CHC Home Inspection

A mold inspection in Lexington typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on your home's size and the scope of testing needed. Older homes, like the median house here built in 1983, sometimes require more extensive inspection work. Lexington's climate - averaging 70% relative humidity and 45 inches of rain yearly - creates conditions where mold can develop, making inspections worthwhile if you've noticed signs of moisture or musty odors. When you're looking at mold services, CHC Home Inspection is one option to consider among local providers.

Before you hire anyone for mold work, it's smart to know that inspectors who also do remediation can face a conflict of interest under industry standards. Instead, look for IICRC-certified contractors who carry general liability and pollution liability insurance (Kentucky doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so these credentials matter). Ask any inspector you contact whether they perform both inspection and remediation work, and request references from recent clients before you commit.
