Advanced Mold Testing and Remediation Services

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and here's why it matters: an inspector's job is to find mold and tell you what's there, while a remediation company's job is to fix it. When the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend more work than you might actually need. That conflict of interest is why industry standards recommend keeping these services separate. Boston's humid climate - averaging 73% relative humidity and 44 inches of rain annually - creates ideal conditions for mold growth, especially in older homes like the median Boston house built in 1943. That's exactly why getting an unbiased inspection first makes sense.

Advanced Mold Testing and Remediation Services is listed as a mold inspector in Boston, but before you call, understand what you're getting. If they're offering to both inspect and remediate, you'll want to get a separate inspection from an independent mold inspector first (typically $200-$600 in this region). If you do decide to work with them for remediation, verify they have IICRC S520 certification and confirm they're registered with Massachusetts' Office of Consumer Affairs as a home improvement contractor - that's your basic consumer protection in the state.
