Discovery Inspection Services

Discovery Inspection Services holds a 4.9-star rating across 239 Google reviews, a strong signal in Anchorage's challenging climate. With average humidity at 77% and 18 inches of annual rainfall, mold risk runs high here, especially in homes built around 1982 (Anchorage's median age). That rating reflects real homeowners' experiences in a region where moisture problems are common. If you're concerned about mold in your home, a professional inspection typically costs $200 to $600 and can catch problems before they become costly.

Before you hire, verify that Discovery Inspection Services is registered with Alaska's Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing, as required for contractors in the state. Look for inspectors certified by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) and confirm they carry appropriate insurance. One important caveat: if an inspector also performs mold remediation, that creates a conflict of interest under industry standards, since they profit from finding problems. Request a standalone inspection from someone without a financial stake in the remediation work.
