R2 Property Inspections

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different things, and it matters that they stay separate. An inspector's job is to find mold and tell you what's there. A remediation company's job is to fix it. When the same business does both, they have a reason to find problems (and charge you to fix them), which creates a conflict of interest. That's why industry standards keep these roles apart. In Lexington, where humidity averages 70% and rain totals 45 inches yearly, mold can become a real concern, especially in older homes like many of the ones built around 1983. You'll want an independent inspector you can trust to give you straight answers.

R2 Property Inspections handles the inspection side of things, which means they're looking out for your interests without a financial stake in selling you remediation work afterward. When you're ready to hire them, expect to pay somewhere in the $200-$600 range for a standalone mold inspection in this area. Before you sign anything, ask them to confirm they hold general liability and pollution liability insurance, and verify whether their team includes IICRC-certified professionals. That background gives you confidence in what they find.
