner responses are present on negative reviews because none exist in the 18-month window. The technician roster across reviews (Alex, Jose, Albert, Allen, Abraham, Todd, TJ, Ismael, Xavier, Deshawn, Mel) suggests a sizable team rotating through the DC-metro service area.
Alex (technician — positive, most frequently named across 10+ reviews for punctuality and clarity), Jose (technician — positive, praised for fast mold removal and drywall cutting), Albert (technician — positive, noted as knowledgeable), Allen (technician — positive, praised for explaining scope), Abraham/Abe (technician — positive, praised for fast diagnosis and service), Todd (technician — positive, mentioned by Bibiana Gonzalez), TJ (technician — positive, mentioned alongside Todd), Ismael (technician — positive, praised by Craig Barrett as prompt and informative), Xavier (technician — positive, praised by reb pa for punctuality and technique), Deshawn (technician — positive, praised by annie for COVID protocols and timeliness), Mel (technician — positive, praised by Dé J for same-day car water extraction).
With zero negative reviews in 18 months and a 4.9-star average, the review record gives you little to worry about. Ask for Alex or Jose if you want the technicians reviewers mention most. Since they handle both testing and remediation, get a second opinion on the test results before committing to a large remediation scope.
Keep in mind
- They do both testing and remediation, which creates a conflict of interest. A company that tests for mold and then sells the remediation has a financial incentive to find problems. Consider getting an independent test from a separate lab or inspector.
- FDP is a multi-state franchise-style operation, not a locally-owned Potomac business. The Potomac location is a dispatch point, not a physical office you can walk into.
- Their service area spans multiple states from New Jersey to Florida. The technician who shows up at your Potomac home may rotate across the broader DC-metro territory.
- Many reviews (roughly half) are 5-star ratings with no text, which limits how much you can learn about actual project experiences from the review profile.
- Their website does not mention third-party clearance testing. Post-remediation verification is offered as a visual review, not independent lab confirmation.
