Mold Testing
safer air quality
Did you know indoor air quality is the leading cause of asthma in children and respiratory illness and disease in adults? You may want to test for mold in your home if:
you can see visible mold
you notice a musty odor
there are water stains on walls, ceiling or flooring
you or your family have an unexplained illness
you or your family are suffering from non-seasonal allergies
you are moving into a new property
Mold testing can help determine if elevated mold levels are present and what kind of mold there is. We can perform both air sampling and surface sampling.
While mold testing is not a guarantee, it can provide information to make more informed decisions regarding the safety of a home.
Mold testing
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.
