Straight answers about mold testing.
If your question isn't here, call us. We'd rather talk you out of an unnecessary test than sell you one.
How much does a mold inspection cost?+
The same-day on-site mold assessment is $595 — $545 when ordered online, with the $50 discount applied automatically. The inspector determines the appropriate methods after evaluating the property. Any service outside the confirmed scope requires your approval.
How fast can you come out?+
In the Bay Area we routinely schedule within 24–48 hours, and we hold same-day slots for active leaks, flooding, and real estate contingency deadlines.
Do you also remove the mold?+
No—deliberately. We only inspect and test. We do not perform remediation, demolition, cleanup, or repairs, and we do not accept contractor referral fees. Because your findings cannot create repair revenue for us, our recommendation is based on the conditions we observe. If work is needed, you choose your own contractor.
How long do lab results take?+
Sampling is not automatic. When the inspector determines that a sample is appropriate and it is submitted, laboratory timing is estimated rather than guaranteed and may vary.
Is a home mold test kit good enough?+
A retail kit does not include a professional evaluation of the property or help determine which method and location are appropriate. An inspector can first assess the conditions and decide whether any sampling would add useful information.
Will my report work for insurance or a real estate deal?+
Our reports are designed for professional use and document the accessible conditions observed during the visit. Acceptance and requirements vary by insurer, transaction, landlord, attorney, and other third party, so no particular outcome is guaranteed.
Do I need to leave the house during testing?+
No. A typical inspection takes 60 to 120 minutes and you are welcome to walk it with the inspector. We ask that windows and exterior doors stay closed for a few hours beforehand so we see normal indoor conditions.
