Mold services in Ann Arbor
Inspection, cleanup, drying and building repairs can be different jobs. Start with the guide that matches your question, then confirm the actual scope with a qualified professional. These are information guides, not a list of services currently bookable through this site.
Five existing guides, different purposes
Choose the subject you need to understand
Mold inspection and testing
Distinguish a moisture assessment, sampling and laboratory analysis. Agree the inspected areas, report contents and limits before booking.
Read the guide →02Basement and crawl space mold
Questions about water entry, humidity and affected materials. Cleanup, waterproofing and structural repairs are different scopes to clarify.
Read the guide →03Attic mold and roof ventilation
Prepare questions about roof, exhaust and ventilation conditions. An attic stain is not by itself a diagnosis of the moisture source.
Read the guide →04Water damage drying and material removal
Understand drying and material-assessment questions. For active flooding or unsafe conditions, contact appropriate help directly; this site cannot dispatch a crew.
Read the guide →05Rental property mold and compliance questions
Find Ann Arbor housing resources and distinguish a tenant complaint, private assessment and cleanup proposal. A contractor does not issue the city certificate.

Which question are you trying to answer?
What is causing the concern?
Start with inspection and moisture assessment when you need to understand a stain, odor, known leak or earlier report. Ask what can be inspected, what remains hidden and what documentation is included. The EPA explains why sampling is not routinely needed for visible mold; do not assume every investigation requires a laboratory test.
Is the issue in a basement or crawl space?
The basement and crawl-space guide discusses moisture questions. Mold cleanup is not automatically waterproofing, encapsulation, structural repair or a dehumidifier installation. Ask which of these, if any, the professional proposes and is qualified to provide.
Is there staining in the attic?
Use the attic and ventilation guide to prepare questions about roof, airflow and exhaust conditions. Staining alone does not establish a ventilation fault or rule out a leak. Do not enter an unsafe attic to collect information.
Is water damage active or recent?
The water-damage guide explains drying and material questions. Active leaks, flooding or safety concerns need appropriate help directly; this site does not dispatch crews. EPA emphasizes correcting water problems and drying affected items, and identifies contaminated water as a reason to involve experienced professionals in its home cleanup guidance.
Is this a rental-housing complaint?
Read rental-property information and Ann Arbor's official tenant resources. The housing-code complaint process, a private inspection and a remediation contract are separate matters. This site does not issue compliance certificates or provide lease advice.
For an existing proposal
Check where one service ends and another begins
A proposal should make clear who investigates the moisture, who performs cleanup, who handles any underlying repair and who replaces removed building materials. Ask about exclusions rather than assuming one price covers every stage.
Use the eight-point remediation comparison and two-quote worksheet. They help you record differences without estimating a price, recommending a treatment or sharing your documents with this site.
The Michigan homeowner guidance covers specifications, credentials and building-work agreements. Check requirements for the actual work, not just a company's marketing label.
