24/7 Emergency Service
The Cleveland Better Business Bureau issued a warning to homeowners concerning choosing a company to perform black mold removal in their homes. BBB Director Ericka Dilworth reminds owners that mold removal is a job that requires specialized training and experience.
Background questions about any company need to be asked. Has the company technicians received any training on mold removal? Is the company registered to do business in the communities they serve? What kind of experience do they have? Are there any BBB complaints?
Steve Loparo contracted with a company to do mold remediation in his father’s Maple Heights home before looking into their background. He gave the company a $2,000 deposit before the work started. Once work did start there were several unnecessary delays and moldy debris was left lying around and not promptly removed. When Mr. Loparo questioned the company about having permits to do this type of work, he found out that they didn’t.
The Cleveland BBB knows of 10 complaints about the company, which have gone unanswered, and the company had recently changed its name in an attempt to keep the general public unaware of its past history.
