Why Choose Memphis Mold Inspector?
In many cases, we can save you hundreds—even thousands—of dollars on unnecessary cleanup costs. Often, professional mold remediation is not needed or can be handled by homeowners with the right guidance. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows non-professionals to manage certain small-scale projects with proper personal protective equipment.
Avoid Costly Mistakes with Big 'White Van' Companies
Many large, well-known mold remediation companies charge exorbitant fees for services that are often unnecessary. Here’s what we’ve seen:- Exorbitant Quotes: Some companies charge nearly double what we and smaller, reputable companies would.
- Incorrect Assessments: In one case, a company quoted $2,500 for a problem that could have been resolved by removing a small section of drywall—at a total cost of around $800 with our services.
- Ignoring Root Causes: These companies often fix symptoms rather than addressing the source, leading to recurring mold problems.
