SERVPRO of Appleton

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't be done by the same company. An inspector's job is to find mold and figure out what's causing it, while a remediation company fixes the problem. When one business does both, they have a reason to find more mold than might actually exist, or to recommend bigger fixes than necessary. That conflict of interest is why industry standards keep these services separate. In Appleton, where homes average 70% relative humidity and older houses (the median was built in 1971) are common, mold can definitely be a concern worth investigating properly.

If you need a mold inspection in Appleton, hiring an independent inspector first protects you. A standalone inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region and gives you honest information before you decide on any remediation work. Once you have that report, you can then choose a separate remediation contractor if needed. SERVPRO of Appleton is listed as a mold inspector in the area. Before you call any company, verify they're registered with Wisconsin's DSPS if they'll be doing construction work, and ask whether they perform both inspection and remediation, or inspection only.
