We Assess. We Never Remediate.
That Is Our Promise to You.
No remediation. No commissions. No conflicts of interest. Our reports serve one purpose: the truth about your property.
Our No-Remediation, No-Commission Policy
When you hire Mold Rid Of, you are hiring an independent assessor with zero financial interest in the remediation outcome.
We Never Perform Remediation
We are licensed mold assessors, not remediators. We will never try to sell you cleanup services because we do not offer them. Period.
Zero Commissions or Referral Fees
We do not receive kickbacks, referral fees, or commissions from remediation companies. Our only income is the assessment fee you pay directly.
Reports Serve Only the Truth
Our lab reports are sent directly from AIHA-accredited laboratories. We cannot alter results. What the lab finds is what you get.
Licensed Under Florida Law
We hold Florida MRSA License #3958 and operate under the strict requirements of Chapter 468, which mandates separation of assessment and remediation.
Florida Chapter 468: Why Separation Matters
Florida is one of the few states that legally separates mold assessment from mold remediation. Here is what that means for you.
Separate Licenses Required
Florida requires separate licenses for mold assessors (MRSA) and mold remediators (MRSR). The same company cannot legally perform both services on the same project. This prevents "diagnose and sell" conflicts.
Consumer Protection by Design
The law exists because when the same entity assesses and remediates, they have a direct financial incentive to exaggerate mold findings. Separation protects homeowners from inflated remediation quotes.
Insurance and Legal Credibility
Reports from independent assessors carry more weight with insurance adjusters, attorneys, and courts. Because the assessor has no financial stake in remediation, the report is considered more credible.
Reference: Florida Statutes Chapter 468, Part XVI. Mold-Related Services.
Conflicted Model vs. Independent Model
Not all mold inspections are created equal. The business model behind the inspection determines the objectivity of the results.
Conflicted Model
"Same company inspects AND remediates"
- ✗Financial incentive to find (or exaggerate) mold
- ✗Often offers 'free' inspections as a sales funnel
- ✗May recommend unnecessary remediation work
- ✗Reports may not be accepted by insurance adjusters
- ✗No legal separation between assessment and remediation
- ✗Homeowner pays inflated remediation costs
Independent Model (Mold Rid Of)
"Assessment only. We never remediate."
- Zero financial incentive to exaggerate findings
- Fair, transparent assessment fee (no 'free' bait)
- Reports based on lab science, not sales targets
- Reports accepted by every Florida insurance carrier
- Licensed under Chapter 468 (MRSA #3958)
- Homeowner gets honest data to make informed decisions
Real Example: How Independence Protects You
An anonymized case from our assessment records.
The Situation
A South Florida homeowner was quoted $12,000 for mold remediation by a company that performed both inspection and cleanup. The homeowner suspected the quote was inflated and requested a second opinion.
Our Independent Assessment
We performed an independent mold assessment with air and surface sampling sent to an AIHA-accredited laboratory. Our findings confirmed mold presence in two areas, but the scope was significantly smaller than what the original company reported. The moisture source was a minor plumbing issue, not a structural defect.
The Outcome
Armed with our independent report, the homeowner obtained remediation quotes from licensed remediators. Final remediation cost: $3,200 (not $12,000). Our assessment fee saved the homeowner nearly $9,000 in unnecessary work.
Details anonymized to protect client privacy. This case represents a common pattern we encounter where assessment-only companies provide homeowners with accurate, unbiased data that prevents overspending on remediation.
