Integrity Inspection Group

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't be done by the same company. An inspector's job is to find mold and tell you what's there, while a remediation contractor fixes the problem. When one company does both, they have a reason to find more mold than necessary, which means higher bills for you. That's why it matters to keep these services separate. In Ann Arbor, where humidity runs high and older homes (the median was built in 1971) are common, mold inspections are a smart precaution. A standalone inspection typically costs $200-$600 and gives you honest information to work with.

When you're ready to call Integrity Inspection Group or another inspector, make sure they're only inspecting, not also selling you remediation work. If you do need remediation later, hire a separate contractor. Look for someone with IICRC S520 certification and verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance, since Michigan doesn't require a specific mold remediation license. Before you sign anything, ask the contractor to clearly explain why they have these credentials and what their insurance covers.
