Single Source Disaster Recovery Specialists

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that require different expertise. An inspector's job is to find mold, identify what's causing it, and give you an honest assessment of the problem. A remediation company's job is to fix it. When the same company does both, there's a built-in conflict of interest - they have financial incentive to find more mold or recommend more work than you actually need. That's why industry standards say these services should stay separate. In Cranston, where homes built around 1958 are common and humidity runs high at 70% on average, mold problems aren't unusual. You'll want an independent inspector first, someone with no stake in the cleanup work.

Single Source Disaster Recovery Specialists is listed as a mold inspector in Cranston, so that's where they come in. Get them to inspect your property and give you a clear, unbiased report. A standalone inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Once you have their findings, you can shop around for remediation work separately, knowing you've got solid information to work from. Before you schedule anything, verify that whoever does your inspection won't also be bidding on the remediation - ask them directly about this conflict-of-interest policy.
