Mold testing is not required for most homeowners, but it can be a great tool to help us understand the severity of any issues, locate hidden mold, and better track the results after remediation if it fits your budget/preference.
However, for high-liability situations, larger commercial projects, landlord disputes, etc. we highly recommend mold testing for liability reasons.
Mold laws vary from state to state, & we recommend you do your own due diligence , but generally:
• Renters have the right to clean habitable living space
• Any act of negligence that risks putting someone else in harm is a major factor in lawsuits as you would expect. (Ex. Painting over mold, not hiring a professional, not disclosing issues, etc.)
• You must disclose known issues when selling a property
Mold removal can vary greatly in cost depending on a variety of factors including severity, size, scope, liability, quality, time, labor materials, and so on. Due to these high number of factors we always recommend that you never hire a mold removal contractor without them prior coming out to your property. We offer free estimates for property owners which you can schedule here.
The mold remediation industry is still unregulated for the most part and scams are common. We highly recommend that you hire a reputable company that specializes specifically in mold with extensive knowledge in the field.
Mold Treatments-Mold is toxic dead or alive. It's impossible to just "spray" it away like many "certified" companies claim. On average, we get 10+ calls a month from customers who hired a different mold remediation company that "treated" their mold problem by "spraying it", and how they are now either sick or need us to come in and clean up their mess. It's essential that you physically remove it from your property following industry guidelines. The "spray" part is just one of the many steps of actual mold remediation. Be very cautious of these "spray" companies.
Mold remediation is more about protecting your health. The concept is that by minimizing mold, bacteria, and viruses on your air and surfaces.
