SERVPRO of Jackson and Madison County

Before hiring anyone for mold work in Jackson, ask three important questions: Is the company licensed by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors? Do they carry liability insurance? And critically, who's doing the inspection versus the remediation work? In Jackson's humid climate (averaging 74% relative humidity and 54 inches of rain yearly), mold problems aren't uncommon, especially in older homes like the median Jackson residence built in 1970. Many companies offer both inspection and remediation services, which creates a conflict of interest - inspectors who also do the cleanup work have financial incentive to recommend expensive repairs. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region, so it's worth understanding who's assessing the problem.

SERVPRO of Jackson and Madison County is listed as a mold inspector in Jackson, but before you call, verify whether they're also performing the remediation work. If they are, ask yourself whether you're comfortable with that arrangement. Get a second opinion from an independent inspector who won't be doing any cleanup work. Before signing any agreement, confirm that whoever you hire holds current licensing and insurance, and understand exactly what services are included in the inspection fee.
