Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

We had a very tight deadline to get a house inspected, and Fast Mold Testing made the entire process much less stressful. They were able to schedule the inspection extremely quickly, and we even had the inspection done the same day. They also accommodated our expedited request because we needed the report by a specific deadline. Our inspector, Samuel, was very thorough and knowledgeable throughout the inspection. He explained areas where mold could potentially be present and used several different devices and testing methods during the process. Even while working efficiently and completing the inspection quickly, he never rushed and provided valuable insights about the property and air quality concerns. The final report was incredibly detailed and informative. It clearly explained the differences between the control and test environments and provided explanations about the different types of spores found. Reading through the report helped me better understand mold risks, indoor air quality, and environmental factors that I was previously unaware of. Although there was a slight delay in receiving the report, the communication throughout the process was excellent. Autumn was especially helpful during this stressful time. She stayed in touch consistently, kept me updated on the timeline, followed through on everything, and reassured me that the report would be delivered. She was always available, kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. After reviewing the report, I feel much more confident about the basement area where mold had initially been suspected. The report also included very specific recommendations and preventative steps I can follow in the future to help avoid mold problems moving forward. Overall, I highly recommend Fast Mold Testing for their professionalism, responsiveness, thorough inspections, and excellent customer support.

Mold Inspection FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about mold, testing, and our process.

Q2: Is mold common in Somerville triple-deckers?

Yes. Somerville's triple-deckers share plumbing stacks, foundation walls, and building infrastructure between three units. When something happens on one floor — a slow leak, a plumbing failure, a drainage issue — the moisture doesn't stay on that floor. It travels through the shared structure, leaving conditions in every space it passes through.

Q3: Can Somerville tenants get a mold inspection independently?

Yes. Tenants can book an inspection without their landlord's permission. The certified lab report belongs to the tenant and documents what's in the air of their specific unit — independent of the landlord's assessment or explanation. Many Somerville tenants book independently when building management attributes smells to building age rather than testable conditions.

Q4: What should I check for mold when renting in Somerville?

Before or after moving in, look for persistent musty smells in basement units or first-floor apartments, condensation patterns on windows or exterior-facing walls, bathroom exhaust fans that don't seem to ventilate effectively, and any history of water intrusion in the building. If any of these apply, a certified inspection gives you documented answers.

Q5: How does Somerville's housing age affect mold risk?

Somerville's older housing stock — built primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — features building assemblies without modern moisture barriers, plumbing systems that have aged through decades of use, and basement spaces that have absorbed Greater Boston's seasonal moisture cycle for generations. Most of this housing has never had a certified indoor air quality test.
