Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't be done by the same company. An inspector's job is to find mold and tell you what's there, while a remediation company fixes 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 services should stay separate. In Buffalo, where older homes and humid conditions create ideal environments for mold growth, getting an unbiased inspection first makes sense before you commit to any remediation work.

Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup is listed as a mold inspector in Buffalo, which means they can assess your situation. Before you hire them or any inspector, verify that they're licensed by the New York State Department of Labor at mpwr-public.labor.ny.gov - it's a requirement for this work. Once you have their inspection report, you'll be in a good position to get a separate quote from a remediation contractor if needed. Ask the inspector upfront whether they also do remediation work, and if they do, get a second opinion before moving forward.
