SERVPRO of Downtown and South Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge's humid subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for mold growth. With average humidity around 76% and over 63 inches of rain annually, combined with many homes built in the 1970s, mold problems are common in older houses throughout Baton Rouge. If you suspect mold, getting a professional inspection is a smart first step. SERVPRO of Downtown and South Baton Rouge offers mold inspection services, and you'll likely pay between $200 and $600 for a standalone inspection in this region.

Before you hire any inspector, it's worth knowing that industry standards flag a potential conflict of interest when the same company both inspects for mold and performs remediation work. They have financial incentive to find problems. To protect yourself, verify that whoever you hire holds proper credentials. If remediation becomes necessary, make sure any contractor you choose is licensed by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) - you can check this at arlspublic.lslbc.louisiana.gov. Ask upfront whether your inspector also does remediation work, and consider getting a second opinion if they recommend extensive treatment.
