What to Expect During Our Free Mold Inspection
Consider our mold inspection services as the first step in identifying potential mold risks in your property.
First Call
When you reach out to us, we’ll start by discussing your concerns and why you think you may have mold. We’ll also ask about your property’s history of moisture issues or previous mold problems to better understand your situation. Based on this information, we’ll schedule an on-site visit with one of our certified inspectors.
Inspection
Our mold inspector will carry out a comprehensive visual inspection of the interior and exterior of your property. This includes inspecting areas prone to mold growth, checking for visible mold stains, and identifying potential issues such as foundation cracks, blocked weep holes, other condensation issues, plumbing leaks, and more.
Findings and Next Steps
At the end of our visit, we’ll discuss our observations with you, including the confirmed or potential presence of mold and possible causes. Depending on the situation, we may recommend air quality testing, further inspection of walls, floors or ceilings, or immediate mold remediation.
What Happens If We Can’t Confirm the Presence of Mold?
Mold isn’t always visible during a standard inspection. If we can’t confirm its presence right away, a follow-up visit may be needed. This could include:
- Air Sampling: We take air samples to be analyzed by an accredited lab to confirm the presence of mold and identify mold types and concentration levels.
- Deeper Structural Inspection: With your approval, we may gently probe or remove small sections of drywall, baseboards, or flooring in suspected areas to check for mold growth inside.
- Moisture Meters: We measure moisture levels in walls, ceilings, and floors to identify potential leaks or hidden condensation problems.
These additional steps help ensure we detect and address any mold issues effectively.

The Importance of Mold Inspection
Having your property inspected can help detect mold where it hides so that it can be remediated as quickly as possible. In addition to posing a health risk, mold can also compromise the structural integrity of your home or property over time, so you must act quickly. By detecting moisture and mold early, you can avoid costly repairs and ensure a healthier living or working space for everyone.
