Horizon Point Inspections

Before you hire anyone to inspect for mold in Cincinnati, check three things. First, verify they hold IICRC S520 certification and carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance - Ohio doesn't require statewide licensing, so these credentials matter. Second, understand that inspectors who also do remediation work have a built-in conflict of interest, since they profit from finding problems. Third, know that a standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region, so you can spot pricing that's way out of line. Horizon Point Inspections is one option to consider as you shop around.

Cincinnati's older housing stock (median home built in 1951) combined with the area's humidity and rainfall means mold is a real concern here. When you're ready to call, make sure whoever you hire will give you an unbiased inspection and a clear written report. Before you sign anything, ask whether the inspector performs remediation work, and if they do, get a second opinion from someone who doesn't stand to profit from the results.
