When you have mold, making the correct decisions right away is critical. Whether it?s mold in your home, school, place of work or apartment there are many factors to consider. Will you be seeking property damages? Is anyone sick from mold exposure? Do you just want to test to be sure your environment is safe? Do you need Post Mold Remediation Testing to ensure a good job was done? These and other factors are questions which need to be answered before any environmental testing starts. It?s important to know what your goals are and why your testing. Different goals require different environmental tests, i.e. medical damages & property damages require different environmental tests to prove your case in court. Tests that a common or inexperienced mold inspector would not typically use or know to use.

Previously A+ Cleaning & Restoration, Defender Water & Mold Restoration is owned by Kevin Ricke and Tra Griffin. Defender is the #1 Authority in water/mold remediation services, has completed over 8,500 projects/inspections, and is a veteran owned and operated company. Kevin Ricke is a Vietnam Vet (Navy) and has been in the restoration industry for over 45 years. He's owned/operated all types of home service businesses ranging from carpet cleaning to plumbing services. To say Kevin is an expert is an understatement; there's nobody in the state of Alabama that has his knowledge when it comes to water/mold restoration. Tra Griffin served in the Marine Corps Infantry with two combat deployments to Iraq. In the civilian world, Tra spent time running operations for an INC 5000 franchise as well as overseeing operations, maintenance and renovations for a nation-wide SFR Property Management Company.

"This business was prompt, efficient and knew just what to do and how to do it. Will definitely call Cheaha Home Solutions again!"

Mold & toxic material tests FAQs

Some companies offer a no‑cost phone or video consultation that screens for red flags. If the discussion points to a real issue, the pro will recommend a paid on‑site inspection. The complimentary call clarifies whether you need full testing, but it isn’t a substitute for samples, lab work, or a written report. Always confirm what the free service covers before you schedule.

A standard inspection, which includes basic air and surface samples, takes an average of two hours. If the pro needs to probe hidden spaces, such as wall cavities or ductwork, plan on up to six hours. Extra time allows the inspector to reach tight areas, collect additional samples, and document findings. Lab analysis is a separate process and often adds several business days to the overall timeframe before you receive the full report.

Mold thrives where moisture lingers and air flow is poor. Common hotspots include bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, window sills, HVAC vents, fireplaces, crawl spaces, and enclosed attics. Check these areas regularly—especially after leaks or high‑humidity weather—to catch growth early and avoid costly repairs.

Unchecked mold can knock 20% to 37% off a home’s market value because buyers worry about hidden damage and health risks. Even after remediation, visible staining or a history of major moisture issues can still lower offers and prolong the time on the market. Addressing mold quickly protects both your property’s structural integrity and its resale appeal.
