Eagle Inspections

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different services, and here's why it matters: inspectors identify and document mold problems, while remediation companies fix them. When the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend expensive fixes, even when smaller solutions might work. That's why industry standards say these should be separate. In Philadelphia, where older homes (the median was built in 1948) and humid conditions create ideal environments for mold growth, getting an unbiased inspection first is smart. Eagle Inspections keeps things honest by focusing on inspection alone.

When you're ready to move forward, you'll want a remediation contractor who's separate from your inspector. Pennsylvania doesn't require a statewide mold remediation license, so look for IICRC-certified contractors and verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance. A mold inspection in Philadelphia typically costs between $200 and $600, which is a solid investment before you commit to any remediation work. Before signing anything with any contractor, ask to see their certifications and insurance documentation.
