No one wakes up and says
"I want to make a bad decision", but it sometimes it happens. Bad
decisions are made when you have a topic that you have no prior experience
with, for example, mold remediation.
Below are issues that could or
have occured with mold testing and mold remediation companies:
- Do they have an office or do they work out of a house? Generally companies that work out of a home or have a PO Box number as opposed to a commercial address are smaller, less capable and subcontract equipment and labor to complete a job. These companies tend to close up shop after a few years. We see it time and time again.
- Ifa company says "This is an emergency mold situation and has to be completed ASAP (including a weekend)", it is a false statment. Mold doesn’t grow overnight, it takes time, weeks, months and often years to develop to a point that the mold problem even becomes visual. Rush scheduling often is meant to lock you into getting the job done. Trust me you can wait a few days to assess all your options.
- Franchise companies have large overhead every month and this is reflected in their pricing. From interviewing past and former employees of these firms, we have established a pretty solid line of evidence that their training and expertise is lacking. If a mold remediator can’t tell me how to remediate mold and they have been doing it for over a year, there is a problem with the company providing the service.
- Mold companies that also do building trade services such as sheetrock and remodeling. These firms have a vested interest in removing more building materials they can be paid to replace what is removed. Fox guarding the henhouse.
