Mold Removal Companies

Whether minor or serious, mold in your home is a problem and one that you shouldn’t have to deal with alone. And while not all molds are harmful like black mold, some cities require homeowners to hire a professional to remove the mold.

If that is your case, you should check with your city to found out if they have a list of recommended
mold removal companies. If not, you’ll need to do a little research and hire one on your own.

The company you hire should be certified and insured. They should do a visual examination of your home and HVAC system to check for any visible water damage mold and other moisture problems. They should also perform a surface test and air-sampling test to analyze the specific molds in your home.

Once testing is done, the company should then recommend what actions you need to take and offer an estimate for clean up. Keep in mind however, that while some mold removal companies will both test and clean up your home, some do not. If this is the case, you’ll need to hire a separate company to do the actual clean up work.
