At Mold Inspection & Testing (MI&T), we believe property owners deserve clear and transparent information about mold inspections and testing services. Every inspection includes a thorough evaluation performed by trained inspectors using professional equipment and laboratory analysis when appropriate.
Because pricing can vary depending on the size of the property, location, and the scope of testing required, detailed pricing information is available on our main website.
Below is an overview of the services typically included with our inspections and testing packages.
What Is Included With an MI&T Mold Inspection
Our mold inspections are designed to provide a complete assessment of potential mold and moisture issues within a property. Each inspection focuses on identifying conditions that may allow mold to grow and documenting any concerns discovered during the evaluation.
Typical inspections include a detailed visual evaluation of the property along with the use of specialized diagnostic equipment.
Visual Inspection of the Property
An MI&T inspector will conduct a thorough walkthrough of the home or building to evaluate areas that may be affected by mold or excess moisture. This includes examining areas where mold commonly develops, such as bathrooms, kitchens, HVAC systems, attics, basements, crawlspaces, and other moisture-prone areas.
The inspector looks for signs such as:
Visible mold growth
Water staining or discoloration
Evidence of past or present leaks
Damp building materials
Musty or unusual odors
Conditions that may promote mold growth
This visual inspection is a critical first step in understanding the environmental conditions within the property.
Moisture Detection and Diagnostic Tools
Because mold growth is almost always related to moisture, identifying the source of moisture is an important part of the inspection process.
During the inspection, MI&T inspectors may utilize specialized tools such as:
Professional moisture meters
Thermal imaging cameras
Hygrometers to measure humidity levels
Infrared technology to detect hidden moisture patterns
These tools help inspectors locate moisture issues that may not be visible on the surface, such as leaks inside walls or elevated moisture within building materials.
Air Sampling (When Requested)
Air sampling is one of the most common testing methods used to evaluate mold levels within a property. Samples are collected using specialized equipment that captures airborne particles.
These samples are then sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis. The laboratory identifies the types of mold spores present and provides a comparison between indoor and outdoor air samples.
Air sampling can help determine whether indoor mold spore levels are elevated and whether further investigation or remediation may be appropriate.
Surface Sampling
If visible mold growth is observed during the inspection, surface samples may be collected to identify the type of mold present.
Surface sampling methods may include:
Tape lift samples
Swab samples
Bulk material samples
Laboratory analysis can identify the specific mold species present on surfaces within the property.
Accredited Laboratory Analysis
All samples collected during an MI&T inspection are analyzed by independent, accredited laboratories that specialize in environmental microbiology.
Laboratory reports typically include:
Identification of mold species
Spore counts and concentrations
Comparison between indoor and outdoor samples
Additional observations from laboratory technicians
This information provides objective data that can help property owners understand the environmental conditions within their building.
Detailed Inspection Report
After the inspection and laboratory analysis are complete, MI&T provides a comprehensive report documenting the findings.
Reports generally include:
Photographs taken during the inspection
Moisture readings and observations
Laboratory test results (when samples are collected)
Areas of concern identified during the inspection
Recommendations for addressing moisture issues
Our reports are designed to be clear and easy to understand for homeowners, property managers, and real estate professionals.
Independent Mold Inspection
MI&T focuses solely on mold inspection and testing services. We do not perform mold remediation or cleanup services.
This separation allows us to provide objective evaluations without any financial incentive related to remediation work.
Many property owners prefer an independent inspector because it helps ensure that the findings and recommendations are based solely on the environmental conditions present in the property.
Mold Inspections for Different Situations
Our services are commonly requested for a variety of situations, including:
Suspected Mold Problems
If you notice musty odors, visible mold, or signs of water damage, an inspection can help determine the extent of the issue and identify potential sources of moisture.
Real Estate Transactions
Buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals often request mold inspections to evaluate properties prior to closing and ensure that environmental concerns are identified early.
After Water Damage
Following leaks, floods, or plumbing failures, mold inspections can help determine whether mold growth has developed as a result of moisture intrusion.
Indoor Air Quality Concerns
Some clients request inspections when occupants experience allergy-like symptoms or when indoor environments feel damp or uncomfortable.
