Frequently, individuals hear from remediation companies or inspectors that the only solution to handle a mold situation is to tear the whole place apart and take down walls. However, this is not always true. Often, mold inspectors may suggest such drastic measures because that is the only method they are familiar with, as that is what they have been taught. Similarly, remediators may recommend such approaches because that is what they are accustomed to doing.
Fortunately, there are now many inspectors who offer multiple options on their reports. They are aware that there are alternative solutions available and therefore provide the choice of different methods to address the mold issue. This allows individuals to have more flexibility in deciding how to remediate the mold problem, rather than being limited to only one approach.
