When Should You Consider Moisture or Mold Testing?
Moisture problems are not always obvious. Testing may be appropriate when there are visible signs of moisture, a musty odor, previous water damage, unexplained staining, or concern about possible mold growth.
-
Visible mold-like growth
-
Musty or unusual odors
-
Recent or past water intrusion
-
Basement or crawlspace moisture
-
Staining around walls, ceilings, or windows
-
Concerns after leaks or plumbing issues
What’s Included in Moisture Intrusion & Mold Testing
The inspection focuses on identifying visible moisture concerns, conditions that may support mold growth, and areas where additional testing may be appropriate
Professional Moisture Intrusion Investigation
A professional moisture intrusion investigation evaluates accessible areas for leaks, staining, elevated moisture, and conditions that may support mold growth. The moisture damage assessment may include moisture meter readings and infrared thermal imaging when appropriate.
Moisture Meter & Thermal Imaging
Moisture meters and infrared thermal imaging may be used when appropriate to help identify areas that deserve closer evaluation.
Air & Surface Sampling
When testing is appropriate, air or surface samples may be collected to help determine whether mold spores or suspected growth are present.
​
If sampling is planned, review how to prepare for a mold inspection so your results are as accurate as possible.
Professional Laboratory Analysis
Collected samples are submitted for professional laboratory analysis, providing clear results that help identify the presence and types of mold detected
