Did You Know?

• Some remediation companies will provide you with a “free” mold inspection or one for a very low fee, in order to obtain a lucrative remediation contract. Don’t be fooled by these “loss Leader” tactics. Insisting on a third-party, independent assessment can save you from staggering remediation expenses.

• There are no licensing, certification, or experience requirements for individuals who conduct mold testing or assessments in the State of Georgia.

• Many "Certified" mold inspectors have attended nothing more than a one or two day training course.

• Offering both mold testing and remediation is a conflict of interest.

• Visible mold is often accompanied by hidden or concealed mold that cannot be detected without a full mold assessment.
  

• The standard 1 inch filter that is installed in most furnaces are there for the furnaces health and not for the health of the building occupants.
  

• A professional mold assessment should be conducted before hiring a mold remediation company.

• Pro-Spect's principal Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) holds every major industry certification (click here for a list of his credentials).

• Removing mold without locating and correcting the moisture source can result in new mold growth, often within 48 hours.

• Many people with a mold problem only inquire about the cost of a mold assessment without asking about the IEPs qualifications or experience.

Diagnosing mold contamination in buildings is serious business. Don't risk your or your family's health by hiring someone with little or no formal training or experience. As a third-party, independent environmental consulting firm, our ONLY concern is properly diagnosing the environmental conditions in your home or building. Because Pro-Spect does not sell equipment, devices, chemicals, or mold "gimmicks" and because we do not perform remediation services or accept fees or gratuities from any company that does, you can be confident of our thoroughness and objectivity
