Had a leak? Check for mold you can't see.
Dried out is not the same as tested
A leaking supply line, a roof leak, an overflowing tub or a slow drip under a sink can wet materials you never see: subfloor, wall cavities, the back of cabinets. Even after everything looks dry, it's reasonable to want to know whether mold is affecting the air, and in which rooms.
We measure airborne mold in every room and compare it against the outdoor air sampled at your property that day. A resuspension scan shows what settled dust and carpet add when the space is in use. The result is a clear picture of where readings are elevated, so cleanup or repair can be targeted instead of guessed at.
Common situations
- A recent leak or flood that was dried, with no testing afterward.
- A musty smell in one area that won't go away.
- Staining or a soft spot on a ceiling, wall or floor.
- After repairs or remediation, for past clients who want a follow-up assessment to confirm the change.
Tracing the water: the Mold & Moisture Deep-Dive
When you suspect a water problem, the Mold & Moisture Deep-Dive (+$500, added to an assessment) uses moisture metering and thermal imaging to help trace where it is coming from.
What you get
A full assessment covers all 10 core parameters (mold, bacteria, viral load, VOCs, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, pollen, humidity, PM2.5 and PM10), measured room by room and compared against an outdoor baseline taken the same day. We walk you through the results before we leave, and the written report follows within 48 hours. Prefer traditional lab sampling? Air canister testing is $300 for one outdoor and one indoor sample, or $450 for one outdoor and two indoor samples, with lab results typically within a week.
Common questions
How long after a leak should I test?
Any time after the area is dry. Testing sooner gives you a clearer picture before finishes are replaced; testing later shows whether anything is lingering in the air.
Do you do remediation?
No. We test and report only, so our findings carry no conflict of interest. The report ends with plain-language next steps you can take to a contractor.
Can you find where the water came from?
The Mold & Moisture Deep-Dive (+$500) adds moisture metering and thermal imaging to help trace a suspected water issue.
Know where the problem is before anyone opens a wall.
Room-by-room readings point cleanup and repair at the areas that need it.
