A mold inspection looks for the moisture that feeds mold and for growth you cannot see. We use moisture meters and a thermal camera and check the usual spots. If mold is visible, testing is often not needed to start the fix. If it is hidden or you need records, we will explain testing options.
What to do right now
- Note where the smell is strongest.
- Do not open walls or disturb visible mold.
- Write down any past leaks or floods.
When is an inspection worth it?
- A musty smell with no visible mold
- A past leak or flood that may not have dried
- Allergy symptoms that get worse at home
- Buying or selling a house
- Checking that a past mold job worked
What we check
- Basement walls, floors and the area around the sump
- Under sinks and behind toilets and appliances
- Attic boards and insulation
- Window frames and exterior walls
- Around the furnace and ducts
We use moisture meters and a thermal camera. Wet materials often show up before mold does.
Do you need a lab test?
Not always. If mold is growing where you can see it, the plan is the same for every type: fix the water, remove the mold, dry the area. Testing helps when mold is hidden, when a landlord or buyer wants documentation, or when someone in the home has health concerns. We will tell you plainly which case you are in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mold inspection and mold testing?
An inspection looks for moisture and growth. Testing takes air or surface samples for a lab. Many homes need only the inspection.
Can you find mold inside walls?
We look for the moisture behind walls with meters and a thermal camera. Wet areas are where hidden mold grows.
Is mold testing required before removal?
Usually not when mold is visible. It can help when mold is hidden or documentation is needed.
How much does a mold estimate cost?
Mold estimates are free.
