It's The Law
Construction laws are different in every state, but in Louisiana, you must hold a Mold Remediator's license to perform any Mold-Related work valued over $1.Â
If you perform work without a license, you risk subjecting yourself to fines and even criminal charges. In Louisiana, performing work as an unlicensed contractor can result in being charged with a misdemeanor, and penalties can be up to $500/day for each day the violation occurred or up to 3 months in prison.

In Louisiana, any Mold Remediation project over $1 in labor and material costs requires a licensed professional. Unless you are performing the work on your own home or building that you own, a license is necessary to perform any mold-related services.
Mold Remediation projects commonly cost thousands of dollars, and can easily go into the tens of thousands. Adding Mold-Related Services to your business's offerings will give you a higher earning potential by opening up a new market and new projects to you and your team.
