Due to the recent bad weather and storm surge related to Hurricane Ike, Galveston mold removal services have become one of the most in-demand needs in the area. Unfortunately, those impacted by storm related damage are increasingly prone to further victimization by workers pretending to be mold remediation experts. Learn how to protect your finances, your home and the health of your family when contracting for mold cleanup and removal by following these quick tips: 1. Verify that business license of the company. Make sure the company you are doing business with is fully licensed, bonded and insured – plus certified to perform the work in compliance with recognized standards.
2. Find out how long the company has been in business and what type of warranty or guarantee on work is provided. Mold removal isn’t as easy as it may appear – heavily contaminated areas may require extensive remediation or repair; spores can spread throughout the air vents of a home only to reappear weeks or even months later. Make sure work will be done right the first time – not only will it reduce the long term cost of further repairs and escalating insurance (not to mention declining property values) but it also helps keep your family safe from the potential health risks associated with mold.
3. Get written estimates. Before contracting for any major work to be performed, obtain written estimates and an anticipated time for completion in order to avoid unpleasant surprises and costly delays. Don’t’ be afraid to shop around for second opinions especially if a specific estimate seems high or you don’t fully understand what is included in the work.
4. Find a company willing to work with your insurance policy. Chances are you may have a lot of unscheduled expenses ranging from high gasoline and hotel costs to replacing belongings…dealing with a company willing and able to work directly with your insurance provider is one less thing to worry with.
5. Deal with a company that cares. In addition to fly-by-night vendors that suddenly crop up everywhere, it is essential to understand what is included and what isn’t when contracting for mold removal. Work with a company willing to handle everything from start to finish; mold removal, air vent cleaning to remove spores, upholstery and rug cleaning, disposal, water damage to floors, carpeting etc… Although it might sound like a tall order, it is possible to have everything done with just one call if you go with a reputable nationwide company like Kiwi Services.
