Facing a mold problem can feel overwhelming. You've probably already contacted a remediation company and received their proposal, but before any work begins, there's a crucial first step you should take. To ensure the job is done right, the industry's gold standard, the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), strongly recommends a two-part inspection approach. This process puts you, the property owner, in the driver's seat and guarantees a successful, transparent outcome from start to finish.
