National Inspection Service of Indiana

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different services, and it matters that they stay separate. An inspector's job is to find mold, test it, and tell you what you're dealing with. A remediation company fixes the problem. When the same outfit does both, they have a reason to find mold even when it's minor, or to recommend expensive fixes you might not need. In Evansville, where homes average over 68% humidity and older construction (the median home was built in 1959), mold can definitely show up. That's why getting an independent inspection first makes sense. National Inspection Service of Indiana handles the inspection side, which typically runs $200-$600 in this region.

Once you have a clear inspection report, you can shop around for remediation if it's needed. If you do hire National Inspection Service of Indiana or any other company for the actual mold work, make sure they carry general liability insurance and follow IICRC S520 standards. Indiana doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so those two things are your safeguards. Before you sign anything, ask to see proof of their insurance and confirm they follow the IICRC standards.
