Detect and Inspect LLC

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different services, and it's important they come from different companies. An inspector's job is to find mold and tell you what's there. A remediation contractor's job is to fix it. When the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to find more mold or recommend bigger fixes than necessary. That's why industry standards call for keeping these services separate. In Tyler, where homes often date back to the 1970s and humidity averages 67%, mold can be a real concern. You'll want an independent inspector first to get an honest assessment.

Detect and Inspect LLC handles the inspection side, which typically costs $200-$600 in this region. Once you have their findings, you can shop for a separate remediation contractor if needed. Before you hire anyone for remediation work, verify they hold a Texas Mold Remediation Contractor License from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) by checking tdlr.texas.gov. Ask Detect and Inspect LLC upfront whether they perform any remediation work themselves, and get that answer in writing.
