Marsh View Home Inspections LLC

Wilmington's climate works against your home. With 76% average humidity and nearly 58 inches of annual rainfall, mold finds ideal conditions here. Add in the fact that the median Wilmington home was built in 1987, and you're looking at older construction that's had decades to develop moisture problems. Marsh View Home Inspections LLC offers mold inspection services in the area, but before you call, understand an important conflict of interest: inspectors who also perform remediation have a financial incentive to find problems. This puts their objectivity in question.

When you're comparing options, ask potential inspectors whether they do remediation work themselves. If they do both inspection and remediation, you'll want a second opinion from someone with no stake in the repair contract. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region, so budget accordingly. Before signing anything, verify that whoever you hire holds a general contractor's license from the NCLBGC and carries appropriate insurance, since North Carolina doesn't require a specific mold remediation license.
