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.
