Question 1

Is mold testing necessary or can I just see it?

Accepted Answer

Visible mold tells you there is a problem but not how bad it is. Hidden mold behind walls and elevated spore counts in the air are common even when you only see a small patch. Testing gives the full picture.

Question 2

Does homeowners insurance cover mold?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden pipe burst is often covered. Mold from long-term neglect or maintenance issues usually is not. Check your policy or call your insurer before filing a claim.

Question 3

Where is EI Group?

Accepted Answer

They are at 3240 Office Pointe Pl, Ste 102 in Louisville, KY 40220. Call (502) 499-6490 to schedule or to ask about their service area.

Question 4

Does EI Group do remediation too?

Accepted Answer

Some companies inspect and remediate, others only inspect. If they do both, ask how they handle the conflict of interest. Ideally, the company diagnosing the problem is separate from the one being paid to fix it. Call (502) 499-6490.

Question 5

How much does a mold inspection cost?

Accepted Answer

Residential mold inspections typically run $200 to $600 depending on home size and number of samples. Lab analysis is sometimes an additional charge. Call (502) 499-6490 for a quote.

Question 6

When should I get a mold inspection?

Accepted Answer

After water damage, before buying a home, if you smell something musty, or if anyone in the household has unexplained respiratory issues. Mold grows within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, so act quickly after leaks or floods.
