Describe what you can see and smell
Describe which room, how long it has been there and whether anything leaked or flooded. Photographs help more than a description of the color.
How Mold Service Works
Phoenix Mold Experts connects you by phone with an independent mold remediation provider. Here is how a Phoenix inspection is arranged, what happens at the property and what you should have in your hands at the end.
- Referral Service
- Independent Providers
- Residential & Commercial
From Call to Finished Work
Plan the inspection
Availability and scheduling depend on the provider and the property address. Clear access to the area, the air handler closet and the attic hatch if you can.
Read the written scope
Ask for the moisture findings, what would be removed, how the area would be sealed off and a written quote before anyone starts work.
Check the finished area
At the end you should be walked through what came out, what was cleaned, the drying readings and what still needs rebuilding.
Before the Appointment
Leave the area as you found it. Painting over a stain, spraying the growth or pulling up wet flooring all make the moisture harder to trace, and scrubbing established growth pushes spores into the rest of the house. If you can do it safely, cover the supply and return vents in that room so the cooling system does not carry anything around the building.
Write down when you first noticed it, whether anything leaked, and whether the house was closed up or empty at the time. In Phoenix that last detail explains a surprising number of jobs.
Browse the mold services, check your city on the service areas page, read the common questions or compare removal and remediation before you approve a quote.
