Musty smell in the basement? Staining around a window? We take air samples, read moisture levels and send them to an accredited laboratory so you know what you are dealing with.
Spores are everywhere. They only become a colony when they find water, so finding the moisture source matters more than the species name on the lab report. We look for where the water is coming from, not just where the staining shows.
If any of this sounds familiar, a test is worth the money.
A persistent earthy smell, especially in a basement, usually means active moisture somewhere out of sight.
A previous leak, flood or ice dam that was dried quickly on the surface but never properly opened up.
Congestion, irritation or allergy symptoms that ease when you leave the property are worth investigating.
Serving Baltimore, the DC suburbs, Frederick County and Northern Maryland.

A musty odor, staining on drywall or framing, peeling paint, warped flooring, condensation on windows and any history of basement water. Finished basements hide most of it, which is why testing matters.
Yes. Two air samples are included and analyzed by an accredited laboratory, with the written results explained to you.
No, and that is intentional. An inspector who also sells remediation has an obvious conflict of interest. We test and report, you choose a remediation contractor.
Book mold testing on its own or alongside your property inspection.
