Investigate stains, musty smells, and moisture. Discuss whether sampling would help.
Discuss a mold concernInspection & testing services
Start with what you want to understand. An inspection, sample collection, and laboratory analysis serve different purposes.
Which inspection fits your concern?
A musty smell, a visible change, or a property purchase? Start with the question you need answered.
Indoor air quality
Mold-air samples, an outdoor comparison, and third-party analysis. Findings explained in context.
Understand air sampling
Real estate inspections
Address environmental questions before a property decision. Plan around your transaction and deadline.
Discuss your property timelineNot sure which service you need? Describe what you’ve noticed before choosing a test.
Discuss your propertyWhat belongs in the agreed scope?
Define the question
Describe the affected room, the recurring condition, or the request from another party. A moisture investigation, a laboratory sample, and a transaction report serve different purposes. Do not assume a broad environmental label covers every pollutant or building system.
Know the boundaries
Agree on accessible areas, sample targets and quantities, costs, and exclusions. Mold sampling does not replace emergency water response, diagnose illness, certify the whole property, or provide a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment.
Plan the explanation
Ask how findings will be provided and what they could change about your next decision. Confirm appointment availability and laboratory timing separately. For any independent-assessor requirement, review the ownership disclosure before booking.

Inspection or sampling: what is the difference?
