SERVPRO of Northwest Genesee County, Fenton, Lapeer, and Grand Blanc

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different things, and it matters that they stay separate. An inspector's job is to find mold and tell you what's there. A remediation company's job is to fix it. When the same business does both, they have a reason to recommend bigger, more expensive fixes - even if you don't need them. That's why industry standards say these should be different companies. In Flint, where humidity runs high and older homes (the median was built in 1955) are prone to moisture problems, getting an honest, unbiased inspection first makes sense. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region.

If you decide you need remediation after your inspection, SERVPRO of Northwest Genesee County, Fenton, Lapeer, and Grand Blanc can handle the work separately. Before you hire any remediation contractor in Flint, verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance. It's also worth asking if they hold IICRC S520 certification, which shows they've been trained to industry standards (Michigan doesn't require a specific mold license, so this credential matters). Get those details in writing before you sign anything.
