Mold Inspection
A mold inspection answers the questions that keep property owners up at night: is there mold, where is it, how much is there, and why is it happening? It is the right first step when you smell something musty, see staining, or are buying, selling, or renting a property and want clarity.
The problem
What usually leads to a call about mold inspection
Mold is often hidden. It grows on the back of drywall, under carpet pads, inside wall cavities, and in attics that nobody visits. Without an inspection, people either ignore a real problem or spend money tearing out materials that were never affected. An inspection turns guesswork into a plan you can act on.
Signs to watch for
- Musty smell with no visible source
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- A past leak, flood, or roof problem
- Condensation on windows and pipes through the winter
Scope
What the work includes
- Visual inspection of living areas, basement, attic, and mechanical spaces as accessible
- Moisture readings on walls, floors, and framing
- Identification of likely water sources
- Discussion of whether sampling would add useful information
- Clear explanation of findings and next steps
Process
How we approach it
- 1
Background first
We ask about the history of the property, recent water events, and any symptoms you have noticed.
- 2
Room by room review
Each accessible area is checked for visible growth, staining, and elevated moisture.
- 3
Connect the dots
Findings are tied back to a source, such as a roof leak, plumbing, grading, or ventilation.

Explain options
You get a plain language explanation of what we found and what we would recommend.
Mold Inspection near you in Detroit
Detroit winters push warm, humid indoor air against cold exterior walls and attic roof decks. That condensation pattern is one of the first things we look for in homes across the city, especially in older houses with limited insulation.
We work with property owners in Downtown Detroit, Hamtramck, Highland Park, River Rouge, Grosse Pointe Park. See our service areas.
Before we arrive
Clear access to the basement, attic hatch, and utility room if you can. Have notes on past leaks or repairs ready.
Have a rough timeline of when you first noticed the problem and any recent water events. It helps us understand what we are looking at faster.
Questions
Common questions about mold inspection
Do I need an inspection if I can already see mold?
Visible growth usually means the area needs remediation, but an inspection still helps find the moisture source and any hidden spread nearby.
Will you test the air?
Only if it adds value. Sampling is useful in some situations and unnecessary in others. We explain the difference before recommending it.
