Mold Masters: Mold Inspection and Removal in Los Angeles

The stated above credentials are going to be super important for you as a renter to follow, in order for you to prove your case to your landlord or legal counsel.

Our mold remediation team receives about 60 calls a month from renters in Los Angeles about their mold issues.

Let’s go over the most common questions we get from renters.

The first step is to hire a reputable mold testing expert to perform air and/or swab tests. These results get sent to an accredited laboratory with very specific results showing specific molds and the elevation of spore count outside compared to the inside. With this, you have proof in writing that will either get the landlord to move fast, or have to fight your case.

We always recommend sending this proof and a letter to comply to your landlord with a timeframe to complete any mold remediation needed to protect your health:

We get a lot of requests for free mold inspections for renters.

Offering free mold inspection with an actual report is very hard to do, especially when we’re between the renter and landlord dispute. There is too much liability.

Twin Home Experts is here to help guide you over the phone as to how to handle your challenge with the landlord, depending on the situation.

Now, if you see visible mold growth, all you need is to take pictures and send the above letter to the landlord along with photos.

In the event you don’t have visible mold, the only thing is to hire a Los Angeles mold inspector.

If you are highly allergic to mold, or feel really sick from indoor air quality, then we highly recommend hiring a certified hygienist. This usually costs more, but it is well worth your investment and more importantly your health.

For people that are really suffering from mold in your rental property, we recommend that you call The Mold Guy by Mark Levy. We have worked with Mark for years – he’s great but is expensive, and can range from $400 to $2,500.

If your not suffering and don’t have a weak immune system, you can go with a simple air test, with a reputable mold testing company who charges anywhere from $250 to $500.

We love using Geric with Check For Mold .

Yelp is a good source for a lot of other business here in Los Angeles, but when searching on Yelp for the best mold testing companies in Los Angeles, I encourage you not to go with their list.

Example:

So you go to Yelp and look at the high ratings of a company and make that call, we agree this is helpful, BUT Yelp is featuring companies that have no license or insurance, with a criminal record, aren’t paying work compensation instances.

Mold removal companies can run around Los Angeles not needing the credentials of a contractor. All contractors are highly regulated, and offer way more protection for you as the homeowner than a company that doesn’t obtain one.
