Metro Water Damage Restoration Rochester

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and here's why it matters: an inspector's job is to find and document mold objectively, while a remediation contractor's job is to remove it. When the same company does both, they have an incentive to find more mold so they can sell you more cleanup work. That's a conflict of interest. In Rochester Hills, where humidity averages 71% and older homes (the median was built in 1983) are common, mold problems do happen. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200 to $600 and gives you an unbiased picture of what you're dealing with.

Once you know what you're facing, you can hire a separate contractor to handle remediation if needed. If you're considering Metro Water Damage Restoration Rochester for water damage work in Rochester Hills, make sure you understand what services they're actually providing and whether they're inspecting, remediating, or both. Before you sign anything, verify that any contractor you hire carries both general liability and pollution liability insurance, and ask to see proof of IICRC S520 certification if they're handling mold remediation.
