# Verified Remediation

> Find mold remediation professionals near you. Every listing is identity-checked, with state licenses, insurance, and reviews verified where available.

Verified Remediation is a mold remediation marketplace that connects homeowners
with verified mold professionals. We aggregate fragmented state licensing
databases, industry certifications (IICRC, NORMI), and insurance compliance into
a single source of truth.

## What "verified" means here

Listings carry up to three signals. Which ones are available depends on the
state and on the provider, so these are reported per listing rather than
claimed for the catalog as a whole:

- **State Licensed**: Only a handful of jurisdictions license mold work (FL, NY,
  TX, LA, DC). In those, license records come from the state's own database
  (FL DBPR, TX TDLR, NY DOL) and expirations are tracked daily, so a lapsed
  license does not sit on the site looking current. Most states do not license
  mold work at all, and this signal is unavailable there.
- **Insured**: Pollution liability and general liability, confirmed from a
  certificate of insurance. Verified for a minority of listings, not all.
- **Rated**: Google rating of 4.0+ with at least 5 reviews.

## Provider Tiers

- **Tier A (Clinical Grade)**: Licensed + Insured + Rated (4.0+ stars, 5+ reviews)
- **Tier B (Advanced Verified)**: Licensed + Insured, insufficient reviews yet
- **Tier C (Verified Pro)**: Licensed only, or identity-verified in states that
  do not license mold work

## Coverage

- 19,600+ providers across all 50 states + DC
- City-level pages for 100+ metro areas
- Both mold remediation and mold assessment/testing professionals

## Key Distinction

We explicitly separate mold assessors (testing) from mold remediators (removal)
to educate consumers about conflict of interest: the company that tests for mold
should not be the same company that removes it.
