United Water Restoration Group of Charlotte

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't be done by the same company. During an inspection, a professional identifies whether mold exists, where it's located, and what type it is. Remediation is the actual removal and treatment. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend expensive remediation work, even if it's not necessary. That's why industry standards call for keeping these services separate. You want an unbiased inspector who'll give you honest findings, then you can decide who handles any cleanup that's actually needed.

Charlotte's humid climate (averaging 68% relative humidity and 42 inches of rain yearly) creates conditions where mold can develop, especially in older homes like many of those built around 1986 throughout the area. If you're considering United Water Restoration Group of Charlotte for a mold inspection, make sure you're getting just that - an inspection. Before you hire anyone, verify they hold a valid general contractor's license from the NCLBGC and ask whether they also do remediation work. If they do both, find a different inspector who can give you independent results.
