Professional mold inspection
Every clue matters.Let’s look closer.
A stain. A musty smell. A question about a past leak. We connect the details with a careful inspection, useful measurements, and findings you can understand.
A closer look at your property. An independent perspective.
The places we look
A home has a story.Follow the clues.
Explore the spaces that can shape an inspection. Your property, concerns, and access determine the scope.

Choose a point to look closer01 Below the floor
Start where moisture can linger.
Basements and crawl spaces can reveal a building’s moisture history. We look at accessible materials and the conditions around them.
- What draws our attention
- Water staining, damp-looking materials, visible suspected growth, and the route water may have taken.
- How we look closer
- Visual observations and relevant moisture readings, with the material, location, and access limits recorded.
Every property is different. We document the areas inspected and any access limits.
Your starting point
What brings you here?Start with your question.
There is more than one reason to book an inspection. A little context helps us plan a visit that makes sense for you.
Talk through your concern01I have noticed a changeA musty odor, a stain, or something that keeps returning.
- What to share
- Tell us where it happens, when you first noticed it, and whether the pattern changes with weather or system use.
- A useful next step
- We use those clues to focus the visual review and decide which measurements may help. A mark or odor alone does not confirm mold.
02There has been a leak or floodUnderstand what happened and what may still need attention.
- What to share
- Share the timing, affected areas, repairs, drying work, and any photos or earlier reports.
- A useful next step
- We assess accessible conditions and moisture patterns. Arrange urgent leak repairs and drying promptly; do not wait for mold sampling.
03I am buying a propertyAdd a focused assessment to an important decision.
- What to share
- Let us know your inspection deadline, areas of concern, available access, and any disclosures about past water damage.
- A useful next step
- Agree on the inspection scope before the visit. Documented observations and any recommended testing help you ask more informed questions.
04Remediation work is completePlan an independent look at the agreed work area.
- What to share
- Share the original findings, remediation scope, work records, and any verification criteria already established.
- A useful next step
- Discuss a separate verification visit, including its timing, access, and any sampling needed to evaluate the agreed criteria.
A considered process
Questions become observations.Observations become direction.
Each step builds on the last. We explain the scope and any recommended testing before it begins.
- 01
Start with a conversation
Your concerns, property history, and available access shape the scope we agree on before the visit.
- 02
Look at the setting
Review accessible areas for suspected growth, water staining, material changes, and other useful clues.
- 03
Add useful measurements
Appropriate moisture readings and thermal surface patterns help focus the investigation. Thermal imaging does not see mold through walls.
- 04
Decide if sampling helps
If a sample would answer a useful question, we explain the method, locations, and laboratory analysis before proceeding.
What you take away
The findings, connected.The next step, clearer.
A report should help you understand your property. We bring the observations together and explain what they support.
The places and conditions reviewed
Documented observations, relevant photos, and access limits.
Measurements with context
Relevant readings and laboratory results when samples are collected.
A useful conversation about next steps
What needs attention, further investigation, or a qualified contractor.
A few things to know
Good questions.Clear answers.
Understand the visit, the scope, and what the findings can tell you.
What is the difference between mold inspection and testing?
An inspection looks at the property: your concerns, moisture history, accessible conditions, and relevant measurements. Testing means collecting air or surface samples for laboratory analysis. Testing may support an inspection when it helps answer a specific question; it is not automatically needed at every visit.
Which areas can you inspect?
The scope can include accessible basements, crawl spaces, attics, bathrooms, kitchens, walls and ceilings, windows and doors, HVAC areas, roof areas, and garages. The property, your concerns, and safe access determine what is included. Any excluded or inaccessible areas are documented.
Can you see mold behind walls?
No tool provides a complete view of concealed conditions. Thermal imaging shows surface temperatures, and moisture meters add information about relevant materials. Those clues may support further investigation, but do not by themselves establish mold. Opening walls or additional probing requires a separate discussion and agreement.
Does every inspection require laboratory testing?
No. Sampling may be unnecessary where mold is already visible. When it is useful, the method follows the question and site conditions. We discuss the proposed air or surface collection, laboratory analysis, and limitations before proceeding. There is no federal mold limit that gives every property a universal pass or fail.
How should I prepare for the visit?
Share the location and timing of your concerns, relevant leak or repair history, photos, and prior reports. Let us know which areas can be accessed and ask about preparation before cleaning or changing the area. Do not delay urgent water repairs or drying while waiting for an inspection.
What happens after the inspection?
You receive documented findings for the agreed scope, which may include observations, photographs, relevant measurements, access limits, and laboratory results when samples were collected. We explain what the information supports and discuss appropriate next steps. ProDetect provides inspection and testing; any repair or remediation work is arranged separately.
