How do I check a mold company in Pennsylvania?
Most home improvement contractors in Pennsylvania must register with the Office of Attorney General. The rule applies to contractors who do $5,000 or more of home improvement work a year.
- The registration number appears as “PA” plus a number on contracts, estimates and ads.
- You can check a registration by calling the Attorney General at 1-888-520-6680.
- Registration is not an endorsement or a quality rating.
- Contracts must be in writing, with the price, start and finish dates, a description of the work and your cancellation rights.
How getting help works
SEPA Mold Removal is a free referral service, not a mold company. You describe the problem in the form, and independent local mold companies contact you to set up an inspection or a quote.
Questions to ask the company that comes out
- What is your Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration number?
- Which mold certifications does your crew hold, such as IICRC AMRT or ACAC?
- Will I get a written scope covering containment, HEPA filtration and how the moisture source gets fixed?
- Is the inspection or testing done by an independent assessor, separate from the company doing the removal?
- How will you confirm the job is finished? Ask about post-remediation verification or clearance testing.
- Can you send a certificate of insurance and your warranty terms in writing?
Pennsylvania mold questions
Ask any company for its Pennsylvania home improvement contractor registration number. Registration is required for most home improvement contractors and is checked through the Attorney General.
Cleaning and removal alone usually don’t need a building permit, but rebuild work such as new drywall, framing or electrical can. Ask your township or borough office.
Start with your landlord in writing, then your local township, borough or city code office. Some counties also take housing complaints.
