Majeske Home Inspection Services

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't be done by the same company. An inspector identifies where mold exists and what's causing it, while a remediation contractor removes it. When one company does both, they have an incentive to recommend expensive fixes you might not actually need. That's why industry standards say these roles need to stay separate. Lansing's humid climate - averaging 70% relative humidity and 32 inches of rain yearly - creates conditions where mold thrives, especially in older homes like the median Lansing residence built in 1960. Majeske Home Inspection Services keeps things honest by handling the inspection side only, which means you get an unbiased assessment of what you're dealing with.

Once you have Majeske Home Inspection Services' report in hand, you'll know exactly what needs attention. From there, you can shop around for remediation contractors independently. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200 to $600 in this region, so it's a reasonable first step. Before you hire anyone for remediation work, verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance, and ask whether they hold IICRC S520 certification - that's the recognized standard in the industry.
