Basic Mold Inspection in LA County
A thorough, independent evaluation for visible mold, odors, water intrusion, or general concern, with certified lab results and a written report.
What Is a Basic Mold Inspection?
A Basic Mold Inspection evaluates a property for visible mold and the environmental conditions that contribute to mold growth. It's the right starting point for routine assessments, real estate transactions, or any situation where a musty odor, a stain, or a recent leak has raised a question about what's actually happening behind the walls.
Because we don't perform remediation, there's never a reason for us to find more than what's actually there. If a property checks out clean, that's exactly what the report says.
What's Included
Every Basic Mold Inspection includes a thorough interior and exterior inspection, an HVAC system evaluation, relative humidity and temperature readings, and moisture detection at the areas most likely to show a problem. We collect air samples for airborne mold spore identification and, where relevant, a swab sample from the HVAC system.
All samples go to a certified microbiology laboratory for analysis. You receive a final written report with the lab results and clear recommendations, not just raw numbers you have to interpret yourself.
Most Basic Mold Inspections take one to two hours depending on the size of the property. We use moisture readings and air sampling together because mold that isn't visible yet can still show up in the readings, which is exactly what this inspection is designed to catch early.

Who Chooses a Basic Mold Inspection
Homeowners noticing a musty smell or a stain on the ceiling. Buyers wanting documentation before closing on a property. Sellers who want to address a question before it comes up during escrow. Landlords and property managers confirming conditions between tenants. Whatever brought you here, this inspection gives you a clear, independent answer.
If your situation is more specific, like a home health concern, a suspected leak behind a wall, well water on the property, or a personal exposure question, we also offer Total Home Health Inspection, FLIR Thermal Imaging, Well Water Quality Testing, and Mycotoxin Urinalysis. If you're not sure which one fits, just call and describe what's going on.
Basic Mold Inspection FAQ
How long does the inspection take?
Most Basic Mold Inspections take one to two hours, depending on the size of the property.
Can you detect mold that isn't visible yet?
Yes. We use moisture readings and air sampling to detect mold that may not be visible, which is part of why sampling is included even when nothing is visibly growing.
How long until I get my results?
Lab results are typically available within a few business days of sample collection, and your written report is delivered as soon as results are in.
Do you also perform remediation?
No. We provide testing and inspection only. That separation means there's never a financial incentive to find more than what's actually there.
