No — in fact, most mold problems start invisibly. Air testing can detect elevated mold spores even when there are no visible signs. If you're noticing symptoms like stuffiness, headaches, or musty smells, it may be worth testing.

The issue with most DIY mold kits is that they only tell you what type of mold is present — not how much is in your air. But mold spores are everywhere — we breathe them daily without problems. What really matters is whether the levels in your home are elevated enough to pose a risk.

That kind of measurement requires professional-grade equipment and accredited lab analysis — which is what we provide. It’s the difference between guessing and knowing.

Our pricing starts at $395 for an in-home inspection, which includes one lab sample. Additional samples are $59 each. We also offer lower-cost testing options for smaller concerns — we’ll help you decide what’s best during a free consultation.

The in-home inspection typically takes 45–60 minutes. You'll receive your lab-certified results and a clear, jargon-free report within 1–3 business days.

We’ll explain your results clearly and help you understand next steps — no pressure. We don’t offer remediation services, so our only goal is to give you honest, unbiased information.

Common mold-related symptoms include chronic congestion, sneezing, coughing, headaches, fatigue, and irritated eyes. If your symptoms improve when you leave home (like during a vacation or weekend away), mold could be the cause. Testing your air is the best way to find out.

“Black mold” often refers to Stachybotrys chartarum, which can appear as dark green or black patches. However, not all dark mold is toxic, and some harmful molds are nearly invisible. A lab test is the only reliable way to know what you're dealing with.

Yes, mold can return if the moisture problem that caused it isn't fully resolved. That's why accurate testing — before and after remediation — is key to making sure the issue is really gone.

Absolutely. Mold can affect property value, and undisclosed issues can lead to legal trouble. A professional mold test gives buyers confidence and helps sellers avoid surprises during escrow.
