Is the mold inspection really free?

Will my homeowners insurance cover it?

It depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Insurance claims are welcome, and we work directly with insurers. Financing is also available.

Can mold grow in a dry desert climate like Las Vegas?

Yes. Mold needs moisture, and in Las Vegas that usually comes from plumbing leaks, water heaters, AC drain lines, roof leaks or monsoon water. Find and fix the water, and you stop the mold.

How do I know the mold is really gone?

After remediation, samples go to an accredited, independent third-party lab for clearance testing. We do not grade our own work. If clearance fails, we come back and redo the work at our own cost.

Do you put the drywall back?

Yes. Our own crew restores drywall, texture, paint and flooring after remediation, so you are not left hiring a second company.

Does Nevada license mold companies?

Nevada does not issue a specific mold remediation license. We hold Nevada Contractor License #59782, we are an IICRC Certified Firm, and our work follows the ANSI/IICRC S520 standard.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every technician is a certified W-2 employee of Mold Eliminators.
