Who Are The individuals That Will Actually Perform The Work?

One of the most important questions to ask when interviewing a Mold Remediation Company is about their employees – are they well trained and certified? At Next Generation, every affiliate is trained, certified and receives continuing education. However, you should also understand who performs the inspection and verification steps in the Mold Remediation process:

Certified Mold Remediator
Usually called a CMR, this person handles the initial inspection and analyzes the gathered information. After the physical removal of the mold, the CMR does another inspection to evaluate the status of the property and ensure all removal is complete.

Indoor Environmental Professional
The IEP is sometimes called in after the initial inspection if further assessment of the property is needed before actual remediation can begin. They return AFTER the CMR has done the post-remediation evaluation to perform a verification, which is a signed form stating the remediation was successful and is complete.

What Chemicals And Equipment Will Be Used?

There are a lot of different chemicals and process used to remove mold. Over the years, Next Generation has developed products so successful and safe that we back them up with a written warranty. But how do Next Generation's products stack up against everything else that's out there?

From Negative Air Machines to HEPA vacuums, there are specific pieces of equipment used in the Mold Remediation process. For more information on what it takes to actually remove mold from a property, check out our Mold Remediation Equipment breakdown.

What Kind Of Costs Can You Expect?

Both the initial inspection and the remediation will cost you money. However, due to the chance of finding "unseen" mold, you may not know the final cost until the mold remediation project has been completed. Be aware of companies that provide you a quote based ONLY on the mold they see – you may be surprised when you get your final bill!

At Next Generation, this won't be a problem becuase our philosophy is to ensure there are no hidden costs for our customers.
