Five places a house hides problems. We test every one.

The whole house

Almost nothing we test for is visible from the middle of the room. It is behind the drywall, inside the ductwork, under the old flooring.

Tap a number or a button to zoom in
Moisture behind the wall

Water tracks inside a cavity long before it shows on the surface. A moisture meter finds it while the drywall still looks fine.

Mold testing →
Mold inside the HVAC

Ductwork moves air into every room. Growth on a coil or a damp return spreads spores through the whole building.

Mold testing →
Lead around an old window

Sashes rub every time they open. In a home built before 1978 that friction turns old paint into dust on the sill and the floor.

Lead testing →
Asbestos in older materials

Floor tile, mastic, pipe wrap, textured ceilings. Left alone it sits there. Cut or sanded during a renovation, it goes airborne.

Asbestos surveys →
Bacteria on surfaces

After a sewage backup or standing water, contamination stays on porous surfaces long after everything looks and smells dry.

Bacteria testing →

What we test

Five tests. One inspector.

Pick the one that matches what you are seeing, or call and we will point you to the right one.

Mold testing

Air and surface sampling to confirm whether mold is present, where it is coming from, and how far it has spread.

Good for musty odors, visible growth, post-leak checks Read more

Asbestos surveys

Building inspections and bulk sampling of suspect materials before renovation or demolition, documented for permitting.

Required for most pre-renovation & demolition work Read more

Lead testing

Paint, dust and material sampling in older properties so families, landlords and buyers know what they are dealing with.

Common in homes built before 1978 Read more

Bacteria testing

Sampling for bacterial contamination after sewage backups, standing water and other unsanitary losses.

Typical after Category 3 water damage Read more

Allergen testing

Sampling for common indoor allergens when someone in the building keeps reacting and no one can say why.

Helpful for ongoing symptoms at home or work Read more

Common questions

Questions people ask us

Quick answers to the things people most often want to know. Don’t see yours? Just call and ask.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?

If the building is older and you are cutting, sanding or demolishing materials, almost always yes. A certified building inspector identifies suspect materials and samples them so the work can proceed safely and legally. Send us the address and scope and we will tell you what applies.

Will you tell me if I do not need anything?

Yes. Plenty of inspections end with “fix the leak, run a dehumidifier, you are fine.” If that is the answer, that is what the report says, and you will not be pushed toward work you do not need.

How quickly will I get my results?

Most reports are back with you within 24 to 36 hours of the samples reaching the lab. If a job is unusually large or the lab needs a specialist analysis, we will tell you that up front rather than leaving you waiting.

Who actually reads my samples?

An NVLAP accredited independent laboratory, not us. The lab reports the numbers, and we explain in plain English what they mean for your building and what, if anything, to do next.

What does a report include?

Every report has the lab results by location, photos from the visit, a plain-language explanation of what the numbers mean, and a plan for what to do next, written so you can hand it to a contractor, an insurer or a tenant. The details depend on the test:

  • Mold: sample results and photos, and a correction plan any contractor can use.
  • Asbestos: each material, where it is and its result, with chain-of-custody documents and guidance on which materials need abatement, ready for your permit application.
  • Lead: results by sampled location, which surfaces are affected, and safe-work precautions for renovation or occupancy.
  • Bacteria: results by location, the water category for the loss, and a cleaning and removal plan.
  • Allergen: results by room, affected areas compared with unaffected ones, and reduction steps ranked by impact, which you can share with a physician.
I can see mold already. Should I still test?

Sometimes visible growth is enough to move straight to a plan. Testing still helps when you need documentation for a claim or a sale, when symptoms do not match what is visible, or when you need to know whether spores have spread into areas that look clean.

How long does an inspection take?

It depends on the size of the property and the number of samples. A typical home inspection is a single visit, with lab analysis following afterward. We will give you a time estimate when you book.

Do you work with insurance claims?

We provide documented reports and photographs that you can submit to your insurer or attorney. Coverage decisions are made by your carrier, but clear third-party documentation is the strongest thing you can hand them.

Get in touch

Request an inspection

The phone call costs nothing. Tell us about the property and what you're seeing or smelling, and we'll tell you plainly what it needs, if anything, along with next steps and pricing. Reports usually land within 24 to 36 hours of sampling.
