Imagine you are a service worker servicing a home or business when you spot mold growing on the walls or ceilings. The sight of mold can be alarming and definitely raises the question of whether you should attempt to remove the mold yourself or look for a remediation company to hand off the job to. While there are many do-it-yourself forums and videos, it is best to leave mold remediation to the professionals. But, how do you decipher which mold company will be the best to partner with? Let’s dive into the top tips on what to look for when choosing a mold remediation company to partner with.
- Research
Many insurance companies will recommend businesses they are familiar with, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are the best. It’s important to do research and find a reputable company that meets your specific needs. Firstly, ensure that this company is insured. This is because you want to ensure that they are covered for any liability and damages that may occur during the remediation process.
- Reputation
The next thing to look at is the reputation of the company. How long have they been in business? What do their reviews look like? Do they have a lot of reviews? What is their word-of-mouth reputation? It’s important to take the time to research and read reviews to ensure that the company has a good reputation and is well-liked by previous customers.
- Breakdown
Professional companies will give a full breakdown of what they do as well as instructions on what you should do along with the homeowner. If they’re not thorough or are nonchalant about it, they may be mediocre with their work. This means that you should also look for a company that takes a comprehensive approach to mold remediation. The company should be willing to explain the steps that they will take to eradicate the mold and provide clear instructions on what you can to do prevent future mold growth.
- Communication
A good company will document the work they complete and keep you updated on the timeline and deadlines. Partnerships must have good communication so that you can plan to perform any duties that you need to complete at the home or business. Also, knowing they document their work shows you that they actually eradicated the problem.
