Inspections Only – Not Remediation
Unlike cheaper companies with a conflict of interest, our partners provide unbiased assessments because they don't profit from finding problems. Our only job is to make sure you get the truth, not buy services you don't need.
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.
Q2: Why is Syracuse one of the highest mold risk cities in the Northeast?
Syracuse averages over 127 inches of snow per year — more than almost any other major city in the United States. Every inch eventually melts, and the moisture from that annual snowmelt works its way into foundations, crawl spaces, and wall assemblies throughout the city every spring. Most Syracuse homes have been through this cycle for decades without ever being certified tested.
Q3: Is the spring thaw smell in my Syracuse basement a mold indicator?
It can be. The musty smell that arrives every spring with snowmelt is microbial volatile organic compounds — a measurable byproduct of active mold growth. It is not simply a seasonal quirk of old Syracuse buildings. A certified air test tells you whether the smell reflects mold at elevated concentrations or falls within normal parameters.
Q4: Do you inspect student rentals near Syracuse University?
Yes. We inspect all residential property types in the Syracuse area, including student rentals near campus. Tenants can book independently without their landlord's involvement, and the certified lab report belongs to the tenant — making it useful in communications with landlords, university housing offices, or other relevant parties.
