Q: When are mold inspections free?

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.

Q: How long does mold testing take?

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.

Q: Where does mold accumulate?

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.

Q: How does mold damage impact a home’s value?

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.

"I would not classify this company as a Pro as they are misleading in what services you are receiving. as a first-time homeowner trying to find a trusted to help with a suspected mold issue. This involved repairs to my ceiling after a roof leak and possible mold in the crawl space. After receiving estimates and a few phone conversations, I explained I only needed the ceiling inside fixed for now. As of today, I find out there was actually a little bit of information no one mentioned. They quote you the price to come in, tear down the ceiling, remove the mold and insulation, put plastic up, and set up dryers to dry up any moisture. After all of that, you must go through round 2 of getting an estimate and paying more money to get them to actually fix the hole in the ceiling that was left from the mold removal. Now, if you have no idea what mold removal entails, how to fix a ceiling where the water damage has happened, the cost associated with such a fix, or know that the first repair estimate does not really mean to fix your issue, you are like me. The amount of money charged, for my first home repair, was quite a bit. Maybe I am and have a lot to learn, but the amount seemed to be enough to fix the issue completely. I decided to pay out of pocket. Lesson learned to get several quotes to prevent these from happening in the future and go with your insurance because they know how this goes and what to expect. The biggest complaint I have is what I was told was misleading and their response seems like they could careless of the misunderstanding. When this happens, it is usually because they have heard this complaint before, and everyone knows there is a lack of clarity, but no one fixes it. I have spoken with 2 people today about not knowing about the second go around. The first one simply added my complaint to his notes after calling someone and the other said, well it was in the email we send when we provide the estimate and if you change your mind on the repairs let us know. I found the email they referred to and it states: These estimates do not include any repair costs that will be associated with these areas once drying is completed. I also found in the document they leave you What happens next? nothing about 2 separate estimates. Interestingly, Step 4 states that the paint may not be an exact match. This is what you read prior to learning what drying to them means. Drying to me simply meant the paint is dry on the repair and they have completed the work. I just caution people who use this company to read and research what you need to be done. They are not a trusted advisor to take you through educating you on the complete process when it comes to your repairs. Needless to say, I will not be using them to help with the crawl space since I have no idea what round 2 of that would cost me or if there is any fine print."

When you have mold, making the correct decisions right away is critical. Whether it is mold in your home, school, place of work, or apartment there are many factors to consider. Are you going to be involved in a mold lawsuit? Will you be seeking property damages? Is anyone sick from mold exposure? Will you be seeking medical damages? Will you need expert witnesses? If so, what kind? 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 is important to know what your goals are and why your testing. Different goals require different environmental tests, i.e. medical damages and 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.

"Everyone was easy to work with. The crew was very pleasant and hard-working, and their leader, Dave was great. Ken was kind to include a few extra details in the agreed price. My only concern was that the working procedures with the mold seemed a little lax . I expected the materials to be bagged up in airtight plastic, but they were just piled loose into their van.I thought the room would be sealed off from everything. The way upstairs was sealed off with plastic, but the door downstairs was simply open into the garage, which had its large door open and a machine blowing out the air from there. But on the whole we were very pleased."

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."
