A bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom with mold on a wall or ceiling, plus the moisture source fixed.
Larger areas that need more containment and drying. Common here after spring rain or a slow leak.

What a mold inspection involves
A mold inspection is a systematic evaluation of a home for visible growth, moisture sources, and the conditions that foster future problems.
It goes beyond a simple visual check, utilizing tools like moisture meters and a detailed checklist of high-risk areas, with a firm price set when you call.
For independent guidance on mold, moisture, and safe cleanup, see EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home and CDPHE: Massachusetts Department of Public Health & Environment.

- Moisture meter readings across walls, floors and ceilings
- Thermal imaging where readings suggest moisture behind a surface
- Documented findings with photos, notes and a written scope
When an inspection is warranted
Visible mold is not a prerequisite. Common reasons include a persistent musty odor, a recent water incident, or a real estate transaction requiring clarity.
Inspections are also routine following repairs from plumbing or roof leaks, to ensure no issues remain behind sealed surfaces.
- Musty odor without a visible source
- Recent water damage, a leak, or a history of flooding
- Before finishing a basement or crawl space
- Real estate transactions where mold history is a concern
