H2H Inspector

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't come from the same company. An inspector's job is to find mold and report what they see, while a remediator fixes the problem. When one company does both, they have a reason to find more mold than really exists - so you'll pay more for work you might not need. That's why industry standards say these services should stay separate. In Lexington, where humidity averages 70% and rain totals 45 inches yearly, mold problems are real enough without that conflict of interest. H2H Inspector keeps things honest by handling the inspection side only.

When you're ready to hire someone for mold work in Lexington, start with an inspection from H2H Inspector to get the facts. A standalone inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region. Once you have their report, you'll know exactly what needs fixing. If remediation is necessary, hire a separate contractor - one with IICRC certification, general liability insurance, and pollution liability insurance (since Kentucky doesn't require a specific mold remediation license). Before you sign anything with any company, ask to see proof of those insurance policies.
