Dwella Inspections

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and there's a good reason they shouldn't come from the same company. An inspector's job is to find and identify mold problems objectively. A remediation company's job is to fix them. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to find more mold or recommend bigger fixes than necessary. That's why industry standards say these services should stay separate. In Fargo, where homes average over 68% relative humidity, mold can be a real concern, especially in older houses like many of ours built around 1990. Dwella Inspections keeps things honest by handling the inspection side, which means you're getting an unbiased assessment of what's actually in your home.

Once you know what you're dealing with, you can make your own decisions about remediation. If Dwella Inspections finds mold, you'll have the information you need to shop around for a qualified contractor. In North Dakota, there's no specific mold remediation license requirement, so make sure whoever you hire carries proper insurance and holds IICRC certification. A mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Before you book with any inspector, ask them to confirm they don't perform remediation work themselves.
