True North Restoration of Savannah

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and here's why it matters: an inspector's job is to find mold and report what they see, while a remediator's job is to fix the problem. When the same company does both, they have a financial reason to recommend expensive remediation work, even if it's not necessary. That conflict of interest is why industry standards say these should be separate. In Savannah, where humidity averages 77% and rain is common, mold is a real concern for homeowners - especially in older houses like many of the ones built around 1969 that still stand here today.

If you're getting a mold inspection in Savannah, make sure you're working with an inspector who doesn't also do remediation. True North Restoration of Savannah can give you an honest assessment without that built-in conflict. A standalone inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Before you hire anyone, verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance, and ask whether they hold IICRC S520 certification - that's the standard to look for when Georgia doesn't require a specific mold license.
