Mold testing
A musty smell, a leak that never quite dried, or someone who keeps feeling worse indoors. These are all real signs worth looking into. Testing tells you whether mold is actually the cause, and exactly where it's growing.

The usual suspects
Where we look first
Mold doesn't spread evenly through a building. It follows water, so these are the spots we check first and where sampling tells us the most.
Crawlspace Attic Bathrooms Under sinks HVAC returns Behind baseboards Window frames Basement walls

A musty or earthy smell you cannot trace
Visible growth on drywall, trim, ceilings or in a crawlspace
A roof leak, plumbing leak or flood that was dried in a hurry
Allergy-type symptoms that ease when you leave the building
Buying, selling or renting a property and needing documentation

How it works
What to expect
Walkthrough
We go through the history of the building with you, look at the areas of concern, and check for moisture that would explain growth.
Sampling
Air samples inside, a comparison sample outside, and surface samples where growth is suspected, each labeled by location.
Lab analysis
Samples are analyzed by an accredited independent laboratory so the findings are not coming from the person who took them.
Report
A written report with the results, what they mean for your building, and a specific plan for correcting the problem.
The deliverable
What you’ll get
A written finding, not just a verbal opinion. It's documentation you can act on, send to your insurance carrier or hand straight to a contractor.

On the job
What it looks like on site
Every visit gets documented in detail. These are the kinds of conditions a mold inspection turns up, and the kind of photos that end up in your report.

Got questions?
Straight answers to the questions people ask most. Don’t see yours? Just call.
Can I just use a store-bought mold kit?
A settle-plate kit will grow something almost anywhere, because mold spores are in all indoor air. What matters is the type and the concentration compared to outdoor air, which needs a calibrated sample and a lab.
I can already see mold. Do I still need a test?
Sometimes not. Visible growth may be enough to move straight to a plan. Testing still helps when you need documentation, when symptoms do not match what is visible, or when you need to know whether spores spread into clean-looking areas.
What does testing cost?
It depends on the size of the property and how many samples the situation calls for. Call with the address and what you are seeing, and we will quote it before anything gets scheduled.
