If you’ve ever had a company look at your vents and instantly say, “You have mold,” you’re not alone.
Unfortunately, some air duct companies use that claim to scare homeowners into paying for expensive “mold removal” add-ons that go way beyond a normal duct cleaning. The good news is Oklahoma has a law that helps protect homeowners from this exact situation.
That law is Oklahoma Statute Title 15, §15-765.4, and it gives homeowners leverage when a company tries to “identify mold” and then upsell a bigger-ticket cleanup.
The Mold Upsell Tactic Homeowners Should Watch For
Here’s the common pattern we hear about:
- A company claims they “identified mold” in the air duct system
- They say it requires immediate “mold removal” or special treatment
- The total bill jumps far above a standard duct cleaning price
This approach relies on fear and urgency, not clarity. Homeowners deserve better.
What Oklahoma Law Says
Oklahoma law generally prevents a company from inspecting for mold and then also providing mold removal, unless the combined cost of the inspection and removal is $200 or less.
That matters because it discourages the “diagnose it and sell the fix” model, especially when the “fix” is an overpriced add-on.
Where Better Air Duct Cleaning Is Different
Let’s keep this clear:
Better Air Duct Cleaning does not provide mold inspections, and we do not identify mold in your air duct system.
We clean air ducts. That’s what we do, and we do it at a fair, normal price.
Why does that matter? Because when a company “identifies mold” and then turns around and sells the removal, they create a conflict of interest. We don’t operate that way. We focus on straightforward duct cleaning without using mold claims to inflate the bill.
If Mold Is a Concern, Here’s the Right Process
If a homeowner truly suspects mold, the best path is:
✅ Have a qualified third party evaluate and identify the issue
✅ Then, if needed, Better Air Duct Cleaning can clean the duct system at our standard duct cleaning price
This keeps things honest and protects homeowners from paying more than they should.
