SERVPRO of South Shreveport, Bossier

Before hiring anyone to inspect or treat mold in Shreveport, check three things: whether they're licensed as a mold remediation specialist with the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (you can verify at arlspublic.lslbc.louisiana.gov), whether they have solid reviews from past customers, and whether they're acting as an independent inspector or also doing the remediation work. That last point matters because inspectors who also perform the cleanup have a financial incentive to find problems, which creates a conflict of interest. Given Shreveport's humid climate - we average 71% relative humidity and 51 inches of rain yearly - mold issues aren't uncommon, especially in older homes like many of ours built around 1973.

SERVPRO of South Shreveport, Bossier is listed as a mold inspector in the area, so before you call, ask them directly whether they offer only inspection services or if they also do remediation work. If they do both, consider getting a second opinion from an independent inspector who won't profit from treating whatever they find. A standalone inspection typically runs $200 to $600 in this region. Get everything in writing before anyone enters your home, and make sure you understand what you're paying for and who exactly will be doing the work.
