Pillar To Post Home Inspectors

Before hiring anyone for mold inspection in El Paso, check three things: verify they're licensed as a mold remediation contractor with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) at tdlr.texas.gov, confirm they don't also perform remediation work (which creates a conflict of interest), and get a clear quote upfront since standalone mold inspections typically range from $200 to $600 in this region. Given that the median El Paso home was built in 1978, older houses are especially prone to hidden moisture problems. Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is one option you'll encounter, but make sure to vet them against these standards before moving forward.

The dry climate in El Paso (averaging just 10 inches of rain yearly) is actually in your favor, but it doesn't eliminate mold risk entirely. Before you sign any agreement with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors or anyone else, ask directly whether they perform mold remediation services in addition to inspections. If they do both, that's a red flag - they'd have financial incentive to recommend expensive cleanup work. Stick with inspectors who only inspect, and get a separate remediation contractor if you need one.
