SERVPRO of North Shasta, Trinity & Greater Tehama Counties

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and it matters that they're done by different companies. An inspector's job is to find mold, test it, and tell you what you're dealing with. A remediation company's job is to fix it and charge you for the work. When the same company does both, they have a reason to find problems - and to find expensive ones. That's a conflict of interest that industry standards discourage. In Redding, where homes built in 1983 or earlier make up a significant portion of the housing stock, getting an independent inspection first protects you. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region, which is money well spent for clarity.

If you do decide to work with SERVPRO of North Shasta, Trinity & Greater Tehama Counties or any remediation contractor, verify their credentials first. California doesn't have a specific state license just for mold work, but contractors must hold a valid CSLB license. Ask to see proof of their license, their current insurance, and IICRC certification if they claim that expertise. Don't sign anything until you've confirmed these details in writing.
