AMAC Home Inspection Services

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and there's a good reason they shouldn't come from the same company. An inspector's job is to find and document mold problems objectively. A remediation contractor's job is to fix them. When one company does both, they have an incentive to recommend expensive solutions you might not actually need. That conflict of interest is why industry standards say these services should stay separate. AMAC Home Inspection Services handles the inspection side in Akron, giving you an unbiased assessment of what's really going on in your home.

Akron's climate - with 70% humidity and regular rain - creates conditions where mold can take hold, especially in older homes like many built here in the 1950s. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region and gives you solid information to make your next move. If remediation is needed, you'll hire a separate contractor. Since Ohio doesn't require statewide licensing for remediation work, make sure any contractor you choose has IICRC S520 certification and carries both general liability and pollution liability insurance before you sign anything.
