Our Mold Inspection Process: What to Expect
The mold inspection process consists of several steps that aim to identify the presence of mold in a home or building. This section covers pre-inspection preparation, visual inspection, air sampling, surface sampling, laboratory analysis, and report interpretation.
PRE-INSPECTION PREPARATION
Before the mold inspector arrives, clear out any clutter in the affected area. Look for obstructions that may hinder their ability to access all areas in your home or building. Ensuring access to all areas that need inspection is critical for an accurate assessment of any potential mold growth. Turning on HVAC systems and closing windows is also necessary to prevent contamination during the inspection process.
We use highly precise equipment to test both air and surface conditions. In a residential setting, we take 1 to 4 samples. The number of samples we take depends upon the size of the home, the affected areas, and the surfaces being tested. Test results are typically available within 1 to 2 business days; however, a rush analysis is available for an additional charge.
If we detect mold, we’ll submit a suggested protocol for full mold remediation.
When Do I Need a Mold Inspection?
Many people are sensitive to mold. Exposure to mold can compromise your immune system and cause serious health problems including:
Look for Common Signs of Mold
Mold spores are everywhere! But do you have a mold problem? There are three common signs to look out for that reveal mold is likely present.
Visible Mold: Spotting mold is an easy way to know for sure that you have mold growing. Often mold is present but not visible. The danger with visible mold is that there is likely much more of it underneath the surface that you cannot see. If you spot mold, it is best to do something about it as soon as possible to prevent further growth.
Humidity & Condensation: High levels of humidity or the presence of condensation are signs that mold may be present. Mold tends to thrive in humid areas and can even live off the humid air. To avoid mold growth, keep the humidity levels low in your home if there is water damage. Condensation buildup is an indication that an area may be too humid.
Moldy Smell: If there are no visible signs of mold, you may still be able to smell it. An unusual stale smell is an indication that mold is present. If the smell gets stronger when using heat or air conditioning, it may mean mold is growing in your ventilation system.
Don’t ignore a musty odor. It might mean harmful mold is growing somewhere hidden from view.
Aspergillus parasiticus

Black mold exposure is very dangerous, but there are other molds that are just as serious.

What Causes Mold?
