Questions
What owners ask before the call.
Do we need a special license to offer mold testing?
It depends on your state. Some states license mold assessors and some don't. We review your state's requirements during the discovery call and build them into your implementation.
Do we have to do remediation?
No. You test. Positive results go to a vetted restoration partner, and we schedule the appointment. Staying out of remediation is what makes your result trustworthy.
How does the referral fee work?
Restoration partners pay Mold Launch a disclosed referral fee for positive test leads. Your company doesn't take a cut, so your recommendation to the homeowner stays impartial.
What if most tests come back clean?
Many will, and that's fine. The test is a paid service either way, and a clean result from a company the homeowner trusts is a good outcome for everyone. We walk through realistic numbers for your market on the call.
Does it work with FieldRoutes?
Yes. We add the service to FieldRoutes as part of the build-out. If you use a different CRM, tell us on the call.
What does it cost?
Implementation is free for our first 10 partner companies. Testing equipment is purchased separately, up to about $1,500. Ongoing ad management is priced on the call based on your market.
What happens on the discovery call?
About [X] minutes. We learn how your company runs, look at your customer base, and show you what the program would look like for you. If it's not a fit, we'll say so.
Where this is going
Right now, you're early.
Within the next 5 years, pest companies will be the go-to for mold testing. The ones who start first get the most time to build value by being different.
You are here
The first 10 pest companies get full implementation free.
After the 10th company, implementation is $15,000.
