lic. gen. contractor
Inspectors don’t resolve mold issues. They only confirm them.
Contacting the health department will also confirm mold issues. They don’t solve problems, they only identify them and make suggestions on what has to be done.
Contact a General Contractor.
See that they’re licensed and insured. Anything being done to your home to correct the mold issue is their responsibility when they sign on to do the job.
The General Contractor will identify what needs to be done to solve the mold issues AND will handle all the repair work which includes having building inspectors check over their work.
They’ll pull the permits, order the materials… Everything.
Another suggestion is to contact your insurance agent and have them appraise the damage. If the damage has occurred by someone building your home incorrectly, the builder (General Contractor) is responsible to fix it… Depending on how long ago they built it and the laws in your area.
