Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Mold Removal Company

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Mold Removal CompanyFinding mold can cause families and business owners a lot of panic and stress. It’s not always easy to know if you have the kind of mold or mildew that can simply be cleaned with some bleach, or if it’s severe enough to cause breathing and respiratory problems – this is why you need to call in a mold removal company.

Your best bet is to call for an assessment; that way your mind will be put at ease. Because the truth is, mold can destroy your property, and harm the health of occupants. It’s serious business.

Mold removal and remediation is a complicated process that demands extensive knowledge and specialized equipment. So it’s best to ensure you get a reputable company that can help you.

The right company will answer your questions, do an assessment of your property, give you honest answers about what process you should follow, and whether you can manage on your own or not.

Here Are Some Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Mold Removal Company:

Do You Provide Free Estimates?

To make an informed decision, it is important to understand the extent of your property problem or mold issue. This is why free assessment with a detailed estimate is useful. With an estimate, you can understand the scope of your mold issue and move forward in a way that is best suited.

Are Your Employees Trained?

The crew working on your property will need expert knowledge to assess the mold situation. If it’s a large or complicated mold issue, employees will need to use skill, experience, and thoroughness to remedy the issue.

The professionals are versed in using the chemicals and cleaning materials needed for the job, and how to use any specialized equipment.

Do You Provide Air Testing as Part of Your Service?

Testing the air quality at the start and end of the job is essential. It will help the mold removal crew to make a measured and accurate estimate of the task ahead, and give them a more precise idea of the complete mold issue. After the job, performing air testing will give you a good idea if the task was handled correctly.

Is The Company Insured?

Finding out whether a mold removal company is insured is a good way to determine its legitimacy. It’s important to find out what type of liability insurance the company has, what the insurance covers, and the amount of coverage. Knowing the company is insured will provide a sense of ease and security if any injury or damage occurs on your property.

Do You Isolate The Area?

When it comes to removing mold, it is essential that you don’t cause it to travel to unaffected areas. The last thing you want to do is expose other parts of your property to the mold issue. That’s why implementing proper containment measures is so important. Be sure to ask the mold removal company how they plan to isolate the affected area, and how they plan to prevent it from spreading to the rest of your home or commercial building.

What Safety Measures Do You Have in Place?

Mold removal presents health risks to those working to remove the infestation. Ask about the safety measures their team will use in the process of mold remediation. Will the crew be wearing full protective gear and control the amount of ventilation by sealing all doors, windows, and vents with plastic

How Long Has the Company Been in Business?

Ask the mold removal company about their history performing mold remediation and restoration work. Why not ask them for references on similar projects or verify their business information with the Better Business Bureau or other online review sources?

Do You Offer Post-Remediation Testing?

How will you know whether the mold is actually gone? Make sure the mold remediation company you choose provides a post-remediation testing offering. This way, they will prove that there is no visible sign of mold and lingering odors.

Keeping a healthy home and business environment is important. If you suspect mold or mildew is growing inside your property, make sure you give a reputable mold removal company a call immediately. Acting fast is essential.
