Stop Mold Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem
Musty odors in your home? Water stains on ceilings? Or maybe your family is experiencing unexplained allergies? These are all warning signs that mold could be growing where you can’t see it. Left unchecked, mold can affect your health, lower your property value, and create expensive structural damage. Mold can also cause air quality issues, making indoor environments unsafe and potentially worsening respiratory problems.
That’s where we come in. Our team at Mold Inspection Service provides unbiased inspections and expert advice to help fix mold problems before they escalate.
Our Comprehensive Mold Inspection Services in Sacramento
Visual Assessment
A thorough visual inspection is the starting point for every professional residential or commercial mold assessment. Your mold inspector will be looking for conditions that could contribute to mold development. This includes inspection inside and outside the property.
Air/Surface Testing
With the information gathered during the visual assessment and the moisture mapping steps of a mold inspection, your inspector can determine if testing is necessary for additional lab analysis. Mold testing can measure mold levels present as well as mold species. In-wall sampling is also available.
Certified Lab Report
Our samples are analyzed by a certified lab. Depending on turnaround time, you should expect to receive a lab report within 3–4 business days. Because lab reports can be difficult to interpret, your inspector will review the results with you in detail and discuss next steps.
Full Inspection Report
In addition to the lab report, you will receive a detailed mold inspection report that carefully outlines what was completed during the inspection, what the lab results mean, and what steps are recommended next. If professional mold remediation is advised, the report includes a recommended scope of work.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Thermal imaging (infrared) cameras allow mold inspectors to detect temperature differences in and behind building materials. Damp or wet materials are typically cooler than dry ones. This tool helps identify areas affected by moisture that may support mold growth.
Air Sampling
Airborne mold spores are invisible to the naked eye. When hidden mold growth is suspected, air samples can be collected for lab analysis. These samples provide insight into indoor spore counts and whether levels fall within normal ranges.
Scope of Work
If remediation is required, the inspection report will include a recommended scope of work detailing cleanup steps and preventative measures. This ensures mold is removed effectively and kept from returning.
Moisture Meters
Moisture meters measure the moisture content of building materials. Even when materials feel dry, moisture can be locked inside pores, providing the perfect environment for mold. Meters help identify these hidden risks.
Surface Sampling
Sometimes it’s unclear whether a substance is mold or simply staining. Surface sampling using swabs or bio tape lifts resolves this question. While often unnecessary when mold is clearly visible, surface testing is invaluable in uncertain situations.
Inner Wall Void Sampling
When mold is suspected behind walls or ceilings, inspectors can use specialized tools to take samples without unnecessary damage to the property. This advanced technique helps confirm hidden contamination.
Post Inspection Consultation
If you have questions after reviewing your report, we’ll gladly go over the results with you. Your inspector will explain whether you have a true mold problem, why it occurred, and what you should do next.

We also recommend inspections after previous remediation work to ensure proper completion.

Mold doesn’t have to kill your home purchase. Get a professional assessment to understand the scope and severity. Use our detailed report to negotiate with sellers for remediation, price reduction, or closing credits. California law requires disclosure of known mold issues. Small, localized problems are often easily remediated, while more extensive issues can impact costs and planning—but with the right information, you can make an informed decision on the purchase of the home.
If further testing or lab analysis reveals elevated mold, you’ll receive a detailed remediation protocol outlining required work, affected areas, and safety measures. The specific types of mold present and the extent of contamination may mean that professional intervention is necessary to ensure effective remediation and protect health. As an unbiased company, we don’t perform remediation ourselves – our recommendations serve your best interests. We can refer qualified contractors, but you can choose any certified professional. After remediation, we recommend post-remediation clearance inspections to verify successful completion and document that your home is safe.
California doesn't legally require mold inspections for real estate, but sellers must disclose known mold problems under state law. The Toxic Mold Protection Act requires landlord disclosure and habitable conditions. While not mandatory, mold inspection is one of the best investments to protect your health and financial interests. Our reports meet legal requirements for disclosure and remediation verification, accepted by real estate professionals and insurance companies throughout Sacramento County.
