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.

Great Environmental has been helping homeowners and small business owners with their environmental and air quality concerns since 2005. Through our 20+ years in business, we get calls all the time from people who suspect there is “something going on” in their home or business that is making people sick. We would go out and do a standard airborne mold test, and there were dozens of instances where the results came back as normal. Our customers were left paying for a test instead of getting some answers. In these cases, all we were able to tell them is what WASN'T causing their symptoms… until now! Introducing our IAQ Home Survey: - Monitors for 500+ airborne chemicals AND hidden mold growth with a SINGLE AIR SAMPLE! - One test covers up to 2,000 sq. ft. - Identifies chemical pollutants that could make you sick - Predicts sources of the chemicals, whether from the home or its contents Get the peace of mind you are looking for, not just mold test results and no solutions!!
"Excellent! It is a Family owned business. Matt is very personable and explained everything with the whole process. I needed someone right away, and he genuinely seemed like he wanted to help. He fit us in his schedule immediately, even right before Memorial weekend. We got results very quickly, within 2-3 days and we were able to move along closing on our house. I would definitely recommend them as well as the testing for your home."

Mold is everywhere, but elevated levels in your property can cause serious health problems. Even if the mold is non-toxic, it still needs to be removed because the mold spores will still be present. If your property has a mold problem we have the knowledge and instrumentation to find it.
"Still waiting on the lab results but the inspector was very polite,informative , honest and thorough."

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.
