GuardianPro

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and here's why it matters: an inspector's job is to find and document mold, while a remediation contractor's job is to remove it. When the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend bigger, more expensive cleanup jobs. That's a conflict of interest. In Louisville, where humidity averages 69% and older homes (the median was built in 1966) are prone to moisture problems, getting an unbiased inspection first is smart. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and gives you clear, honest information before deciding on next steps.

GuardianPro operates as a mold inspector in Louisville, which means they're positioned to give you an objective assessment without a stake in the remediation work. When you call, ask whether they hold IICRC certification and carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance - those credentials matter in Kentucky, where specific mold remediation licensing isn't required. Before signing anything, verify that GuardianPro's role is inspection only, not remediation, so you know their findings are truly in your corner.
