Conflict-Free Inspection
Inspections Only – Not Remediation
Unlike cheaper companies with a conflict of interest, our partners provide unbiased assessments because they don't profit from finding problems. Our only job is to make sure you get the truth, not buy services you don't need.
Texas Occupations Code 1958.155(a) prohibits licensed mold inspectors from both inspecting and cleaning/remediating. We follow this ethical standard nationwide, even where not legally required.
Our Process
Advanced Inspection Protocol
Our comprehensive process combines certified inspectors, accredited lab analysis, and expert review for fast and accurate mold inspection and indoor air quality results.
Pre-inspection Survey
Initial consultation discussing property history, past water damage, and moisture problems. This survey takes 10 minutes and can be done over the phone or in-person.
Property Inspection
We perform a comprehensive inspection which includes visual & infrared screening and moisture detection to detect hidden moisture, and we collect air and surface samples from suspected mold-affected areas.
Indoor Air Quality Assessment
We use advanced chemical and particulate sensors to detect formaldehydes, volatile organic compounds, fine particulates (PM2.5), carbon dioxide, and other contaminants that may cause similar symptoms to toxic mold exposure.
Accredited Lab Analysis
Samples are analyzed at an AIHA-accredited lab — species identified, spore counts measured — and every result is reviewed by our on-staff microbiologist.
Reporting & Advice
We send you a comprehensive interactive web report containing plain-English findings, microbiologist-verified testing results, recommendations for mold remediation and improved air quality, along with preventive tips to avoid future issues.

Mold Inspection FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about mold, testing, and our process.
Q2: Why are South Pittsburgh hillside homes at mold risk?
South Pittsburgh's hillside neighborhoods — including Mount Washington, Duquesne Heights, and Beechview — absorb rainfall and snowmelt from the slopes above them. Older homes built into hillsides often have foundation walls in direct contact with the hillside soil moisture on multiple sides, creating sustained ground moisture exposure that flat-lot properties don't experience.
Q3: Is mold testing available for South Pittsburgh rowhouses?
Yes. We inspect rowhouses throughout South Pittsburgh with certified air and surface sampling that covers all areas of concern — basements, crawl spaces, wall assemblies, and HVAC systems. The full lab report is available online within 1–2 business days of the inspection and is suitable for personal use, landlord communications, or pre-sale documentation.
Q4: What should South Pittsburgh homeowners know about basement mold?
South Pittsburgh basements are among the highest mold risk spaces in the city. Stone and block foundation walls absorb ground moisture from surrounding hillside soil. Many basements have been finished over the years — sealing whatever was in the unfinished space behind new drywall rather than addressing it. Pre-renovation testing is the best protection before any basement work begins. Before any basement wall is opened, read how testing for mold in walls works.
Q5: Should I get a mold inspection before buying a South Pittsburgh home?
Yes. Properties in Mount Washington, Southside Slopes, and other South Pittsburgh hillside neighborhoods carry moisture histories tied to their hillside position. A standard home inspection doesn't test air quality or assess the conditions that decades of hillside ground moisture have produced in crawl spaces and basement wall assemblies?
