The Bay Area's Leader in Mold and Microbial Investigations

Pricing and Policies

What is the typical cost of reconstruction after remediation?

This is another difficult question since all projects are unique. A kitchen remediation that includes cabinets and granite countertops will cost much more to rebuild than a bedroom wall.

What is the typical cost of a mold inspection?

The cost of sampling will depend on many factors, such as the number and types of samples collected, the method of laboratory analysis to be used, the type of report needed, and the location of the site. Typical mold inspections average between $800 and $1500, and may or may not include remediation maps or thermography. Some mold inspectors take commissions of up to 10% from the contractor for referrals… who do you think pays for that.

What is the typical cost of mold remediation?

This is the part that is completely out of our control. The cost really depends on the scope of work and the company that you choose to do that work.  Our inspection report includes a protocol, or scope of work, for the contractors to follow.  We make our recommendations following the accepted industry practices, and will not recommend any work that we cannot justify. One of the primary reasons a homeowner requests a mold investigation is to get a written protocol for contractors to bid on.

What happens if the contractor fails the post remediation verification?

This has always been a tough issue.  When a project fails to pass the final sampling, it is primarily the result of either inadequate remediation and cleaning, or there exists a reservoir of mold that is hidden. If the contractor did an inadequate job of remediation and cleaning, then he/she should not only complete the project at his/her cost, but the contractor should also cover the cost of additional testing until clearance is attained.
