Linkhorn Home Inspections

Columbus's humid climate and older housing stock create ideal conditions for mold growth. With average humidity around 70% and nearly 40 inches of rain annually, most homes built before the 1970s are particularly vulnerable to moisture problems. When you suspect mold in your Columbus home, Linkhorn Home Inspections can help you understand what you're dealing with. A mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and gives you the facts you need before deciding on next steps.

One important thing to know: inspectors who also perform mold remediation have a built-in conflict of interest, since they profit from finding problems that need fixing. Before you hire anyone, ask whether they do both inspection and remediation work. If they do, consider getting a second opinion from an independent inspector. Also verify they carry general liability and pollution liability coverage, and look for IICRC S520 certification - signs they take their work seriously and understand what they're doing.
