Kelley Klean

Kelley Klean holds a 4.9-star rating across 201 Google reviews as a mold inspector in Columbia. Before you hire them or any inspector, know that Columbia's humid climate (averaging 68% relative humidity and 43 inches of rain annually) creates real conditions for mold growth, especially in homes like many here that were built in the early 1990s. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region, so get that estimate upfront.

Here's the key thing: find out whether Kelley Klean only inspects or also does remediation work. If they do both, that's a conflict of interest under industry standards - they have financial incentive to find problems that require their services. Instead, look for an inspector who sticks to inspections alone, then hire a separate contractor for any remediation needed. Before you sign anything, verify that whoever you choose has IICRC certification and appropriate general liability insurance.
