When Homeowners Call Us

  • Musty or earthy odors

  • Past leaks, flooding, or roof issues

  • Visible staining on walls, ceilings, or framing

  • Ongoing allergy-like symptoms at home

  • Before or after remediation work

In many cases, testing confirms that conditions are normal or that only simple preventive steps are needed.

What a Home Mold Inspection Includes

1. On-Site Visual & Moisture Assessment

  • Walk-through of relevant areas

  • Non-invasive moisture measurements of building materials

  • Identification of conditions that could support mold growth

2. Air & Surface Sampling

  • Indoor air samples compared to outdoor baseline

  • Surface samples when visible staining or moisture history exists

  • Samples analyzed by an accredited laboratory

Sampling is targeted and intentional — not “test everything and see what sticks.”

3. Clear, Written Report & Guidance

  • Lab results explained in plain English

  • Room-by-room context

  • Practical next steps based on findings

  • Documentation suitable for homeowners, buyers, sellers, or contractors

What We Don’t Do (By Design)

  • ❌ We do not receive referral fees from remediators

  • ❌ We do not recommend unnecessary work

Why this matters:
Our only incentive is accuracy. You get unbiased results and guidance — nothing more, nothing less.
