Sooner Cleaning + Restoration

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 mold and tell you what's there, while a remediation contractor removes it. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to find problems and then sell you the fix, which can lead to unnecessary or inflated work. That's why industry standards recommend keeping these roles separate. In Norman, where homes average over 60 years old and humidity stays high, mold inspections matter. If you're concerned about mold, start with an independent inspector first.

Once you have inspection results, you can bring in a contractor for any needed remediation. Sooner Cleaning + Restoration is listed as a mold inspector in Norman, so they can give you an objective assessment. If remediation is needed afterward, ask your contractor about their IICRC S520 certification and general liability insurance, which are solid markers of credibility in Oklahoma (where mold remediation licensing isn't required by state law). Before you sign any agreement, verify which service you're actually paying for and confirm they're not planning to do both the inspection and the remediation.
