SERVPRO of Boise

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't be done by the same company. An inspector's job is to find mold, test it, and tell you what's there. A remediation company's job is to remove it and charge you for the work. When one company does both, they have a financial reason to find more mold or recommend more work than you actually need. That's a conflict of interest that industry standards warn against. In Meridian, where homes built around 2005 are common and moisture can linger with 52% average humidity, getting an unbiased inspection first makes sense before deciding on remediation.

If you need mold testing in Meridian, consider hiring an independent inspector rather than a remediation company. SERVPRO of Boise is listed as a mold inspector in your area, but before you call, verify whether they also do remediation work. If they do both, you'd be better served by a standalone inspection company that can give you honest findings. A typical mold inspection in this region costs between $200 and $600. Before hiring anyone, ask to see their IICRC S520 certification and confirm they carry appropriate insurance for the work they're proposing.
