Erie Inspection Service

A 5-star rating across 1438 Google reviews tells you that Erie Inspection Service has satisfied a lot of customers, but it doesn't tell you everything you need to know about hiring them. What matters more is understanding what services they actually provide and whether those services create any conflicts of interest. In Toledo, where homes built in 1955 are common and humidity averages 69% annually, mold can be a real concern - and you'll want an inspector whose only job is to find the problem, not to profit from fixing it.

Before you call Erie Inspection Service or any mold inspector in Toledo, ask whether they also do remediation work. If they do, that's a red flag under industry standards. You'll want an inspector who's independent. Check that whoever you hire holds IICRC S520 certification and carries both general liability and pollution liability coverage. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region, so get that estimate upfront and verify their credentials before you sign anything.
