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.

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.

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.

Samples are analyzed at an AIHA-accredited lab — species identified, spore counts measured — and every result is reviewed by our on-staff microbiologist.

Common questions about mold, testing, and our process.
A mold inspection often costs between $498 and $1,000 or more. The price depends on the size of your place and how hard the testing is. In San Diego, our mold inspections start at $498.
What you can see is often not all there is. You may see mold, but that is just showing a problem. The cause is still there inside. Mold sends out spores that float in the air before it shows up where you can see. There are all kinds of mold out there, and each can make people feel different. A pro mold test will tell you what is truly in the air. It will show just how far the mold has gone, so you can fix things using real numbers and not make guesses.
Most people do not notice the first signs of mold and wait until it spreads under the walls or floors, so it becomes a hidden problem for your health and home. If you suspect it is inside a wall, see how testing for mold in walls works. Our certified inspectors do not only check the air. They also find out where the water is coming from, check how many spores are there, and show you pictures of what is going on. You will at last know if it is a small problem or something that could harm your health or lower your home's value—and learn what to do next.
Yes, certain molds release allergens or mycotoxins that can cause health issues, especially in children, the elderly, or individuals with preexisting respiratory conditions. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, and eye irritation.
We've seen prices as low as $498 for mold inspection. How can a mold inspector possibly offer such a low-priced inspection? The two most common reasons for low pricing are: they are a conflicted inspector; or they provide a rushed low-quality service. Even the smallest inspection should take at least 45 minutes, with larger inspections requiring 3–5 hours. Report writing can take an additional 1–5 hours.
Most inspections give you lab results within 1–2 business days of the inspection.

You need a baseline control 2x air samples one indoor one outside. If the house is big or has more than one floor, you may need more samples. This helps to see how rooms are different. Taking more samples will give a better idea of the air inside.
Yes. Pre-purchase mold testing helps find hidden water damage and old leaks. It also shows when there is mold in the air that regular home inspections miss. This type of testing gives facts about health risks and money you may need to spend on repairs later.
When you have mold found during a mold inspection in San Diego, you first need to know if it is a real problem or if it is just a small thing. A sample is sent to a certified lab for testing. You then get a clear report that tells you where the mold is and how much there is. This report lets you see what needs to be done, so you do not have to guess or do too much work.
If your mold test says there is mold in San Diego, the best thing to do is read the inspection report first and not rush into cleanup. The report tells you which areas have mold so a licensed mold removal company can handle the problem the right way. This helps make sure the mold is cleaned up the first time. It also lowers the chance of mold coming back because of moisture that was not fixed.
Yes. Testing after mold is taken out in San Diego makes sure the problem is really gone. Post-remediation testing looks at mold levels to check they are the same as normal and that the place is safe again. You often need to do this before you move back in, sell a home, or get the last approval by a property manager.
