Surprising Fact

In most cases when obvious visible mold is present, mold testing is NOT needed. Why? Because the steps to properly remove the mold are the same regardless of the type of mold you have. In these cases, if you have obvious visible mold, we can just give you a Free Quote to remove it.

When should a mold inspection and mold testing be considered?

Here are common scenarios when a mold inspection with testing can be very useful:

• You don’t see mold, but smell something that seems like it’s mold

• You had a recent plumbing leak or water issue and suspect mold counts might be elevated

• Mold remediation has been done and you want to verify the mold problem is gone

• You have health concerns and cannot pinpoint the issues (doctors often will recommend a mold test here)

• You need it for a real estate transaction

• You have general concern about your indoor air quality

• Landlord/tenant disputes

Our Mold Inspection Process

Our mold inspections and testing service includes the following 5-point process:

1. A full assessment of the home. We are looking for not only mold but also water damage because mold requires water or moisture to grow.  We use specialized equipment like moisture meters and/or infrared cameras to check for water damage in hidden places like behind walls.

2. We take indoor samples, which may include air samples, surface samples, or a combination of both.

3. Samples are FedExed overnight to a 3rd party lab. The Lab takes 1-2 business days to process the samples once they receive them.

4. We email you a copy of the lab results and a written inspection report 2-3 business days after your Inspection appointment. In our written report, we document what we found during the inspection and we explain the lab results in plain English so you can understand what they mean.

5. If our Inspection and lab results determine that there is a mold issue, we can also fix the mold problem. In these cases, your written report will also include a Free Quote to fix the problem. If you hire Moldman to fix the mold issue, we will deduct the cost of the inspection from the Quote price.

Tip: Don’t waste money on at-home mold testing kits because they give you incomplete information.  They can tell you what types of mold you've got in your home, but do not do a good job of telling you if the amount of mold in your home is abnormally high or not, what is causing it or how to fix it.
