Inspections Only – Not Remediation

Texas Occupations Code 1958.155(a) prohibits licensed mold inspectors from both inspecting and cleaning/remediating. We follow this ethical standard nationwide, even where not legally required.
Advanced Inspection Protocol
Our comprehensive process combines certified inspectors, accredited lab analysis, and expert review for fast and accurate mold inspection and indoor air quality results.
Pre-inspection Survey
Initial consultation discussing property history, past water damage, and moisture problems. This survey takes 10 minutes and can be done over the phone or in-person.
Property Inspection
We perform a comprehensive inspection which includes visual & infrared screening and moisture detection to detect hidden moisture, and we collect air and surface samples from suspected mold-affected areas.
Indoor Air Quality Assessment
We use advanced chemical and particulate sensors to detect formaldehydes, volatile organic compounds, fine particulates (PM2.5), carbon dioxide, and other contaminants that may cause similar symptoms to toxic mold exposure.
Accredited Lab Analysis
Samples are analyzed at an AIHA-accredited lab — species identified, spore counts measured — and every result is reviewed by our on-staff microbiologist.
Reporting & Advice
We send you a comprehensive interactive web report containing plain-English findings, microbiologist-verified testing results, recommendations for mold remediation and improved air quality, along with preventive tips to avoid future issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about mold, testing, and our process.
Q1: How much does a mold inspection cost in Columbus?
Mold inspection in Columbus starts from $498. Pricing depends on property size and type. All inspections include certified air and surface sampling, lab analysis, and a full online report within 24 hours.
Q2: Is mold common in Columbus homes?
Yes. Columbus's humid continental climate — with hot, humid summers and cold winters — creates conditions where moisture accumulates in basements, crawl spaces, and wall assemblies year-round. The city's mix of older neighborhoods and fast-growing new construction areas both carry mold risks, though from different sources.
Q3: Should I get a mold inspection before buying a home in Columbus?
Yes. A standard home inspection doesn't test air quality or identify mold growing inside walls or crawl spaces. Our certified air and surface sampling gives buyers documented evidence of the property's indoor air quality before closing — particularly important in Columbus's competitive market where buyers often move quickly through due diligence.
Q4: How does Columbus's new construction growth affect mold risk?
Columbus's rapid residential growth means many new homes are built during wet weather conditions, sometimes trapping construction moisture inside wall framing and insulation before the structure is fully sealed. New construction is not immune to mold — a pre-move-in inspection is a smart investment even in brand new homes.
