Mold Inspection & Testing in Greater Philadelphia
Sometimes you need to know, not guess: before a real estate closing, after a tenant complaint, when someone in the house is getting sick, or after a remediation to prove it worked. We inspect, measure moisture, sample to an accredited lab and give you a written report you can hand to a buyer, landlord, doctor or adjuster.
When to call
When testing is worth it
Buying or selling a home
Inspection flagged mold, or you want documentation before listing.
Tenant or landlord dispute
An independent report settles what a photo cannot.
Health symptoms with no visible mold
Congestion, cough or headaches that follow a room pattern.
Musty odor, nothing visible
Growth inside a wall cavity or under flooring.
After a remediation
Clearance testing proves the work was done to standard.
HVAC concerns
Mold in ductwork spreads through the whole house.
What we do
What a CRS mold inspection includes
Visual inspection
Every room, attic and basement, with attention to the places mold hides.
Moisture readings
Pin and non-invasive meters, thermal imaging where useful. Mold is a moisture problem first.
Air sampling
Indoor samples compared to an outdoor baseline, analyzed by an accredited lab.
Surface sampling
Tape lifts or swabs to identify what is growing on a specific surface.
Written report
Findings, lab results, photos and recommendations in plain English.
A scope if you need one
If remediation is warranted, a separate line-item estimate. Testing and remediation are quoted separately so the report is honest.

Testing and insurance
Carriers rarely pay for routine testing, but post-loss testing and clearance after a covered water event are often included in the claim. We bill testing transparently and separately from remediation.
Questions
Mold testing FAQs
How much does a mold inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the home and the number of samples. You get the price before we sample anything, and testing is quoted separately from any remediation.
Do I need testing if I can see the mold?
Not always. If the growth is obvious and the source is known, you may go straight to remediation. Testing matters when a third party needs proof, the extent is unclear, or symptoms do not match what is visible.
Are home test kits any good?
Settle-plate kits grow whatever lands on them and cannot tell you if your indoor levels are abnormal. A professional sample is compared against an outdoor baseline and read by a lab.
How long until I get results?
Lab turnaround is typically a few business days; rush analysis is available.
