Advanced Mold Testing and Remediation Services

Call about one patch of mold and you get the whole basement. A homeowner who found something suspicious in July 2026 had Storm out to quote within a few days, and he went through the entire space instead of the one corner. That thoroughness is what customers keep describing about Advanced Mold Testing and Remediation Services, a Dracut company that inspects, air-tests and removes mold across Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, sending samples to the EMSL laboratory in Woburn. Vance DeVincent owns it with Deborah DeVincent, and the BBB files it as a sole proprietorship with eight employees, accredited since 2017 and graded A+. Customers name the people who showed up: Vance and Storm on inspections, Derek Boucher overseeing a big basement job in 2024, Brian walking a homeowner through his findings that same year. The estimating is where this company pulls ahead. In October 2025 a homeowner compared its quote against two or three others and got a day-by-day plan with the cost of each stage spelled out — day one removal, day two protective sealer. In January 2026 another described Vance assessing not just the mold but the water causing it and how to keep it from coming back. Inspections cost nothing, as a 2023 caller with a laundry-room smell found out, and in another 2023 visit the crew looked at a crawl space and told the owner there was no mold there at all. The work moves fast once booked: a 2024 customer got an inspection within a week of calling and had the removal done two weeks later, and another that year had a 20-minute consultation and a couple of hours of remediation. One account runs the other way. In August 2023 a reviewer wrote that the inspector spent 20 minutes, called the mold on their walls dust and denied black mold that another company later tested for, and objected on principle to one firm both testing and remediating. A second thing to square: the company's site says it has served the region since 1993, while its BBB file records the business as starting in 2006. For attic, basement or post-leak mold — particularly when you want the source found rather than the surface wiped down — this is a straightforward call. Ask what the warranty covers; the BBB file describes re-remediation at no extra charge if mold returns on cleaned and sealed material. And if the result has to stand up in a sale or a dispute, decide whether you want the testing done by someone other than the company doing the removal.
