Streamline Inspections

Streamline Inspections holds a 4.8-star rating across 258 Google reviews, a strong track record in Columbia's challenging climate. With average humidity at 69% and 45 inches of annual rainfall, homes here - especially those built around the median year of 1977 - face real mold risks. That rating suggests the inspector has helped many local homeowners identify problems before they become costly. A standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs between $200 and $600, so you'll want to confirm pricing upfront.

Before hiring, verify that Streamline Inspections holds a current South Carolina Contractor's License and carries appropriate insurance. South Carolina doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so licensing through the SC Contractor's Licensing Board is your baseline check. One important caveat: inspectors who also perform remediation work create a conflict of interest under industry standards, since they may have financial incentive to recommend unnecessary work. Ask whether the inspector handles remediation or refers clients to separate contractors for that phase.
