Drytech

Drytech carries a 4.9-star rating across 237 Google reviews, which matters in Birmingham's climate. With 71% average humidity and 54 inches of rain yearly, plus homes built around 1965 on average, moisture problems are common here. That rating suggests the company has handled the mold and water issues typical of older Birmingham properties. When you're deciding whether to call, that track record is worth noting.

Before hiring, know that Alabama doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so verify Drytech holds IICRC S520 certification and current general liability insurance. You should also be aware that Drytech is listed as a mold inspector - and inspectors who also perform remediation work create a conflict of interest under industry standards, since they have financial incentive to recommend their own services. For a mold inspection alone in this region, expect to budget $200 to $600. Ask whether you'd get an independent assessment, or consider getting a separate inspection before any remediation quote.
