Mold Infestations - How to Find an Honest Mold Inspection Company?

Do you have flu-like symptoms, congestion, cough or are your allergies acting up more than usual? Has there been a flood in your home or condo recently. You might be having symptoms due to mold infestation in some part of your home. If you are allergic to mold, your symptoms could be worse when there is a mold infestation in your home or condo. It is important that you get to the bottom of the problem immediately. I have several clients who hire me to do an annual moisture intrusion testing to spot the first sign of mold damage.

If your one of those consumers who keeps checking for the best price on mold inspections, guess what? You are ripe for the pickings of dishonest microbial inspection companies. Remember, you get what you pay for. Nothing in life is free except a free mold inspection to set you up for being ripped off. If you see an ad for these free mold inspections, run for the hills because they are out to take your money somehow.

Recently, one of my clients called me to inquire about a proposal they received from a well known water extraction company that wanted to do microbial remediation in their home. By the way, it was a free estimate. The estimated cost was $14,000. and they said they would work with their insurance company. The client wanted me to evaluate the home to see how much damage there really was. After the inspection was done, the cost dropped by 50% because of errors made by this company. Remember, you get what you pay for in the mold infestation business.

In conclusion, find a licensed and certified Mold Inspector who has been in business more than 5 years. This generally means that this company is honest because they are still in business. Anyone inspecting your home should carry at least a $1,000,000 in Insurance coverage. No insurance, tell them to hit the road. Also, make them show you proof of insurance. This is what is required by the State of Florida where we have a high rate of mold infestations.
