Ready Now

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different things, and it matters who does them. An inspector's job is to find mold, test it, and tell you what's there. 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 bigger, more expensive fixes. That's why industry standards say inspectors and remediators shouldn't be the same outfit. In Knoxville, where homes average over 48 inches of rain yearly and humidity sits around 71%, mold can be a real concern, especially in older houses like many of the ones built around 1973.

Ready Now offers mold inspection services in Knoxville, and keeping that work separate from remediation means you get honest findings. A standalone inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Before you call, verify whether Ready Now handles remediation work as well as inspection. If they do both, you might want to use them for the inspection only and hire a different, licensed contractor for any cleanup work. If you do need remediation later, confirm that contractor holds a Tennessee S-Mold Contractor License for projects over $25,000, which you can verify at search.cloud.commerce.tn.gov.
