Axium Home Inspections

Mold inspections in Atlanta typically cost between $200 and $600, depending on your home's size and the scope of the work. Older homes, like the median Atlanta house built in 1979, sometimes need extra attention since they may have more hidden moisture issues. The region's climate - averaging 72% humidity and 50 inches of rain annually - creates conditions where mold can develop if water damage goes unaddressed.

Before you hire anyone, know that Georgia doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so you'll want to verify they hold IICRC S520 certification and carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance. This matters because inspectors who also do remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest - they're incentivized to find problems that require their services. Ask whether your inspector performs remediation, and if they do, consider getting a second opinion from someone who only inspects.
