SERVPRO of NE Salt Lake City/Park City

When you see a business with 545 Google reviews and a 5-star rating, that tells you people have had positive experiences with them. What it doesn't tell you is whether they're the right fit for your specific situation. In Salt Lake City, mold can be a real concern given our older housing stock (the median home here was built in 1962) and our relatively dry climate. If you suspect mold, you'll want an inspector you can trust to give you an honest assessment without a financial incentive to recommend expensive fixes.

Here's where it gets tricky: SERVPRO of NE Salt Lake City/Park City is listed as a mold inspector, but they also perform mold remediation work. Industry standards flag this as a potential conflict of interest, since the same company profits from both finding the problem and selling you the solution. Before you call anyone, verify they're licensed through the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) and carry proper insurance. Then ask this key question: will they provide you with a written, independent inspection report that you can take to other contractors for a second opinion?
