Professional Mold Inspection and Testing Services
If you spot mold or suspect that mold may be present in hard-to-see places, the first step in a mold remediation is to inspect and test for the presence of mold. This initial step will help determine if you have mold, what type, and to what extent. Inspection and testing will properly set the stage for a successful mold remediation.

Mold Inspection & Testing Process
A mold inspection is usually just a visual inspection but may include the use of cameras and a moisture meter to determine if a particular area we cannot see is wet and therefore might be harboring mold. Even if we can see the mold, we will perform a thorough inspection in all the places mold is known to grow to make sure we can assess the full extent of your mold problem.
A typical mold inspection involves the inspector talking to the property owner about any areas where they have seen mold, or where there have been moisture problems or water damage in the past. The inspector will go over the house thoroughly, looking in places known to be prone to mold growth. If there is a chance mold is growing in an inaccessible space, the inspector may have to damage a section of drywall or remove paneling to get a better look. If mold is detected, the inspector will try to find the source of the moisture that is causing the mold and talk to the homeowner to develop a remediation plan.
Mold testing attempts to identify what specific type of mold is in your home and how many mold spores are in the air. Keep in mind that all indoor spaces have mold spores that drift in from outdoors, so mold tests will generally provide a long list of species, most of which are not actually growing in your home, but we are able to identify which are problematic and require remediation. The EPA has set no guidelines for an acceptable amount of mold or mold spores in a house.
Mold Testing Air Quality
The primary method used when testing for mold is sampling air in your home or building. From air samples we are able to identify which types of mold spores are present and the extent of their quantity.
Mold Testing Equipment
We use state-of-the-art mold testing equipment that can accurately identify mold spores in the air.
Mold Testing Lab
In certain circumstances, we may send testing materials to a lab for further analysis in helping to identify and assess the extent of a mold situation.
Mold Testing Results
We look over the mold testing results to lay out a proper mold remediation plan. These results allow us to properly assess the scope and proper solution to a mold problem.
