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.

We'll explain what we found and what remediation would involve, so you can decide how to move forward with clear information.
