Doan, LLC

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two very different services, and it matters that they come from different companies. An inspector's job is to find mold, identify moisture sources, and give you an honest report. A remediation company's job is to fix the problem. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to find more mold or recommend bigger solutions than you actually need. That's why industry standards say these should be separate. In Troy, where homes often date back to 1977 and humidity levels run high, getting an independent inspection first protects you. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and gives you the clear-eyed assessment you need before making any decisions.

Once you have that independent report, you can shop for remediation contractors with confidence. Doan, LLC is listed as a mold inspector in Troy, which means they're positioned to give you that unbiased starting point. Before you hire anyone for the actual remediation work, verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance, and ask whether they hold IICRC S520 certification (Michigan doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so these credentials matter). Get everything in writing, and don't rush the process.
