SERVPRO of West El Paso

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs. An inspector's job is to find mold, test it, and tell you what you're dealing with. A remediation contractor's job is to remove it. When the same company does both, there's a built-in conflict of interest - they have financial incentive to recommend expensive remediation work, even if it's not necessary. That's why industry standards keep these roles separate. In El Paso, where older homes (the median was built in 1978) are common, getting an independent inspection first gives you honest information about whether you actually have a problem and how serious it is.

SERVPRO of West El Paso is available as a mold inspector in El Paso. If you go that route, you'll get their findings, and then you can decide your next step based on facts rather than sales pressure. Expect to pay $200 to $600 for a standalone inspection in this region. Before you hire anyone for remediation work afterward, verify they hold a Texas Mold Remediation Contractor License from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) - you can check their license status at tdlr.texas.gov. Ask to see that license before signing any contract.
