If you have found mold in your home or business, you want it gone quickly, safely, and for good. Below you will find a directory of independent mold remediation and removal companies working across Indiana, from the Ohio River valley up to the Lake Michigan shoreline. At Mold Inspection & Testing (MI&T), we help Hoosiers approach that cleanup with clear eyes: we provide independent mold inspection and testing, and we offer this directory as a free courtesy so you can find qualified remediation professionals near you.
Choose your city or region below to see independent mold remediation companies serving your part of Indiana.
Before you hire anyone to remediate, consider an independent mold inspection. Because MI&T performs inspection and testing only, and never remediation, the company that assesses your mold problem has no financial stake in how much cleanup work gets sold.
We want to be transparent about our role. MI&T does not perform mold removal or remediation, and we do not earn a commission from the companies listed here. Our work is limited to independent inspection, sampling, and laboratory testing. We publish this directory as a public courtesy so Indiana property owners, renters, and managers can compare local remediation providers in one place and make an informed choice.
Indiana sits in a humid continental climate zone with warm, humid summers, which means indoor moisture is a year-round concern. According to the NOAA Indiana State Climate Summary, the state averages roughly 40.5 inches of precipitation per year, ranging from about 37 inches in the north to 47 inches in the south. Spring and summer precipitation has generally run above average since the 1990s, and the wettest recent five-year stretch (2015–2019) averaged more than 47 inches. All of that water has to go somewhere, and too often it ends up in basements, crawl spaces, and wall cavities where mold thrives.
Flooding is a recurring driver of mold across the state. Indiana has a long history of damaging floods along the Ohio River and the Wabash River, from the Great Flood of 1913 to the 2008 flooding that affected 39 counties. NOAA also reports that Indiana has seen an increase in extreme 2-inch rainfall events since 1990, and flash flooding from those downpours can saturate a home in hours. Near Lake Michigan, communities such as Gary and South Bend contend with lake-effect moisture, while severe storms and tornadoes, part of Indiana’s long and deadly tornado history, can breach roofs and windows and let water in.
Housing age adds to the risk. Older neighborhoods in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Gary, and Evansville include many homes with original basements, aging drainage, and dated ventilation. Combine damp Midwestern summers with an older housing stock and you have ideal conditions for hidden mold growth, which is why testing before and after remediation matters so much here.
This is one of the most important things to understand before you hire: Indiana does not license or register mold remediation contractors or mold assessors at the state level. There is no state mold credential to check, no state mold-remediation exam, and no state mold license number to verify. In fact, Indiana does not issue a statewide general-contractor license at all; construction and trade licensing is handled locally, by individual cities and counties such as Indianapolis. A contractor who is properly licensed in one municipality may not carry the same credential in another.
Because the state does not set a mold-specific bar, the responsibility to vet a remediator falls to you. We suggest focusing on the things that do signal competence: voluntary professional certification (for example, IICRC training), current general-liability insurance, verifiable references, written scope-of-work documents, and, critically, independent verification testing performed by someone other than the remediation company. Confirming local licensing or permitting requirements with your city or county building department is also worthwhile.
Indiana has no mold-specific rental statute and no law requiring landlords to disclose past mold to prospective tenants. Instead, tenant protections flow from general habitability law. Under Indiana Code Title 32, Article 31, and specifically IC 32-31-8-5, a landlord must deliver the rental premises in a safe, clean, and habitable condition, comply with all applicable health and housing codes, and keep supplied systems such as plumbing, heating, and ventilation in good and safe working order. A serious moisture or mold problem that renders a unit uninhabitable can fall within these obligations.
That said, tenant remedies in Indiana are relatively limited compared with some states. Indiana has no statutory repair-and-deduct remedy, and rent withholding carries real legal risk, so a tenant often has to give the landlord notice and, if the problem is not fixed, pursue the matter through the courts, including small claims court for smaller amounts. Independent inspection and laboratory testing can be valuable here because it creates objective, third-party documentation of conditions and dates. This is general information only and is not legal advice; for your specific situation, consult a qualified Indiana attorney.
Even without a state license to lean on, there is a widely recognized professional playbook. A strong Indiana remediator should:
Ask any contractor how they handle each of these before signing.
A baseline inspection and test document what you actually have before any cleanup begins, so the scope of work is based on evidence rather than a sales pitch. You can schedule independent inspection and testing with us at https://moldinspectionandtest.com/indiana.
Ask for a certificate of general-liability insurance and confirm any licensing or permitting your city or county requires. Because Indiana licenses trades locally, requirements differ between, say, Indianapolis and a smaller town.
A good proposal spells out containment, the source of moisture being corrected, materials to be removed, and cleanup methods. Get it in writing, along with any workmanship guarantee.
Have the finished work checked by someone other than the remediator. Independent clearance testing is the objective way to confirm the job succeeded before you close the walls back up.
Use the directory on this page to browse independent mold remediation companies serving Indiana communities, from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville to Gary, South Bend, and Bloomington. Mold Inspection & Testing (MI&T) provides independent inspection and testing only, so the assessment that guides your project stays separate from the company doing the cleanup.
No. Indiana does not license or register mold remediation contractors or mold assessors at the state level, and there is no statewide general-contractor license. Construction and trade licensing in Indiana is handled locally by cities and counties, such as Indianapolis. Because no state mold credential exists, we suggest looking for voluntary certifications like IICRC, proof of liability insurance, and independent post-remediation testing.
Indiana has a humid continental climate with humid summers and roughly 40.5 inches of precipitation a year statewide, ranging from about 37 inches in the north to 47 inches in the south. Flooding along the Ohio River and Wabash River, an increase in heavy 2-inch rainfall events since 1990, damp basements, lake-effect moisture near Lake Michigan, and older housing stock all give mold the moisture it needs to grow.
Indiana has no mold-specific rental statute or landlord mold-disclosure requirement. Under Indiana Code 32-31-8-5, landlords must deliver and maintain rental premises in a safe and habitable condition and comply with applicable health and housing codes, which can extend to moisture problems that make a unit uninhabitable. Tenant remedies in Indiana are relatively limited, with no statutory repair-and-deduct, so tenants often must pursue the matter in court. This is general information, not legal advice.
Look for a contractor who works to the ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation, follows U.S. EPA mold-cleanup guidance for containment and moisture control, and sends any samples to an accredited laboratory, such as one accredited through AIHA. Independent post-remediation verification testing helps confirm the work succeeded.
When the same company both inspects and remediates, there is a built-in incentive to find and bill more work. MI&T only inspects and tests; we never sell remediation. That independence gives you an objective baseline before the project and unbiased verification after it, so you can confirm the cleanup actually worked.
