Video: Why is Independent Mold Testing Important?
‘One-stop shops’ that do both mold testing and remediation tend to magnify the problem in hopes of charging large fees for the remediation to follow, which may or may not be necessary. This became clear on Long Island after the disaster of Superstorm Sandy.
If a company offers you testing and remediation services: think twice. Why? You may wind up paying thousands of dollars for exaggerated repair estimates or an improper and ineffective remediation, and you won’t know if the problem exists or not. An independent mold test can save you thousands. Also, it is now illegal in New York State to conduct mold testing and remediation on the same job. You must hire two independent companies.
