Elite Safety Property Inspections, Inc

Before hiring anyone for mold inspection in Akron, ask whether they also do remediation work. If they do both, that's a red flag - they've got a financial incentive to find problems and sell you the fix. You'll want to verify they hold IICRC S520 certification and can show proof of general liability and pollution liability insurance. Since Ohio doesn't require a statewide mold remediation license, those credentials matter even more. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region, so you'll also want to get quotes from multiple inspectors to compare.

Akron's climate - with 70% relative humidity and regular rainfall - creates conditions where mold can take hold, especially in older homes like many of the ones built around 1954 that dot the city. Elite Safety Property Inspections, Inc is listed as a mold inspector in Akron and can be one option to consider. Before you sign anything, ask the inspector directly whether they perform remediation work or partner with remediation companies, and request written proof of their insurance and certifications.
