If you didn't know any better, which would you choose? A free service or a service that costs several hundred dollars? Many mold remediation companies offer a "free" mold inspection. If you're thinking that nothing is free and there must be a catch, you're right.
You probably already guessed that the free mold inspection is a bait and switch. The goal of the mold remediation company is for you to forego hiring a mold inspection company, to forego environmental sampling, and to hire them to fix the problems that they identified during their "no sampling approach" to a mold inspection. However, It is not possible to know the extent of your problem and sometimes whether or not you have an indoor air quality problem unless sampling is performed.
Some mold remediation companies do not take samples because they do not want to later be accused of falsifying lab results to get your mold remediation business. Mold remediation companies often do not want the scope of work that they recommend or the quality of their work to be influenced by mold testing companies. Mold remediators biggest concern about mold inspectors is that testing services have the potential to cut into their profit.
Most mold remediation jobs are several thousand to tens of thousand of dollars. So much for the value of a "free" mold inspection performed by mold remediators!
