Five Point Restoration

Sandy's moderate climate and older housing stock create conditions where mold can become a real concern. With the median home built in 1984 and average rainfall around 17 inches annually, moisture problems aren't uncommon in the area. If you suspect mold, Five Point Restoration is one option for inspections in Sandy, though you should know that inspectors who also perform remediation work face a built-in conflict of interest. That means they have financial incentive to find problems that require their services, which can complicate whether you're getting an unbiased assessment.

Before you call, understand what you're looking for. A standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs between $200 and $600. Utah doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so verify that any contractor you hire holds a valid license from the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) and carries appropriate insurance. Ask Five Point Restoration upfront whether they'll inspect only or if they also do remediation work, then decide if you'd rather get a second opinion from someone who inspects without offering to fix the problem.
