The Inspection Company

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two very different services, and it's important they come from separate companies. An inspector's job is to find mold and identify moisture problems objectively. A remediation company fixes those problems. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to find more mold or recommend bigger fixes than necessary. That conflict of interest can cost you thousands in unnecessary work. The Inspection Company handles inspections in Akron without doing remediation, keeping their findings honest and unbiased.

Akron's humid climate (averaging 70% relative humidity and 37 inches of rain yearly) makes mold a real concern, especially in older homes like the median house built in 1954. A mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and protects you from surprises later. Once you have The Inspection Company's report, you'll know exactly what you're dealing with and can get fair quotes from separate remediation contractors. Before hiring any company to fix the problem, verify they have IICRC S520 certification and proof of both general liability and pollution liability insurance.
