Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

How much does a mold inspection cost?

Visual inspections with moisture mapping typically run $300-$500. Air quality testing with lab analysis adds $400-$800 depending on the number of samples (we recommend 2-3 interior samples plus 1 exterior baseline). Pre-purchase inspections for real estate transactions range $500-$1,000 for comprehensive assessment. Many remediation projects include free initial inspections—contact us for details.

Can mold inspections detect hidden mold?

Yes, using thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature differences caused by moisture, moisture meters to measure hidden water in walls and ceilings, and borescope cameras to inspect inside wall cavities. Air sampling also detects elevated spore counts from hidden sources. However, invasive inspection (cutting drywall) may be needed for definitive confirmation in some cases.

Do I need mold testing or just remediation?

If mold is visible and the source is known (roof leak, plumbing leak), testing may not be necessary—just proceed with remediation. However, testing is recommended for: health symptoms without visible mold, pre-purchase inspections, post-remediation clearance, insurance or legal documentation, or identifying specific mold species. We'll advise on the most cost-effective approach for your situation.

How long does mold testing take?

On-site inspection and sampling takes 1-2 hours. Air samples are sent to an accredited lab for analysis, with results returned in 2-3 business days. We provide a detailed written report with spore counts, species identified, comparison to outdoor baseline, and recommendations for remediation if needed.
