Let’s Do It Home Inspections, LLC

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different services, and it matters that they stay separate. An inspection identifies whether mold is present, where it's located, and what's causing it. Remediation is the actual removal and fix. When the same company does both, they have an incentive to find problems (and recommend expensive solutions) even when they're minor. That's why industry standards recommend hiring an inspector who only inspects. In Birmingham, where the humid climate creates conditions mold loves, getting an independent assessment protects you from inflated recommendations.

Let's Do It Home Inspections, LLC can give you that independent evaluation. Before you call, verify they perform inspections only and don't offer remediation services. You should also confirm they carry general liability insurance and ask whether their inspectors hold IICRC S520 certification, which is the relevant credential Alabama contractors should have (the state doesn't require a specific mold license). A mold inspection in this region typically costs $200-$600, so get that estimate upfront.
