Drytech

A 4.9-star rating across 237 Google reviews tells you that Drytech has satisfied a lot of customers, but it doesn't tell you whether they're the right fit for your specific situation. What matters more is understanding what you actually need. Birmingham's climate - averaging 71% relative humidity and 54 inches of rain annually - creates real conditions for mold growth, especially in older homes like the median Birmingham house built in 1965. If you suspect mold, you'll need an inspection first, which typically costs $200-$600 in this region.

Here's the thing to know before you call Drytech or any mold inspector in Birmingham: companies that both inspect and perform remediation have a built-in conflict of interest. They profit from finding problems, which can skew their recommendations. Before you sign anything, verify that whoever inspects your home carries IICRC S520 certification and general liability insurance. Ask them directly about their inspection process and whether they'll provide a written report you can take to other contractors for a second opinion if needed.
