Mold Investigation
Visual and air-sample mold investigation when moisture or odors are present.
Mold investigation goes beyond standard inspection when there is visible mold, persistent moisture, or musty odors. We perform visual evaluation, moisture meter readings, and (when warranted) air-sample testing for laboratory analysis.
Why this matters
Standard home inspection does not include mold testing. If you smell musty odors during showings, see staining in basements or closets, or know the home has had water damage, dedicated mold investigation provides documentation for negotiations and remediation planning.
What's covered
- ✓Visual evaluation of suspect areas
- ✓Moisture meter readings on suspect surfaces
- ✓Photo documentation of all findings
- ✓Air-sample testing (if warranted) — lab results in 3-5 days
- ✓Surface-sample testing (if warranted)
- ✓Recommendations for remediation contractor next steps
Southern Minnesota considerations
Older southern-MN basements with stone foundations and limited drainage commonly have mold issues. Lake-adjacent properties throughout our service area have elevated mold risk from chronic moisture.

Common questions
Do I need mold testing?
If you see visible mold, smell musty odors, or know the home has had water damage, yes. If none of those are present, mold testing is rarely necessary.
How long do mold test results take?
Visual investigation results immediately at inspection. Air-sample lab results in 3-5 business days.
What if you find mold?
You get the documentation to share with sellers. Mold remediation is typically a seller-negotiated repair or price-adjustment item.
