When you have mold, making the correct decisions right away is critical. Whether it is mold in your home, school, place of work, or apartment there are many factors to consider. Are you going to be involved in a mold lawsuit? Will you be seeking property damages? Is anyone sick from mold exposure? Will you be seeking medical damages? Will you need expert witnesses? If so, what kind? Do you just want to test to be sure your environment is safe? Do you need post mold remediation testing to ensure a good job was done? These and other factors are questions which need to be answered before any environmental testing starts. It is important to know what your goals are and why your testing. Different goals require different environmental tests, i.e. medical damages and property damages require different environmental tests to prove your case in court. Tests that a common, or inexperienced, mold inspector would not typically use or know to use.

"They gave me a report that was safe and okay. We needed to do minimal work to keep things safe. No black mold found. About 4 months later, Iâ ve found black mold everywhere. Kitchen mould mites took all my appliances. My kids are sick. We have to move out. They wonâ t refund my money because itâ s â my fault I found itâ"

Many mold inspection companies offer free phone consultations to determine if there's an actual need for their services. This usually takes a few minutes and typically involves answering a few questions. Unfortunately, companies that offer free mold inspections may be more likely to find a mold problem so they can charge you to fix the problem—even if you don't have any mold issues.
Mold inspections can be quite complex, including visual inspections, sample collection, testing, taking photos and notes, and preparation of reports. To ensure you get the most accurate result, hire a dedicated mold inspection company.
Typically, a basic mold inspection can take about two hours, while a detailed inspection with a suspected mold problem can take as long as six hours. The amount of time it takes to do a mold inspection and mold testing will vary from home to home, so you may want to block off an entire afternoon or morning to accommodate the inspector.
Homeowners can expect to pay anywhere between $1,220 and $3,750 for mold remediation, with an average cost of $2,360. The cost of mold remediation will vary depending on quite a few factors, such as how big the mold problem is, where the mold is located, and the type of mold.
