Healthy Homes, Inc. & Asbestos Removal Technologies, Inc.

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 identify what's causing it. A remediation company fixes the problem. When the same business does both, there's a built-in conflict of interest - they have financial incentive to recommend expensive fixes whether you need them or not. That's why industry standards keep these services apart. In Southfield, where homes built around 1969 are common and the climate brings plenty of moisture, having an independent inspector first gives you an honest assessment before any work begins.

If you're considering Healthy Homes, Inc. & Asbestos Removal Technologies, Inc., ask upfront whether they're performing the inspection or the remediation (or both). A typical mold inspection in this region costs $200-$600, so it's worth getting that unbiased look first. If they'll be doing remediation work, verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance, and ask whether they hold IICRC S520 certification - that shows real expertise in this field.
