We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Thorough inspection and a fair quote. They explained the lab results in plain words and never pushed anything on us.
Post-remediation air quality test passed on the first try. Very happy with their work.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Hicks, MO homes
Mold Inspection in Hicks tends to start the same way mold does across Sainte Genevieve County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Quarry Town, New Bourbon, Saint Mary and the rest of Hicks call us.
We handle mold inspection for Hicks the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Sainte Genevieve, about 10 minutes from our Sainte Genevieve base, so we can usually reach a Hicks home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Mold Inspection in Hicks, MO: common questions
Do I need visible mold to get an inspection?
No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.
What's the difference between an inspection and testing?
An inspection is a visual and moisture-based assessment. Testing involves collecting samples for lab analysis, which we offer as a separate or add-on service.
What happens if the inspection finds mold?
We'll explain what we found and what remediation would involve, so you can decide how to move forward with clear information.
Is the mold inspection you do in Hicks to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Sainte Genevieve County.
How long does a mold inspection take?
It depends on the size of the home, but most residential inspections take a couple of hours to cover the high-risk areas thoroughly.
Can an inspection help with a real estate transaction?
Yes, documented findings from an inspection can support decisions during a home purchase or sale where mold history is a concern.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold inspection?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Hicks home.
Do you serve Hicks?
Yes. We cover all of Hicks, including Quarry Town, New Bourbon, Saint Mary, and the rest of the Hicks area. We are based in Sainte Genevieve, about 10 minutes from our Sainte Genevieve base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
