SERVPRO of Birmingham

Mold inspections in Birmingham typically cost between $200 and $600, with the price depending mainly on your home's size and how accessible the areas are that need checking. Birmingham's humid climate - averaging 71% relative humidity and 54 inches of rain yearly - means older homes like many built around 1965 are especially prone to moisture problems. When you're looking for someone to inspect your property, it's worth knowing that Alabama doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so you'll want to verify any contractor has IICRC S520 certification and current general liability insurance.

Here's something important to consider: inspectors who also perform the mold remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest. They're motivated to find problems that require their services, which can lead to unnecessary work. If you call SERVPRO of Birmingham for an inspection, ask upfront whether they also do remediation, and if so, get a second opinion from an independent inspector before moving forward with any treatment plan. That extra step protects you and gives you confidence in whatever decision you make.
