Our team of experts specializes in mold inspections for buyers, sellers, renters, and current homeowners. Our goal is to find out if an unusual mold condition exist in your property, and to determine why and where it is occurring, and what needs to be done to properly correct the mold problem. We'll provide you with a comprehensive mold report that includes existing mold problems and growth conditions before they become serious health hazards.
We offer comprehensive mold testing for homeowners and businesses of all sizes. Mold air spore sampling is performed to compare outdoor and indoor spore counts and genera, to identify concentration levels, and potential health risks. Surface sampling to determine whether or not the visible stains, discoloration, etc, is indicative of mold growth at the sample area. Samples are sent to a AIHA accredited laboratory.
Mold can grow within 24-48 hours after a bad water incident. Detecting a moisture and humidity problem early is key on preventing mold growth. Your Mold Inspector uses State-of-the-art equipment to detect moisture in hidden areas that can lead to a serious mold conditions in your home or business.
Moldy indoor air quality testing involves assessing the presence and concentration of mold spores in the air to determine if a mold problem exists and potentially identify the type of mold. While visible mold growth doesn't always necessitate testing, air sampling can be helpful in cases of suspected hidden mold, water damage, or when someone has a mold-related illness.
Some contractors often refer to “black mold” or “toxic black mold.” It is usually associated with Stachybotrys chartarum, a type of greenish‐black mold commonly associated with heavy water damage. Not all molds that appear to be black are Stachybotrys. The known health effects from exposure to Stachybotrys are similar to those caused by other common molds, and again in high exposure situations (as in agriculture), are known to be associated with severe health effects in some people. Such exposures seldom, if ever, occur in buildings except during remediation activities by people not taking appropriate precautions.
The purpose of a mold clearance inspection is to assure that the mold cleanup has been done correctly and effectively in the work area and to confirm that the cleanup did not accidentally distribute high levels of moldy dust and debris into other building areas or into its mechanical systems such as heating or air conditioning systems. To avoid conflicts of interest, mold clearance testing should never be performed by the mold remediation contractor.
After water damage or a flood in your home, in a damp indoor environment, individuals can be exposed to:
VOCs are found in many common products, including paints, cleaning supplies, cosmetics, and fuels, and can also be emitted by building materials and furnishings.
A mold allergy causes the same signs and symptoms that occur in other types of upper respiratory allergies. Signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis caused by a mold allergy can include:
Mycotoxins are toxic chemical compounds produced by certain molds (fungi) that can contaminate food and feed, leading to illness in humans and animals. Illness called Mycotoxicosis, and caused:

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in moist or humid places. It occurs naturally in the environment and can be found almost anywhere, including in garden composts and on decaying or damp organic material, and food. Indoors, mold grows best in damp and poorly ventilated areas, typically on wood, plasterboard, tile grout and furnishings. Common causes of mold growth indoors include:
• leaking roofs and walls,
• faulty plumbing
• condensation.
To reproduce, mold produces tiny particles called spores. These spores travel easily through the air and may begin to grow and spread when they land on damp surfaces.
Mold is not always easy to recognize. It often looks like ‘fuzz’ or may appear to be a stain, smudge or discoloration. The most common molds are black, green or white. However, mold can be many other colors, ranging from grey to orange to brown and can also change color depending on its age or life-stage.
Spore land on a moist surface
Enzymes use surface moisture to dissolve food.
Spore germinated, producing filaments ( hyphae)
Hyphae extend to reach an area of absorptive surface. Fungal metabolism generates more surface moisture to accelerate growth.
Hyphae grow thickly, digging into the surface and forming a protective mat ( Mycelium) that keeps the surface moist even if surrounding air is dry.
The mold grows conidia, which generate and release spores into the air.
Mold growths, or colonies, can start to grow on a damp surface within 24 to 48 hours. They reproduce by spores - tiny, lightweight “seeds”- that travel through the air. Molds digest organic material, eventually destroying the material they grow on, and then spread to destroy adjacent organic material.
Breathing in mold spores and fragments can trigger nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing or wheezing, and respiratory infections. It can also worsen asthma and allergic conditions. Contact with mold can also irritate eyes and skin. People who are more likely to experience these symptoms include those with weakened immune systems, allergies, severe asthma or lung diseases. These people are also more susceptible to other serious health effects, such as the lung condition aspergillosis (‘Farmer’s lung’). There is no exposure limit or health guideline value for exposure to mold. Where possible, exposure to mold should be minimized – this is particularly recommended for people who are more sensitive to mold exposure.
Mold spores and fragments exist naturally in the air we breathe. The amount that people are exposed to depends on various factors including the season, surrounding land, wind, and people’s activities / actions both indoors and outdoors.
Mold primarily enters your body through breathing and swallowing.
Some molds produce toxins(mycotoxins). People are mostly exposed to mycotoxins through eating contaminated food.
The cost of mold inspection varies depending on the square footage of the area being inspected.
Mold testing cost varies depending on the type of sampling, how many samples, and how quickly you need the results.
A mold inspection and testing for your home or business would costs anywhere from $250 and up.

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring compounds produced by certain molds, or fungi, under certain conditions. Mycotoxins can be toxic to humans and animals when they are eaten, absorbed into the skin, or inhaled.
Mycotoxicosis describes the systemic effects (poisoning) caused by mycotoxins produced by molds and have been well-documented and occur in humans and animals upon oral ingestion of contaminated foods (Borchers et al., 2017; Hurraß et al., 2017; Wiesmüller et al., 2017). In 2009, the WHO advised that while mycotoxins can induce a wide range of adverse health effects in both animals and human beings, the evidence that they play a role in health problems related to indoor air is “extremely weak” (World Health Organization, 2009, p. 81)
Of mycotoxins, the AWMF guideline advised that numerous mold genera, (e.g., Penicillium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, Fusarium, Stachybotrys) produce mycotoxins, with mycotoxin production depending on the species, and environmental factors, such as moisture levels, substrate composition, potential for hydrogen (pH) value, nutrient competition and light wavelength (Fischer et al. 2006 in Wiesmüller et al., 2017). Mycotoxins are not volatile and are found in the air bound to spores, cell fragments and other particles and are generally only found at levels relevant to health in foods and animal feed that have been colonized by molds.
Mold growth in homes and other buildings is often caused by excess moisture, which can come from many sources:
Although mold naturally occurs in the environment and can be found almost anywhere, it needs damp surfaces and moisture to grow. You can reduce your exposure through simple measures, however there is no practical way to eliminate all exposure to mold. These measures include:
Indoors
• Prevent moisture and dampness and ensure adequate ventilation. This will minimize current and future mold growth.
• Fix leaky plumbing, roofs or other building faults.
• Clear and maintain gutters.
• Reduce and remove condensation (e.g. use exhaust fans and wipe up excess water).
Homes with inadequate ventilation resulting from poor design, modifications or lack of maintenance may be more prone to developing mold. The cheapest and easiest way of reducing indoor moisture and humidity is by ventilating a room by opening a door or window.
Food
• Throw away foods that have become visibly moldy.
• Adequately clean the surface area on which the moldy food was stored or consider throwing away the container the food was stored in.
Outdoors
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and a P1 or P2 face mask when handling garden composts, mulch, straw or hay, and moldy and decaying organic materials.
