Watson Mold and Air Quality

Greenville's humid subtropical climate - with average humidity around 71% and 50 inches of rain annually - creates ideal conditions for mold growth. Add in the fact that the median home here was built in 1995, and you've got older construction that's especially vulnerable to moisture problems. If you suspect mold in your Greenville home, getting a professional inspection is a smart first step, typically costing between $200 and $600 in this region. Watson Mold and Air Quality offers mold inspection services locally, so it's worth considering as you evaluate your options.

Before you call, though, know this: inspectors who also perform remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest under industry standards, since they're financially motivated to find problems. When you contact Watson Mold and Air Quality or any inspector, ask specifically whether they perform remediation themselves. If they do, you might want a second opinion from an independent inspector before moving forward with any treatment. Also verify that any contractor you hire holds a valid general contractor's license from the NCLBGC and carries appropriate insurance.
