We offer mold testing as an add on service with residential home inspections.  If we suspect mold during a home inspection, we will call to ask if you would like to add a mold test at a discount.  

One page of a sample report is pictured to the left.  Reports include:

• Easy-to-Read, color-coded lab results

• Mold types down to the genus level

• Indoor mold concentration levels compared to outdoor mold concentration levels in order to determine whether the submitted samples are Normal, Slightly-Elevated or Elevated.

• Recommended actions based on lab analysis results

• Next testing date for seasonal and routine air quality testing

1. Health Risks Mold exposure can lead to various health problems, including respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and aggravation of asthma. Identifying and addressing mold early can prevent these health risks and ensure a safer living environment. 

2. Hidden Mold Mold often grows in hidden areas like behind walls, under floors, or in HVAC systems. These hidden colonies can cause significant damage over time if not detected. Mold testing helps uncover these hidden issues before they escalate into more serious problems. 

3. Property Value A home with undetected mold can lose value. Potential buyers may be deterred by mold issues, leading to reduced marketability and potential financial losses. Mold testing provides a clear understanding of any issues and helps maintain the value of your property. 

4. Insurance and Liability If you’re selling your home, undetected mold can lead to disputes or insurance claims from new owners. Mold testing provides documentation of the home's condition, protecting you from future liability.
