The mold remediation and inspection process is an act of balancing such that it ensures the health and safety of the occupant and in preserving the owner’s property value. However, before deciding on hiring a contractor, you must know few things:
The mold inspector or the company you choose must provide a value proposition standing apart from others. The inspector’s credentials should certainly include an experience, a certification, a fine work product and also a competitive price. Adding to this, the company should provide past customers multiple references that were satisfied and have had a good experience.
The next to know is to reduce any conflict of interest; the company doing mold inspection must strictly be in the inspecting, consulting and testing business. In that way, the mold assessing company will have no interest vested to benefit or take advantage from the repair that may be essential through remediation of molds.
The inspection report must be a document of two parts such as the inspection report and also the lab results. The mold testing may be conducted, while the samples must be sent for analysis to an independent libratory. The lab results analysis is interpreted by the inspection company such as Ortam Group mold inspection, so that they offer a comprehensive analysis of laboratory findings, property condition and recommendations.
The report must be easy to understand. Another point worth consideration is that some inspectors just provide the lab results without including additional documentation. Thus remember that the mold inspector you choose also serves as a consultant and produces document reflecting his inspection process interpretation.
The proposition value should reflect in the service promptness, inspector availability to speak, listen and schedule appointment, besides the quality and price of the report. The reports must not be very lengthy, though it is expected to be informative. It should have the wording designed to facilitate understanding easily and educating the customer and not aiming to shield the inspection company.
Finally, now it is your turn also to consider few things and to decide if you require a legal dissertation and an inspection report. As such there are many disclaimers and disclosures to be included as reports, but sometimes they are expensive reports.
Property managers and owners dealing with mold problem must ask the inspector how to solve the mold problem, the cost and the time it will take to eliminate the mold from the property.
