NM Abatement LLC

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two separate jobs that require different expertise. An inspector's job is to find mold and report what they find, while a remediation contractor's job is to remove it. When the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend expensive remediation work, even if it's not necessary. That's why industry standards recommend keeping these roles separate. In Albuquerque, where older homes (the median was built in 1979) are common, getting an independent inspection first helps you make decisions based on facts, not sales pressure.

NM Abatement LLC is listed as a mold inspector in Albuquerque, so they can provide that objective assessment you need. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. If remediation work is recommended, make sure any contractor you hire holds a current NMCID contractor's license, as required by New Mexico law. Before you sign any agreement, ask to see proof of their license and verify it's active.
