The Mold Inspection Process
There are two types of mold inspection – complete and limited. Complete mold inspection includes a visual assessment of the whole building, its components and its systems; measuring of humidity, temperature and moisture; and gathering of mold samples.
In contrast, the limited type focuses only in inspecting a specific part of the building. Mold samples are also taken for laboratory analysis.

Our inspectors will report musty odors, water damage, moisture intrusion, mold growth, conditions that are favorable to mold growth and findings from laboratory analyses of mold samples gathered from your house.
The whole process takes 5 steps.
- -We will give you a questionnaire where you will answer questions pertaining to past and current problems encountered. Specific questions are about visible molds observed, condensation or humidity, moldy odors, issues, leaked roofs, and plumbing leaks.
- -The second phase involves the visual inspection. It is when we go to all accessible areas of the house and search for water penetration and presence of molds. Special tools such as moisture meters, hydrometers, borescopes and thermometers will be used.
- -Sampling is done in the third step. Here, we collect air samples. We do air sampling because molds disperse their spores into the air. By doing this, we can make sure that even those molds hidden from sight can still be detected. We will take samples from both your indoor and outdoor air.
- -The fourth step is sampling analysis which we do in our laboratory. We identify the types of molds gathered and come up with a rough estimate of the number of spores per cubic meter of air.
- -Then, we give a report of our findings. You will receive an email from us containing digital images and information spore levels, mold types and locations of molds in your home.
Tools & Equipment Used
We use special tools and personal protection equipment (PPE). We use a flashlight to check dark corners and enclosed spaces. To check for wet areas, we use a moisture meter.
We also bring a digital camera to take pictures of sampled surfaces. For possibilities of moisture penetration, we use an infrared camera. A humidity gauge is necessary for checking areas with unusually high humidity. To check mold growth behind walls, a borescope is used. With this instrument, we can inspect walls without damaging the drywall.
