A CRMI Certified Mold Inspector checks the problem area at your home or building. If you go ahead with testing during the visit, the $49 is waived, and you approve the testing and the price before any samples are taken.
Indoor mold growth is a sign of a moisture problem, and it can affect both property condition and, for some people, health.
Mold can grow inside walls, under floors, and in HVAC systems, completely out of sight.
According to the CDC, mold exposure can cause a stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing or wheezing, burning eyes, or skin rash. People with asthma or mold allergies may have severe reactions.
Mold can grow in places that are hard to see, such as inside walls, under flooring, and in HVAC components, especially after leaks or water intrusion. A musty odor or a history of water damage can be a reason to investigate.
Mold growth and the moisture that feeds it can damage drywall, wood framing, insulation, and flooring. Finding and fixing moisture problems early can limit the extent of repairs.
California sellers have disclosure obligations, and mold or past water damage can become a question during a transaction. An independent inspection gives buyers, sellers, and agents a documented record of the conditions observed.
Comprehensive mold and air quality testing services tailored to your situation.
When air sampling is appropriate, we collect measured indoor air samples, plus an outdoor comparison sample when it is part of the sampling plan, and send them to an independent laboratory that analyzes the airborne fungal spores and fungal structures captured in each sample.

Many companies that test for mold also offer remediation. Separating testing from remediation avoids a potential financial conflict, because the company evaluating the property does not profit from the remediation work that may follow.
When the same company tests for mold and also sells the remediation, there is a potential financial conflict between the findings and the work that may follow.
It can be harder for a property owner to judge whether a proposed remediation scope matches the documented conditions.
The evaluation and the sale of the work come from the same source.
An independent evaluation can be useful before approving a remediation scope.
