Home Commercial Inspections

Before hiring anyone for mold inspection in Columbus, ask whether they also do remediation work - if they do both, they have a financial incentive to find problems that may not need fixing. Second, verify they carry general liability and pollution liability insurance, and look for IICRC S520 certification, since Ohio doesn't require a statewide mold remediation license. Third, get a clear quote upfront, as standalone mold inspections in this region typically run $200 to $600. Home Commercial Inspections is one option worth considering, especially given Columbus's humid climate (averaging 70% relative humidity and 39 inches of rain yearly), which creates conditions where mold can develop in older homes like many of those built around 1966.

When you contact Home Commercial Inspections or any inspector, ask point-blank whether they perform remediation services as well as inspection. Request proof of their insurance and certifications before scheduling. A true inspector who only inspects - without also selling you the fix - gives you the honest assessment you need to make the right decision for your home.
