SERVPRO of Hawthorne/Lawndale

Before hiring anyone to inspect for mold in Hawthorne, check three things: verify they hold a valid Contractor's State License Board license, confirm their insurance coverage, and ask whether they also perform remediation work. That last point matters because inspectors who do both jobs have a financial incentive to find problems, which creates a conflict of interest. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Given Hawthorne's humidity levels and older housing stock (the median home was built in 1971), mold can be a real concern, so you'll want an inspector you can trust to give you honest findings.

SERVPRO of Hawthorne/Lawndale is listed as a mold inspector in Hawthorne, but before you call, ask them directly whether they also perform remediation. If they do both, consider getting a separate, independent inspection from someone who only inspects. You should also verify their IICRC certification and request proof of insurance before they step foot in your home. Getting a second opinion costs money upfront but protects you from bias and gives you confidence in whatever decision you make next.
