About this company
Indiana Mold Remediation is a mold-only company based in Castleton, Indiana, serving the broader Indianapolis area and much of the state. They've done nothing but mold since 2001 — no fire, no water, no pest work. That singular focus is uncommon. The staff claims over 75 years of combined experience across the team.
What stands out is the range of testing they offer beyond standard air sampling. They do mycotoxin testing using LC/MS methodology through a partnering lab, ERMI dust sampling, and surface tape lifts — all sent to independent third-party labs. They also offer free virtual inspections via Zoom, which lets you show them your problem areas before committing to an on-site visit. Their duct cleaning operation uses negative-air vacuums with HEPA filtration and rotating brush systems.
The company is family-owned and has built a client base that includes real estate agents, house flippers, government agencies, and universities alongside individual homeowners. They offer a one-year warranty on services and free 15-minute phone consultations. Their website is unusually educational — it includes DIY cleaning guides, links to EPA and CDC resources, and honest statements about when testing is and isn't necessary.
A perfect 5.0 rating across 149 Google reviews is rare for any service company. The volume suggests this isn't a small operation padding its score — repeat clients like real estate agents and house flippers account for multiple reviews, and several reviewers specifically note the no-pressure approach.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Castleton, Indiana (Indianapolis metro). They serve central Indiana as their primary area and claim statewide coverage. Reviews confirm work in the NWI (Northwest Indiana) region via virtual consultations. If you're outside the Indianapolis metro, confirm availability and any travel charges.
Review consensus
Brian Lester draws the most mentions — reviewers describe him as knowledgeable, patient, and willing to spend significant time explaining problems without pushing unnecessary work. Aaron (identified as Operations Manager Aaron David Lester in one review) gets praised for thoroughness during inspections, honest assessments, and a no-upsell approach. Noah is noted for prompt, efficient remediation work. Jill in the office is mentioned for quick response times and coordinating virtual consultations. Multiple real estate agents and house flippers describe Indiana Mold Remediation as their repeat-use company, specifically because the team doesn't use scare tactics to inflate prices. Several reviewers highlight the free virtual consultations and the detailed follow-up reports with links and explanations.
1 found across 149 total reviews at 5.0★. (1 found across 149 total reviews at 5.0 stars) The only recent low rating is a 2-star review from June 2025 that reads as entirely positive — the reviewer praised Brian's explanations and the detailed follow-up report, writing they wished they had called months earlier. The rating appears to be a mistake by a first-time Google reviewer. The owner responded warmly without addressing the star mismatch.
This company appears to be a family operation with Brian Lester and Aaron David Lester both in client-facing roles. The review pattern shows a business that generates referrals from real estate agents and contractors who use them repeatedly — Gary Apter mentions 30 years of house flipping and multiple uses, Fix This LLC calls them a repeat partner, and several realtors reference ongoing relationships. The owner responds to the sole negative review with a personalized, specific reply rather than a template.
Brian Lester (owner/consultant — praised repeatedly for knowledge, patience, honesty, and willingness to educate). Aaron David Lester (Operations Manager — praised for thoroughness, no-pressure approach, and clear explanations; noted as speaking some Spanish). Noah (remediation technician — praised for promptness and efficiency). Jill (office/scheduling — praised for quick response and coordination of virtual appointments).
With 149 reviews and a 5.0 rating, the complaint volume here is essentially zero — the one low rating is actually a positive review. Ask for Brian if you want a detailed consultation, or Aaron if you need an on-site inspection. Because they handle both testing and remediation, consider getting a second opinion on scope if the remediation quote is large.
Keep in mind
- They do both testing and remediation, which creates a conflict of interest — the company that tells you how bad the problem is also profits from fixing it. Ask whether you can use their test results with a different remediator, or bring in an independent tester to confirm their findings.
- Their address is in Castleton, but they claim to serve throughout Indiana. If you're outside the Indianapolis metro, confirm travel fees and response times before booking.
- The website says mold testing is often unnecessary, but reviews suggest testing is regularly recommended during visits. Ask upfront whether testing is needed for your situation and what it will cost.
- They offer crawl space encapsulation as an add-on after remediation. This can be a significant upsell. Get the encapsulation quote separately and compare it with dedicated waterproofing companies.
