SERVPRO of Fall River

Fall River's damp climate - averaging 74% relative humidity and 46 inches of rain yearly - combined with the age of most homes here (median construction year 1944) creates ideal conditions for mold problems. When you're worried about mold in your house, it's natural to want someone to inspect and fix it all in one go. That's where you might consider SERVPRO of Fall River, but there's something important to know first: inspectors who also do the remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest, since they profit from finding problems that need fixing.

Before you call any mold inspector in Fall River, including SERVPRO of Fall River, ask whether they also perform remediation work. If they do both inspection and remediation, you're better off getting an independent inspection first - typically $200-$600 in this region - from someone with no financial stake in the outcome. Once you have that unbiased report, you can then hire a separate contractor to handle any cleanup needed. Just verify that whoever you hire is registered with Massachusetts' Office of Consumer Affairs, and look for IICRC S520 certification as a mark of professional training.
