Structural Issues

During the mold testing process, professional inspectors at Total House Inspection detect signs like warped materials, water damage, and compromised structures.

Poor Ventilation

Our mold inspections go beyond finding mold issues. The inspection also pinpoints poor airflow, focusing on areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Identifying poor ventilation helps address moisture buildup, ensuring a healthier indoor environment for our clients.

How much does it cost for a mold inspection?

Mold testing is a small investment that can help you avoid major, unexpected health and repair costs. Testing can reveal hidden issues such as toxic mold species, elevated spore counts, and hidden moisture sources — problems that often lead to costly remediation and health risks if left undiscovered. For the peace of mind and potential savings it provides, a professional mold inspection is well worth the cost.
