Our Comprehensive Mold Inspection Services

Elite Mold Inspection offers a comprehensive suite of mold assessment and indoor air quality testing solutions engineered to detect, evaluate, and verify mold issues in your local property. Our thorough approach ensures every detail is examined.

Visual Inspection

Our inspection starts with a careful visual assessment of your property. Our certified inspectors will identify visible signs of mold, water damage, discoloration, and conditions conducive to mold, such as water intrusion or elevated humidity. This initial phase helps us identify potential problem areas and guides our sampling strategy.

Air Sampling

Mold air testing is vital for assessing airborne mold spore concentrations. We gather air samples from various locations within your property and an outdoor control sample. These samples are then examined by a professional lab to measure the type and quantity of mold spores present, so we can assess the air quality indoors and possible hidden mold issues.

Surface Sampling

When visible mold, surface samples (swabs, tape lifts) are taken directly from the problem spots. This method allows for accurate identification of mold species and verifies ongoing mold presence on specific surfaces.

Bulk Sampling

In cases where building materials may be compromised, or a deeper assessment is needed, bulk samples (small pieces of suspected moldy material) may be collected. These samples provide a definitive identification of mold types and can establish colonization within building materials.

Humidity and Moisture Mapping

Elevated humidity and damp conditions are primary drivers of mold growth. Our inspectors use professional tools like humidity meters and infrared cameras to detect moisture problems behind walls, beneath flooring, and within ceilings. Identifying these sources is critical for preventing future mold re-growth.

Lab Analysis

All gathered samples are delivered to an certified independent lab for examination. The lab quantifies and identifies the species and concentration of mold spores. We get detailed reports that form the foundation of our evaluation results and suggested actions.
