    Mold Inspection and Testing

    Free Visual Mold Inspection – The First Step

    A visual mold inspection is a non-invasive, surface-level evaluation of your property. This is the first step in identifying potential mold issues and assessing the need for professional remediation.

    What’s Included in Our Free Visual Inspection?

    • Thermal Camera & Moisture Meters – Detect hidden moisture sources that could encourage mold growth.
    • Identification of Visible Mold Growth – Looking for discoloration, water stains, and musty odors.
    • Assessment of Water Damage Areas – Inspecting high-risk zones like bathrooms, kitchens, attics, and HVAC systems.
    • Professional Recommendation for Next Steps – If mold is suspected, we can provide a remediation quote based on our findings.

    No samples are collected, and no lab testing is involved—this inspection is designed to help you determine if further action is needed.

    Mold Testing – When You Need Scientific Data

    A mold test goes beyond what the eye can see. This scientific process provides detailed data about the type and concentration of mold present in the air or on surfaces.

    What’s Included in Mold Testing?

    • Air and/or Surface Sample Collection – Samples are gathered from various areas of concern.
    • Lab Analysis by a Certified Facility – Determines the species of mold and its concentration levels.
    • Detailed Written Report & Health Risk Assessment – Identifies whether the mold is potentially toxic or allergenic.
    • Often Required for Insurance & Real Estate Transactions – Some policies and buyers require official documentation of mold presence.
    • Licensed Mold Assessors Perform Testing – iMold does not conduct mold testing but can recommend trusted, licensed professionals.
