  • 🔥 Thermal imaging to find temperature anomalies and hidden moisture

  • 🧪 Lab testing INCLUDED — choose either:

    • Two surface swab samples, or

    • One air sample + outdoor control

  • 📷 High-resolution inspection photos

This is a certified inspection plus real testing — perfect for homeowners, buyers, tenants, and real estate agents needing documentation and peace of mind.

When to Schedule a Mold Inspection

You should get a mold inspection if you’re experiencing any of the following:

  • Musty or earthy smells — especially in basements or closets

  • Visible staining, spotting, or discoloration on ceilings or walls

  • Recent water damage, roof leaks, plumbing backups, or flooding

  • You're buying or selling a home and want to avoid costly surprises

  • Your child, tenant, or loved one is having unexplained coughing or allergies

  • You had prior remediation and want to confirm the issue is resolved

  • You're starting a renovation or demolition and want to test disturbed areas

We’ve inspected homes before floor installation, during real estate deals, after floods, and even in brand new construction. No home is immune — but every problem can be identified early.

What Happens During a Mold Inspection?

Our process is thorough, non-destructive, and professional:

  1. Walkthrough & visual inspection – we look for visible mold, water stains, and at-risk areas

  2. Moisture readings – we scan walls, ceilings, floors, and HVAC for elevated moisture

  3. Thermal imaging – detects hidden water issues behind walls or ceilings

  4. Sample collection – your choice of:

    • Two surface swabs (of visible growth)

    • One indoor air sample with outdoor control

  5. Photos & documentation – all findings are photographed and explained

  6. Report delivery – within 3–4 business days

We’ll explain everything as we go, answer all your questions, and never pressure you into additional services.

What You’ll Receive After the Inspection

You’ll get a professional, easy-to-read inspection report delivered by email — typically within 24–48 hours.

Your report includes:

  • Areas inspected

  • Moisture readings

  • Thermal images (if applicable)

  • Photos of visible issues

  • Lab results from your included samples

  • Our certified opinion and next-step recommendations

This report can be used for:

  • Insurance claims

  • Real estate negotiations

  • Contractor bidding

  • Legal documentation

  • Or just your own peace of mind

Already See Mold? Here's What to Do

If you already see mold, it doesn’t mean you need expensive remediation — but you do need to find out why it’s growing, and whether it’s affecting other parts of your home.

In many cases, we find:

  • Mold growing from attic leaks or roof issues

  • Mold behind bathroom tile or around poorly sealed windows

  • Mold in HVAC closets, cold corners, or oversealed rooms with no ventilation

  • Issues caused by humidifiers, crawlspaces, or improper grading

We help you understand whether the problem is localized, spread, or environmental — and give you guidance on what’s actually needed (and what’s not).
