Best Choice Home Inspections

Before hiring anyone for mold inspection in Cincinnati, check three things: whether they hold IICRC S520 certification, proof of general liability and pollution liability coverage, and crucially, whether they also do remediation work. If they do both, that's a conflict of interest - they have financial incentive to find problems and sell you the fix. Ohio doesn't require statewide mold remediation licensing, so these credentials matter even more. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200 to $600 in this region, so you want someone independent and qualified.

Cincinnati's humid climate (averaging 68% relative humidity and 42 inches of rain yearly) makes mold a real concern, especially in older homes like many here built around 1951. Best Choice Home Inspections is a mold inspector serving the area, but before you call, verify they don't also offer remediation services. You want an inspector who'll give you honest findings without a financial stake in selling you additional work. Ask directly: "Do you perform mold remediation, or do you only inspect?" Get their answer in writing before you schedule anything.
