Power Wash Services, Inc.

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and there's a good reason they shouldn't come from the same company. An inspector's job is to identify mold, test it, and give you an unbiased report. A remediation company's job is to fix the problem and charge you for the work. When one company does both, they have an incentive to find more mold and recommend more expensive fixes, even if they're not necessary. That conflict of interest is why industry standards keep these services separate. In Bloomington, where homes built in 1981 and earlier are common, mold can be a real concern - especially with our humid climate and regular rainfall.

Power Wash Services, Inc. is listed as a mold inspector in Bloomington, so you'll want to verify their credentials before booking. In Illinois, there's no specific state license required for mold work, but reputable inspectors hold IICRC S520 certification and carry general liability insurance. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Before you sign any agreement, ask to see their certifications and insurance documentation yourself, and make sure you understand whether they do remediation work as well - which would be a red flag for an inspector you want to trust.
