What happens if we see or smell indications of mold?

We provide an infrared moisture inspection at kitchens, bathroom and other interior plumbing fixture and appliance locations, using the same equipment and process as the mold specialists. This service can be expanded for an extra fee that is based on the size of the home to include the interior floors, walls and ceilings that are not obstructed by cabinets, furniture, wall hangings or other personal belongings. Mold does not grow without adequate moisture and proper conditions. Indications of mold like substances that we observe or smell is noted in the report. The difference between our services and that of a mold professional is that as certified home inspectors we are not considered mold experts and we are not allowed to instruct how to repair or remedy mold or interpret lab results.

Mold Testing

We do offer mold testing, which may be the next step if indications of mold are observed with the eyes or nose. An infrared scan of the interior of the home and mold testing can be performed during the course of the inspection. Air tests are typically taken: A sample is taken at the exterior as a control to compare to the interior test or tests. Air tests may be taken at separate areas of the home or just at an area of concern. Swab samples may also be taken at areas of visible mold like substances. Swab test results indicate if and what type of mold(s) are present. The samples are sent to the lab with results being available in 5-7 business days after the inspection. Each test with lab analysis is $175.
