Professional Mold Inspection & Testing
Professional mold inspection identifies hidden contamination that visual inspection misses. Mold colonies often grow inside wall cavities, above ceiling tiles, beneath flooring, and in HVAC systems—releasing spores throughout the structure while remaining invisible.
Our inspection combines visual assessment, moisture mapping, and air quality testing. Air samples identify mold species and spore counts, helping determine contamination severity and appropriate remediation protocol. Post-remediation testing verifies successful removal.
Our Mold Inspection & Testing Process
- Visual inspection of all accessible areas
- Moisture mapping with thermal cameras and meters
- Identify water intrusion sources
- Collect air samples from affected and unaffected areas
- Collect surface samples from visible growth
- Send samples to accredited lab for analysis
- Receive results within 24-48 hours
- Provide detailed inspection report with findings
- Recommend remediation protocol based on results
Equipment & Technology
- Thermal imaging cameras (identify moisture patterns)
- Protimeter moisture meters with various probes
- Air sampling pumps and cassettes
- Surface sampling swabs and tape lifts
- Borescope for wall cavity inspection
- Lab analysis from AIHA-accredited laboratory
Pricing
Mold inspection with lab analysis runs $300-$600 for typical homes. Extensive inspection of large properties: $500-$1,000. Air samples: $30-$60 each (typically 3-5 samples needed). Surface samples: $20-$40 each. Post-remediation testing additional $200-$400.
Timeline
On-site inspection: 1-3 hours. Lab results: 24-48 hours. Full report delivered within 3-5 business days.
When You Need Mold Inspection & Testing
- Visible mold growth anywhere in home
- Persistent musty odors
- After any water damage incident
- Unexplained allergy symptoms at home
- Before purchasing a home (as part of inspection)
- After remediation to verify clearance
- Recurring moisture issues
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I test for mold myself?
Home test kits detect presence but don't measure concentration or identify species—nearly all environments contain some mold spores. Professional testing quantifies contamination and identifies problematic species.
Why test air if I can see mold?
Visible mold indicates active contamination, but air testing reveals total spore load throughout the space—critical for determining remediation scope and verifying successful cleanup.
What mold levels are dangerous?
Spore counts are compared to outdoor baseline. Indoor counts significantly exceeding outdoor indicate active contamination requiring remediation. Species matters too—Stachybotrys (black mold) requires immediate action at any count.
