Choosing a mould removal company

A mould removal and remediation business in Florida has been making headlines this month because their owner was arrested for fraud: faking test results and pretending to remove mould by ripping out flooring and walls without actually doing anything at all other than damaging people’s homes. He left his customers with intentionally confusing laboratory reports they weren’t able to decipher along with a mould problem that remained long after he took their money and ran.  

There is nothing as frustrating as paying for a job not completed properly, but when it comes to mould removal, your family’s health is at stake. This makes it especially important for home and business owners to only choose experienced and trusted mould removal companies.  

How to choose a mould removal company
Research. Check local online directories and trustworthy rating sites like www.homestars.com for honest and straightforward reviews of mould removal companies. 

Ask. Don’t hesitate to ask the company for references and testimonials. It’s also a must that they be certified (Applied Microbial Removal Technician and Water Damage Restoration Technician are just some examples of possible certifications from accreditation bodies like the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration in North America – IICRC), licensed, carry liability insurance and Workplace Safety and Insurance Board coverage – to not only protect themselves, but their customers.  

Compare. Many fly-by-night mould removal companies offer low rates, but in the end homeowners will get what they pay for. Mould removal is an affordable service, often less than one might expect, and trustworthy companies will offer free estimates and great extras such as emergency service and discrete service – usually, at no extra cost.
