Mold is not always visible, but it is always harmful if left unchecked. Whether you’re buying a home, recovering from water damage, or concerned about air quality, a professional mold inspection can reveal hidden problems and give you peace of mind.
A mold inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your property to identify hidden mold, measure moisture levels, and assess air quality. Mold specialists use a combination of visual inspection, infrared scanning, and surface or air sampling to detect contamination.

Hidden mold puts both your home and your family at risk. A professional mold inspection is a small investment that can save you from costly repairs, health issues, and legal disputes down the road.
A certified mold inspector, typically trained and accredited through organizations like IICRC or ACAC, will perform the inspection. They are equipped with the proper tools and expertise to identify both visible and hidden mold threats.
Most residential inspections take 1–2 hours, depending on the property size and whether sampling is needed. Large or complex homes may take longer.
No. Professional mold inspections are non-invasive. Inspectors use thermal imaging, moisture meters, and other tools to detect hidden mold without damaging your walls.
You’ll receive a detailed report with findings, photos, and lab results if samples were taken. Based on the results, the inspector may recommend remediation, repairs, or retesting to ensure your home is safe.
