Thumb Inspections

A mold inspection in Sterling Heights typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on your home's size and how accessible problem areas are. Older homes like those common in Sterling Heights, where the median was built in 1977, sometimes need more thorough checking. The area's climate - averaging 70% relative humidity and 32 inches of rain yearly - creates conditions where mold can take hold, so it's worth getting a professional opinion if you're seeing signs of moisture or growth.

When you contact Thumb Inspections or another mold inspector, make sure they only inspect and don't also handle remediation work. Inspectors who do both jobs have a built-in conflict of interest under industry standards. Before you sign anything, ask whether they hold IICRC S520 certification and verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance - this protects you if something goes wrong during the process.
