How Inspection is Performed
1.
Visual & Moisture Assessment
Our certified inspectors conduct a room-by-room examination—looking under sinks, inside closets, HVAC units, attic spaces, and more—using tools like thermal cameras, moisture meters, and hygrometers to detect hidden trouble.
2.
Customized Testing
Based on what we find, we recommend air sampling, surface swabs, or in-wall tests. These are analyzed by a third-party, state‑licensed lab to assess mold levels and identify species.
3.
Clear Lab Results & Action Plan
Expect results within 3–4 business days (or faster—same-day or 24-hour options available). We’ll provide a detailed inspection report and, if needed, a remediation protocol to guide your contractor.
4.
Post-Remediation Clearance (Optional)
Once remediation is complete, we recommend conducting a clearance inspection, especially if initial testing indicates elevated mold levels. This optional step helps confirm that the mold has been effectively removed and that the space is safe to occupy.
About Placerville
Nestled in the heart of California’s Gold Country, Placerville and its surrounding El Dorado County communities—including Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Diamond Springs, Shingle Springs, Pollock Pines, Georgetown, and Camino—blend historic charm with the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada foothills. With elevations ranging from 1,000 to over 4,000 feet, the area experiences a distinct microclimate characterized by cool, wet winters, dry summers, and significant daily temperature fluctuations. This combination, along with annual rainfall exceeding that of the Central Valley, makes moisture control a critical concern for homeowners.
Many Placerville homes—ranging from century-old Gold Rush–era properties to modern hillside residences—face challenges such as humidity fluctuations, condensation in crawl spaces, and water intrusion from winter storms. These conditions can quietly foster mold growth, particularly in homes with older foundations, poor ventilation, or wood framing typical of foothill construction. Our mold inspection services in Placerville, CA, help identify these hidden risks early, ensuring healthier indoor environments and long-term protection for homes throughout the historic and elevated communities of El Dorado County.

Get a mold inspection if you notice musty odors, visible mold, water stains, or unexplained respiratory symptoms. It's essential after any water damage, leaks, or flooding since mold can grow within 24–48 hours. For home buyers in Sacramento, include mold inspection in your due diligence process—it can save thousands and provide negotiating power. We also recommend inspections after previous remediation work to ensure proper completion. If you are having a baby or already have a baby in the home, a mold inspection is especially important, since infants are more vulnerable to respiratory issues, allergies, and immune system stress caused by mold exposure. Protecting their health early on can prevent long-term complications.
A typical home inspection takes 1-2 hours depending on property size and complexity. Our certified inspector uses professional equipment for systematic visual inspection, thermal imaging, and sample collection. Each air/surface sample takes about 5 minutes. We explain findings during the process and answer questions. Laboratory analysis takes 3-4 business days, then you receive a comprehensive written report with specific recommendations.
Moisture testing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on property size and areas of concern. We conduct systematic testing of suspect areas plus comprehensive scanning of moisture-prone locations, including bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and areas near plumbing. Testing includes both pin-type and pinless measurements, thermal imaging when needed, and detailed documentation with moisture maps. You receive immediate verbal findings plus a written report detailing all measurements, problem areas identified, recommended actions, and monitoring protocols. Follow-up testing during drying processes ensures complete restoration to safe moisture levels.
If laboratory analysis reveals elevated mold, you'll receive a detailed remediation protocol outlining required work, affected areas, and safety measures. As an unbiased company, we don't perform remediation ourselves - our recommendations serve your best interests. We can refer qualified contractors, but you choose any certified professional. After remediation, we recommend post-remediation clearance testing to verify successful completion and document 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.
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. We provide rapid assessment services to keep your transaction timeline on track.
