A mold and air inspection is a professional assessment of indoor environments to detect mold growth and airborne allergens like dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These inspections are especially important after water damage, during property transactions, or if occupants experience unexplained allergies or respiratory issues.
Getting a mold and air inspection helps protect your health by identifying airborne contaminants and hidden mold that can trigger allergies or respiratory issues. It’s especially important after water damage, leaks, or if you notice musty odors. Inspections can uncover mold growing behind walls or in HVAC systems—places you can't easily check yourself. They also help preserve your property and avoid costly repairs.
The length of a mold & air inspection can vary depending on the size and complexity of the building. Typically, a residential inspection can take up to 2 hours, while commercial inspections may take longer. Larger or more intricate properties may require additional time to ensure every detail is carefully reviewed.
Our detailed inspection report includes a comprehensive assessment of the property’s condition, highlighting any issues found, photographs, lab results, and an overall evaluation of the building’s systems and structure related to mold and saturation. The report is clear, concise, and easy to understand.
The cost of a mold & air inspection depends on factors such as the property size, property type, and the level of detail required. Please visit our cost of services section on the homepage or contact us for a custom quote based on your property’s specific needs. Our residential inspections start at $249 and commercial inspections start at $499.
While it’s not necessary for you to be present during the inspection, we recommend being available if possible to ask questions or address any concerns. After the inspection, we will provide a detailed report and schedule a follow-up to discuss the findings.
We recommend having a mold inspection at least once a year. Regular inspections help catch hidden mold growth early, before it becomes a costly or health-impacting issue.
You should also schedule an inspection immediately if:
-You've experienced water damage, leaks, or flooding
-You notice musty odors or visible mold
-You or your family have allergy-like symptoms at home
-You're buying, selling, or renovating a property
For properties with sensitive individuals (such as children, elderly, or those with respiratory conditions), inspections every 6 months may be beneficial.
