Great communication from the first call. They tested the air, handled the removal, and rechecked the space before signing off.
The mold cleanup itself was great. The only hiccup was a reschedule due to weather.

No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.
