Mold Inspections and Testing without a full home inspection are conducted as a stand-alone ancillary service and can generally take 1 1 1/2 to 3 hours depending on the size of property to perform. While Mold Inspections and Testing with a home inspection utilize information found during the home inspection to help determine the cause of the mold issue, a Mold Inspection and Testing without a home inspection requires more evaluation while WHI is on-site. This inspection includes the following:

• Three total samples - one outdoor air sample as a control test, one indoor air sample, one additional swab or air sample at the inspector's or clients discretion of apparent mold affected area.

• Indoor and outdoor temperature/ humidity readings at the time of inspection.

• A detail written report that includes the test conditions, test sample locations, areas of moisture intrusion, sample results from a certified lab, and recommendations for further action (if necessary) by an certified mold specialist/contractor.

• Additional samples (excluding the three include samples), air or swab, can be done for an additional $50 per sample. 

• Swab samples are recommended in addition to the standard air samples when a known or suspected mold issue is found.

• A visual non-invasive inspection of the exterior and interior including checking for odors that may indicate moisture intrusion and potential mold growth. 

• A visual inspection of the attic area(s) for signs of moisture intrusion from the exterior and air leakage issues/condensation from interior.

• A visual inspection of the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems for potential area(s) of concern such as condensation.

• Use of infrared camera to help determine temperature anomalies of surfaces that can lead to, or are caused by moisture intrusion.

• Use of an moisture meter at areas where temperature anomalies are found and past or present moisture staining.
