"The self-test product was as expected. The reports require additional research to interpret and understand, so seemed more targeted at professionals."

"Wish I could leave 0 stars. Save yourself the headache and DO NOT HIRE this company to do your home inspections! Michael missed over 4 major natural gas leaks in an outdated gas line as well as major bathroom plumbing issues. Bathroom now needs work because of old galvanized plumbing that is mixed with copper and PVC leaking into crawlspace. Michael reported that all plumbing was copper and indeed there was not any galvanized plumbing. False! Repairs exceed over $8,000+ worth of parts and labor for both of these projects. Even though this was a major bargaining/repair oversight prior to closing, it could have been much, much worse. Me, my friends and/or family could have been severely injured in an explosion. Someone could have even died from this negligence! When I called a plumber to check out gas smells, there were leaks so bad the soap bubble tests looked like something out of a science fiction tale. There was absolutely no apology or attempt to apologize or to correct the situation. Metro Inspection could have said something like, "We are so sorry. What can WE do to make this right!?" Most companies do everything they can to help their customer. That didn't happen. They simple ignore me and contacted me only when I mentioned I would be leaving behind negative reviews. When Mike contacted me, he said things like, "You [and your realtor] knew I was not going down in the crawlspace, the gas leaks weren't there before there happened after the inspection, and we are not responsible for this because you know that we checked." At least two of the gas leaks occurred outside of the crawl space, actually in the garage, something that was lazily and neglectfully overlooked. They leaks weren't even in the crawl space as Mike argued. Customer service doesn't exist with this company and they simply blamed me and my realtor instead of correcting the problem. I feel rotten, upset, and extremely disheartened after the phone call. I requested that the gas line be paid ($3,900!) as well as a refund as a result of this company's incompetence and negligence. I requested that Metro Inspection contact the warranty service and the plumber to HELP ME OUT and get this sorted out as the warranty is only paying $500 of this bill, supposedly. This didn't happen either. No one helped me. To boot, when I requested a refund from Metro Property Inspection, they sent me a bunch of paperwork with legal jargon on it saying things like omitting liability in order to receive my refund back. That won't be happening. I am planning on holding them responsible. Absolutely abhorrent, vile, and repulsive business practices from this company. I have never in my life been blamed as a customer for a company's oversight. A major gas leak and it's the customer's fault?! Save yourself the nightmare these people will put you through and DO NOT HIRE THEM! I am a full-time educator and I have been dealing with this for months now when I come home. **Go someplace else whatever you do!! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!**"

FAQs for mold & toxic material test projects in Paola, KS

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.
