SERVPRO of North Central Tazewell County, Galesburg, and Macomb

Before hiring anyone to inspect for mold in Peoria, check three things: verify they hold IICRC S520 certification and general liability insurance, confirm their actual credentials independently rather than taking their word for it, and understand that Illinois doesn't require a specific mold remediation license. It's also worth knowing that Peoria's climate - with 69% average humidity and 36 inches of rain yearly - creates conditions where mold can develop, especially in homes like many here built around 1966. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region.

One important consideration: inspectors who also perform remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest, since they profit from finding problems. SERVPRO of North Central Tazewell County, Galesburg, and Macomb is listed as a mold inspector in Peoria, so it's worth asking whether they also do remediation work. Before you sign any agreement, ask them directly if they perform both inspection and remediation, and if so, consider getting a second opinion from an independent inspector.
