SERVPRO of Jersey City North, The Heights

A mold inspection in Jersey City typically costs $200 to $600, depending on your home's size and how accessible the areas are that need checking. Older homes like many in Jersey City (the median was built in 1968) and our humid climate - averaging 71% relative humidity - can make mold more likely to hide in walls and crawl spaces. When you're ready to get an inspection, you'll want to know that New Jersey doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, but contractors must be registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs and should hold IICRC S520 certification.

Here's something important: inspectors who also do the remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest under industry standards, since they profit from finding problems. Before you call SERVPRO of Jersey City North, The Heights or any inspector, ask whether they perform remediation themselves. If they do both inspection and the cleanup work, consider getting a second opinion from an independent inspector before agreeing to any major work or spending.
