Mold Inspection & Testing in Simi Valley
Independent mold inspection and testing in Simi Valley, with no remediation company attached to the results.
What We Look For in Simi Valley
Most Simi Valley homes are tract houses built from the 1960s through the 1980s, with newer neighborhoods along the edges of the valley. The valley runs hot in summer and cold on winter nights, so attics, ducts and older windows go through big temperature swings that produce condensation. Original plumbing in the older tracts is now reaching the age where pinhole leaks show up inside walls. Homes along the foothills deal with storm runoff. We look for the moisture source first and sample only where results will help.
Valley Heat and Aging Plumbing in Simi Valley Homes
Simi Valley is just over the Santa Susana Pass from our home base in West Hills. Many homes here are fifty or more years old, so water heaters have often been replaced while supply lines, shower pans and slab plumbing may not have been. Hot summers push air conditioners hard, and attic ducts that leak cool air can sweat onto insulation. Converted garages and room additions are common, and the joint between the original house and an addition is a frequent leak point. We check bathrooms, kitchens, additions, attics, garages and exterior walls near sprinklers.

Mold Testing FAQs for Simi Valley
Is Simi Valley in your service area?
Yes. Simi Valley is a short drive from our West Hills base through the Santa Susana Pass. Call (818) 658-9336 any time. The line is answered 24/7.
We had a room addition built years ago and it smells musty. What do you check?
Additions often leak where the new roof or wall ties into the original house. We check those transitions, the ceiling and wall surfaces and moisture levels, then sample if the source is not obvious.
Do you test for mold after a slab leak?
Yes. After a slab leak is repaired, flooring, baseboards and lower drywall can stay wet. We measure moisture and can sample to document conditions for you, your plumber or your insurance adjuster.
How much does a mold inspection cost in Simi Valley?
The professional mold inspection is $49, and it is waived if you proceed with testing during the visit. Testing is priced and approved by you before any samples are taken.
Do you do the repairs if you find mold?
No. We only inspect and test. If repairs or remediation are needed, you choose your own contractor, and our report tells them where the problem is.
We Test. We Do Not Remediate.
Just Mold Testing is an independent inspection and testing company. We do not perform mold removal in Simi Valley or anywhere else, and we never will. The company that finds the mold should not be the company that profits from removing it.
You get a written report with the laboratory data, an explanation of what the numbers mean, and practical next steps. If remediation is needed we tell you exactly what to ask a contractor for, then we are happy to return afterwards for independent post-remediation verification.
