Certified Mold Inspection and Testing Services

Full Mold Inspection

Our full inspection service includes a comprehensive visual assessment of all accessible areas. We use industry-standard tools such as moisture meters, hygrometers, infrared cameras, and air sampling pumps to determine where moisture and mold spores may be present. We inspect key areas such as:

• Ceilings and walls
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• HVAC systems and ducts
• Crawlspaces and basements
• Exterior perimeter and roof lines

If mold is present, we identify, document, and report it with photos and observations. Each report includes a clear protocol and next steps so you know how to proceed.

Partial Mold Inspection

Only need one area checked? Our partial inspection option is ideal for smaller concerns—such as a spot on the ceiling or a single damp room. We will inspect for mold in the designated space, provide moisture readings, and offer a certified recommendation based on industry standards of practice.

Sampling and Testing

We offer air samples and surface sampling to test for the presence of mold spores. These samples are sent to an independent lab for analysis, ensuring unbiased and scientific results. This service is particularly useful when:

• You suspect mold but don’t see it
• You need to determine mold type
• You want to confirm indoor exposure
• You are dealing with a real estate transaction or legal concern

Your report will specify whether levels fall within acceptable indoor air quality standards or require further attention.

Scope of Work for Remediation

If our inspection and mold testing indicate that remediation is needed, we will create a Scope of Work outlining how a certified mold remediation contractor should proceed. This document helps protect you from unnecessary costs, gives you leverage when hiring a remediation team, and ensures the remediation process is done correctly.

We do not perform mold remediation, so our scope of work recommendations are unbiased and based solely on inspection data.

Asbestos Screening (Optional)

In older buildings, mold may appear in areas with asbestos-containing materials. If needed, we can arrange for asbestos testing before any disturbance occurs. This is critical to protect your health and comply with California regulations.

When Should You Schedule a Mold Inspection?

Mold isn’t always visible—and when left undetected, it can lead to property damage, health symptoms, and thousands of dollars in repairs. You should consider scheduling a mold inspection and mold testing if you:

• Notice a musty odor indoors
• See discoloration on walls or ceilings
• Have had a recent leak or flood
• Are buying or selling a home
• Have household members with allergies or asthma
• See condensation or elevated humidity near windows
• Want to certify your indoor air quality

Mold exposure can cause allergic reactions, fatigue, respiratory irritation, and worsen existing health issues. Our inspections help you determine whether mold is present, where it’s coming from, and what steps to take next.

Common Causes of Mold in Coastal Los Angeles

Living near the coast means beautiful views and ocean breezes—but it also means elevated humidity, salt air, and moisture problems. These conditions are ideal for mold growth. Common contributors include:

• Roof or window leaks
• Poor ventilation
• Flooding
• Leaky plumbing
• Crawlspace humidity
• HVAC condensation

If you own property in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, or other coastal areas, mold inspection should be a priority in your home maintenance plan.
