Whether you’re dealing with mold, radon, water damage, or poor air quality, choosing the right mitigation company can make all the difference between a lasting solution and a recurring problem. Your home is too valuable and your health too important—to gamble on the wrong team.
At Mitigation Home, we’ve seen firsthand what happens when corners get cut. Here’s a guide to help you hire with confidence.
1. Look for Proper Certifications & Licensing
A reputable mitigation company should have industry certifications that prove they meet professional standards. These may include:
- IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification)
- NRPP or NRSB certification for radon mitigation
- State and local licensing for environmental or contractor work
These credentials ensure the company is trained in safe, legal, and up-to-code practices.
2. Ask About Experience in Specific Services
Not all mitigation companies do the same work. Some may specialize in water damage but outsource mold removal. Others may lack experience with high-end homes or newer construction materials.
Look for a company that offers in-house expertise in:
- Mold remediation
- Radon mitigation
- Water damage restoration
- Air quality testing and improvement
And make sure they’ve handled cases like yours before.
3. Read Reviews and Check References
Online reviews (Google, Yelp, Better Business Bureau) can reveal a lot about professionalism, punctuality, and customer service. Don’t be afraid to ask for:
- Case studies
- Before/after photos
- References from past clients
If they hesitate to provide proof of their work, that’s a red flag.
4. Evaluate Their Inspection Process
A good mitigation company will:
- Offer a thorough inspection (not just a quick glance)
- Use advanced equipment (like moisture meters or air quality monitors)
- Provide a detailed written estimate
- Explain your options clearly and honestly
Beware of companies that push unnecessary upsells or give vague pricing.
5. Prioritize Responsiveness and Support
Mitigation is often time-sensitive. Whether it’s a leak, flood, or mold outbreak, you need a team that responds quickly and communicates clearly.
Look for:
- Fast scheduling
- 24/7 emergency services
- A dedicated point of contact
- Transparent timelines
You should never feel left in the dark during the process.
6. Don’t Automatically Choose the Cheapest Option
Cost matters—but cutting corners now could cost you more later. Be wary of companies that underbid the competition without explaining why. Cheap materials, untrained labor, or rushed jobs can lead to repeat issues.
Choose a company that balances fair pricing with proven quality.
