SERVPRO of Downtown Oklahoma City, Midtown

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different things, and it matters that they stay separate. An inspector's job is to find mold, test it, and tell you what you're dealing with. A remediation company's job is to remove it and fix the problem. When the same company does both, they have a reason to recommend more work than you might actually need. That's why industry standards say these roles shouldn't overlap. In Oklahoma City, where homes built around 1975 sit in a climate averaging 60% humidity and 37 inches of rain yearly, mold can become a real concern. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and gives you the honest information you need to make decisions.

If you're considering SERVPRO of Downtown Oklahoma City, Midtown or any other contractor for mold work, start by getting an independent inspection first. That unbiased report becomes your roadmap. When you're ready to hire someone for remediation, verify they carry general liability insurance and look for IICRC S520 certification, which shows they've been trained in mold remediation standards. Before you sign anything, ask whether they performed the original inspection themselves, and if they did, get a second opinion from someone with no stake in the remediation work.
