4D Restoration

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different services, and there's a good reason they shouldn't come from the same company. An inspector's job is to identify and document mold problems objectively, while a remediation contractor fixes them. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to find more mold or recommend costlier solutions. In Edmond, where homes average over 30 years old and humidity levels stay around 62%, mold problems aren't uncommon. Getting an independent inspection first (typically $200-$600 in this region) protects you from bias and gives you solid information before deciding on repairs.

Once you have that independent report, you'll be in a strong position to choose a remediation contractor. If you're considering 4D Restoration for either service, verify they hold IICRC S520 certification and carry general liability insurance, since Oklahoma doesn't require a specific mold remediation license. Before you sign any agreement, ask them directly whether they'll also be handling the inspection or if they're working from a separate inspector's findings. That clarity upfront will save you headaches later.
