Discuss what you noticed and any known water history.
EVIDENCE BEFORE ACTION
Mold Inspection
Understand what is happening and where to investigate further.
THE QUESTION WE START WITH
What is happening in the building?
An inspection connects what you see with the conditions around it. Start with a careful review of accessible areas, the history of the concern, and signs of moisture—before deciding whether testing or remediation is warranted.
WHEN IT MAY BE USEFUL
A practical next step.
- Visible growth, staining, or a recurring musty odor
- A concern after a leak or previous water damage
- Uncertainty about whether testing or remediation is the right next step
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Let the evidence lead.
- Visible changes in accessible materials
- Moisture clues and potential pathways
- The extent of the concern and areas needing further investigation
DURING THE SERVICE
Understand. Investigate. Explain.
The precise scope depends on the property and the question being addressed.
Review accessible areas and document observed conditions.
Explain findings, limitations, and useful next steps.
A LITTLE CLARITY
Straight answers to common questions.
Start with the question.
Let the conditions guide the answer.
Is inspection the same as testing?
No. Inspection evaluates conditions at the property. Testing evaluates collected samples. An inspection can help determine whether sampling would answer a useful question.
Can an inspection identify everything behind a wall?
An inspection of accessible areas has limits. Concealed conditions may require additional investigation or agreed access before their extent can be understood.
