Mold Inspection and Testing

There is always some mold around. It can easily move through open doors and windows, ventilation systems, and can even be brought in on your cloths or pets!  It may grow where there is moisture and a food source, such as paper, cardboard, wood, ceiling tiles, wallpaper, insulation, carpet, and much more. Our testing and in-depth mold inspections will help find the issues and determine if mold may be affecting your air quality. Don't let black mold scare you. We utilize state of the art equipment such as infrared thermal imaging cameras and highly accurate moisture meters to help determine the extent of your situation. We are not affiliated with any contractors or insurance companies and are a completely independent 3rd party inspector.  Our results are available in 1-2 business days covering both residential and commercial projects.

 

Individuals or businesses who suspect mold growth in their building or home should call to schedule a professional mold inspection as soon as possible. The inspector can assess the extent of the mold growth, identify the type of mold present, and recommend appropriate remediation measures to prevent further damage and protect the health of the occupants. Mold growth can spread quickly and cause structural damage, as well as pose health risks, so it is important to take action promptly. By contacting a professional mold inspector, individuals can gain peace of mind and take steps to ensure the safety and well-being of themselves and others in the building.

 The inspector shall report:

• moisture intrusion;

• water damage;

• results of a laboratory analysis of all mold samplings taken at the building

​

Limited Mold Inspection

The limited mold inspection does not include a visual examination of the entire building, but is limited to a specific area of the building identified and described by the inspector. As a result, moisture intrusion, water damage, musty odors, apparent mold growth, or conditions conducive to mold growth in other areas of the building may not be inspected.

 The inspector shall describe:

 The inspector shall perform:

• a limited non-invasive visual examination of the readily accessible, visible, and installed systems and components located only in the room or limited area

The inspector shall report:

• moisture intrusion,

• water damage,

• musty odors,

• apparent mold growth, or

• conditions conducive to mold growth; and

• results of a laboratory analysis of all mold samplings taken at the building

​

Mold Testing

Mold testing is included in both of the mold inspections listed above. It can also be added to a general home inspection as an "add on" service. Testing consists of a minimum of three air samples. More air samples can be added as needed to properly test the structure. Additional air, swab, or tape samples can be added as needed for $100 per sample. (Discounts are available for multiple samples.) The cost of same day shipping to the lab and all of the lab fees are included in the price of inspections and testing.​
