We will take you step-by-step through an inspection process. What are your options if your house is deemed infected for remediation? We will tell you of the only sure way to make sure your home is remediated to avoid repeated remediation. Even if the building is not infected, a house that has been certified healthy by a qualified drywall inspector can protect your real estate value and give you solid piece of mind.
