What a mold inspection includes
Mold can put both your health and your building at risk. Whether you can see it, smell it, or only suspect it, a mold inspection gives you a thorough answer.
Inspection and assessment
We inspect the property with a focus on the places mold likes most, such as bathrooms, kitchens, attics, crawl spaces, and HVAC systems, and use moisture detection and infrared scanning to help find mold you cannot see.
Air and surface sampling
We capture airborne spores with specialized equipment and take swab or tape-lift samples from any visible growth or suspect areas.
ERMI testing and lab analysis
Samples go to a certified laboratory, which identifies the types of mold present and measures their concentration.
Results explained
We go over the findings with you in plain language, so you understand the risks and the next steps.
Report and documentation
You receive a detailed report with the test results, the affected areas, and our recommendations.
Remediation referrals and verification
If remediation is needed, we can connect you with trusted professionals. Afterward, we offer post-remediation testing to confirm the issue has been resolved.
How a mold inspection works
Four steps, from the first walkthrough to a report you can act on.
Inspection and assessment
We walk the property looking for visible growth, water damage, and musty odors, then check the usual trouble spots: bathrooms, kitchens, crawl spaces, attics, HVAC systems, and anywhere that has leaked before. We also ask about any symptoms the people in the building have noticed.
Sampling
We collect air samples with specialized equipment, swab or tape-lift any suspect surfaces, and take humidity and temperature readings to see whether conditions favor mold growth.
Lab analysis
A certified laboratory identifies the mold species in each sample and measures the spore levels inside your property against an outdoor baseline sample.
Report and next steps
You get a written report with the lab results, our inspection notes, and clear recommendations. If remediation is needed we can refer you to professionals we trust, and we can retest afterward to confirm the problem is gone.

How much does a mold inspection cost in Los Angeles?

I can already see mold. Do I still need testing?
Testing tells you things you cannot see: what type of mold it is, whether spores have spread into the air in other rooms, and how far the problem goes. The lab report also gives you documentation for a landlord, an insurance claim, or a remediation company.
What is the difference between air sampling and surface sampling?
Air sampling captures the spores floating in a room and compares them with the air outside your building. Surface sampling uses a swab or a tape lift on a specific spot to identify what is growing there. Most inspections use both.
What is ERMI testing?
ERMI stands for Environmental Relative Moldiness Index. It is a DNA-based lab analysis of settled dust that screens for 36 mold species. Because dust builds up over time, it can point to a mold history that a single air sample might miss.
What happens if you find mold?
Your report explains what was found and where, and lays out the recommended next steps. If the property needs remediation we can refer you to professionals we trust, and once the work is done we can retest to verify that it worked.
