Frequently Asked Questions – Mold Testing
- How do I know if I need a mold test?
If you’ve experienced recent water damage, see discoloration on walls or ceilings, or notice a musty odor, you likely need professional testing. Even in the absence of visible mold, spores can affect your indoor air quality.
- What does mold testing include?
Our testing involves air sampling, surface sampling, and moisture analysis. All samples are sent to an accredited lab, and results are interpreted by certified inspectors with a full written report.
- Is mold dangerous to my health?
Yes, mold exposure can cause allergic reactions, asthma flare-ups, respiratory irritation, and long-term health effects, especially in children, seniors, or immunocompromised individuals.
- How long does a mold inspection take?
Most residential inspections take 1–2 hours on-site. You’ll typically receive lab results and your complete report within 48 to 72 hours.
- Can you help with insurance claims?
Absolutely. We provide detailed reports, lab data, and Xactimate estimates to support accurate claim submissions. We also offer roof sketch XML files and symbility design services for insurers and restoration professionals.
- Do I need mold remediation after testing?
That depends on the findings. If mold levels are elevated or if structural materials are contaminated, we’ll provide recommendations and can refer you to certified remediation contractors in your area.
