Avoid conflicts of interest during a mold
remediation project, take care in hiring Mold
Contractors: The person who evaluates your
property should certainly not be the same
person who is going to perform that work.
Similarly, after a mold cleanup has been
completed, the person who inspects and tests
to certify that the work has been done
properly should have no connection with the
company who performed the cleaning. At
Guardian Real Estate Inspections - serving
Columbus Ohio and surrounding area, our
Professional Mold Inspectors are certified in
Industrial Hygiene Management, working as your advocate in all phases including the
initial inspection, litigation, and final remediation.
