Mold Testing

Mold Testing

Indoor mold development and the underlying moisture problem can mean serious and costly property damage and health implications. If you are concerned about a potential mold problem in your residential or commercial property, you should consider contacting a trained mold professional. Having your home inspected by a professional mold inspector is the first step to diagnosing the problem. A trained and certified mold inspector will be able to identify the mold problem, determine the cause of the problem and prescribe an effective solution.

We will take air and/or surface samples of suspected areas to be tested by a 3rd party lab. Our inspection and lab results will be used to generate a high-quality report to help assess the condition of your home and provide recommendations to reduce conditions that promote future mold growth.

Through mold testing we will be able to determine if you have elevated indoor mold counts, how elevated and what species of mold is present. If you suspect indoor mold growth in your home, basement, attic, crawl space or commercial building, or if you are concerned about black mold or toxic mold, call The Inspection Company today!

Sampling Measures

Your Mold Testing and Water Intrusion Evaluation will include three air samples. Additional surface or air samples can be added for an additional $60/Sample.

  • Air Sampling: We will take one outdoor baseline test. Two indoor air samples. These tests will also be analyzed by a lab to verify if the sample is mold or other forms of fungal growth. These results are also provided by a lab report.
  • Surface Sampling: We utilize surface swabs and tape testing methods to extract a sample from a surface. These tests will also be analyzed by a lab to verify if the sample is mold or other forms of fungal growth. These results are also provided by a lab report.

Your Report

You will receive a written report of your property that contains information and recommendations to improve the conditions found that are conducive to mold growth within 24 hours of completing your inspection.

Typically, we receive lab results back within three to four days of the inspection. Once received, we will update your written report to reflect their analysis and attach their Lab Report to your online customer portal. We will either email and/or call to ensure you are fully updated and answer any additional questions you may have.
