Axium Home Inspections

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different things, and it matters that they stay separate. An inspection identifies whether mold exists, where it is, and what's causing it. Remediation is the cleanup and fix. When the same company does both, they have a reason to find problems - and a financial incentive to recommend expensive solutions. That's a conflict of interest. That's why industry standards say inspectors and remediators should be different businesses. In Denver, where the median home was built in 1970, older properties can be prone to moisture issues. Axium Home Inspections keeps things honest by handling the inspection side only.

If you're concerned about mold in Denver, getting an independent inspection first is the smart move. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200 to $600 in this region. Once you have clear answers about what you're dealing with, you can shop for remediation separately and make sure you're getting fair pricing and honest advice. Before you hire anyone for remediation work, verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance, and ask whether they hold IICRC certification - a real mark of training and accountability.
