MAD Cleaning, LLC

Before hiring anyone for mold work in Cleveland, ask three key questions: Is the inspector certified through IICRC S520, or do they have equivalent credentials? Do they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance? And critically, will they be the same company doing the inspection and the remediation work? That last one matters because inspectors who also do the cleanup have a financial incentive to find problems, which creates a conflict of interest. Ohio doesn't require statewide mold remediation licensing, so you'll need to verify qualifications yourself. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region, so get that quote upfront.

Given Cleveland's climate - averaging 70% humidity and 39 inches of rain yearly - mold can be a real concern, especially in older homes like many of the ones built around 1951 still standing here. MAD Cleaning, LLC operates in Cleveland and has earned a 4.7-star rating from customers. If you're considering them, make sure they can provide proof of their certifications and insurance coverage before you commit. Ask specifically whether they perform only inspection or if they also do remediation work, and get their answer in writing.
