TALON Home Inspections

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different services, and here's why it matters: inspectors identify and document mold problems, while remediation companies fix them. When the same company does both, there's a built-in conflict of interest - they're motivated to find expensive problems and sell you their services to fix them. That's why industry standards recommend keeping these roles separate. TALON Home Inspections handles the inspection side in Lexington, giving you an unbiased assessment of any mold issues in your home.

Lexington's humid climate (averaging 70% relative humidity and 45 inches of rain annually) means mold can be a real concern, especially in older homes like many of the ones built around 1983 that fill the area. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region. Once you have TALON's findings, you'll want to hire a separate remediation contractor if needed - make sure they're IICRC-certified and carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance, since Kentucky doesn't require a specific mold remediation license. Before you commit to any work, verify that whoever you hire has those credentials in writing.
