For home inspectors
A cost answer for your buyer, the day you find mold.
Your client's first question after "is it bad" is "what will it cost." Link one page in your report. They get published cost bands and a plain list of next steps, and you stay inside your scope.
Paste it into your report template
Use the link on its own, or the full sentence in the comment you already write for suspected growth. Edit the sentence to match your standards of practice and your state's rules.

A report sentence
Conditions consistent with possible microbial growth were observed in the area noted. Further evaluation by a qualified mold professional is recommended. For published remediation cost ranges and next steps, see moldestimates.com/mold-found-during-inspection.
What your client sees
Published cost bands
Remediation by location in the home, a mold inspection at $300 to $800, and a typical job at $1,200 to $3,750. Every figure is sourced.
Four steps before the deadline
Find the end of the inspection period, order a mold inspection, get a written scope, decide with the agent.
What to ask the seller for
Past reports, remediation scopes, the invoice for the moisture fix, and clearance reports.
Your scope, respected
The page explains that home inspectors flag conditions and that mold is usually outside a home inspection. It points the client to a specialist for the next step.
Built to keep your report clean
Many states limit what a home inspector can recommend, and some license mold assessment and remediation separately. A cost reference with no fee and no contractor name is information your client can use without you vouching for anyone.
Your licensing board sets the rules. Read them before you add any link to a report.
-
No money moves
We never pay inspectors, and inspectors never pay us. There is no referral fee, no revenue share, and no account.
-
No company in your report
The link names a cost page, not a contractor. Your report recommends further evaluation, the way it already does.
-
Disclosed placement
Where a remediation company is featured in a market, it pays ThriveUp LLC for that placement, and the buyer page says so in plain words next to the form.
-
The same numbers for everyone
The bands come from published national data with sources named on every page. They do not change based on who the client calls.
Questions people ask
Does linking this page count as a referral?
The page is a cost reference, not a contractor recommendation, and no fee changes hands. Inspector rules differ by state, and your licensing board sets what you can recommend. Read your state rules before adding any link to a report.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Paste the link or the sentence into your report template. There is nothing to register and nothing to track.
Do you know which inspector sent a client?
No. The link carries no code, and requests record only the page they came from. We built it that way on purpose.
Can real estate agents use the same page?
Yes. Buyers' agents use it the same way: one link that answers what it costs and what happens next before the inspection period ends.
What if a figure looks wrong for my market?
Every regional multiplier on the site is 1.0 because no primary source publishes a local mold price index. If you have a sourced figure, email [email protected] and we check it against the sources.
