Most mold problems start where you can’t see them. Behind walls. Under floors. In crawl spaces you haven’t checked in years.
A real mold inspection doesn’t just look at the obvious spots. It uses moisture meters, infrared cameras, and air quality testing to find growth before it spreads. You get a full picture of what’s happening in your property not just surface-level guesses.
That means fewer surprises during remediation. No wondering if the problem’s actually fixed. And no paying twice because someone missed something the first time. When you know exactly what you’re dealing with, you can make decisions based on facts instead of fear.
We’ve been helping homeowners and property managers in Bucks County deal with mold the right way. We’re not a national franchise following a script. We’re local, certified, and we understand what happens to homes in this area.
Frankford’s climate doesn’t do properties any favors. Humid summers, older housing stock, basements that stay damp it all adds up. We’ve seen what happens when mold gets ignored, and we’ve seen what it takes to actually fix it.
Our team uses EPA-approved methods and follows IICRC standards. That’s not marketing talk it’s how we make sure the inspection holds up if you need it for insurance, real estate transactions, or your own peace of mind.
First, we walk through your property and talk about what you’ve noticed. Musty smells, water damage, health symptoms it all matters. Then we start the actual inspection.
We check the obvious areas and the ones most people forget. Attics, crawl spaces, behind appliances, inside wall cavities. We use moisture meters to find dampness you can’t see and infrared cameras to spot temperature differences that signal hidden water intrusion. If air quality testing makes sense, we’ll collect samples to identify mold species and spore counts.
After the inspection, you get a detailed report. It shows you where mold is growing, what’s causing it, and what needs to happen next. No jargon. No upselling. Just clear information so you can decide how to move forward whether that’s remediation, repairs, or monitoring the situation.
Ready to get started?
Every inspection covers your entire property, not just the room where you saw a stain. We’re looking at basements, bathrooms, kitchens, HVAC systems, and anywhere moisture tends to collect. In Frankford, that often means paying extra attention to older homes with stone foundations or properties near water.
You get moisture mapping to identify problem areas, visual inspection of accessible spaces, and detection of hidden mold using specialized equipment. If needed, air quality testing tells you what’s floating around that you can’t see. Surface sampling can identify specific mold types when that information matters for remediation planning.
The report you receive isn’t a sales pitch. It documents findings with photos, explains moisture sources, and outlines what’s urgent versus what can wait. If you’re buying a home, dealing with a tenant complaint, or filing an insurance claim, you’ll have documentation that actually means something. And if remediation is needed, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Most inspections run between $300 and $600 depending on property size and what’s involved. A small condo inspection costs less than a full home with a basement and attic. If you need lab testing for specific mold species or extensive air quality sampling, that adds to the cost.
We offer free initial inspections to assess the situation. If you decide to move forward with remediation, the inspection cost often gets rolled into the project. That’s standard in the industry and it means you’re not paying twice.
What you’re really paying for is equipment, expertise, and documentation. A proper inspection takes time. Rushing through it means missing things. And missing things means you’ll be dealing with mold again in six months.
You can, but it won’t tell you much. Those kits detect mold spores in the air which exist in basically every home. They can’t tell you if the levels are dangerous, what species you’re dealing with, or where the growth is actually happening.
Professional mold detection uses multiple methods. Visual inspection finds active growth. Moisture meters locate the water source feeding it. Infrared cameras spot hidden problems. Air sampling measures spore concentrations compared to outdoor levels. Surface sampling identifies specific mold types when that matters for health or remediation decisions.
A home kit might confirm that mold exists. It won’t tell you if it’s behind your walls, under your floor, or in your HVAC system. And it definitely won’t tell you how to fix it. If you’re trying to make a real decision about your property, you need real information.
Musty odors are the most common sign. If a room smells off and you can’t figure out why, there’s probably mold somewhere. Visible growth is obvious discoloration on walls, ceilings, or around windows. But plenty of mold grows where you can’t see it.
Water damage is a red flag. If you’ve had leaks, flooding, or persistent condensation, mold is likely growing within 24 to 48 hours. Health symptoms matter too. Unexplained allergies, respiratory issues, or headaches that improve when you leave the house can point to mold exposure.
In Frankford, humidity is a constant issue. Basements stay damp. Older homes trap moisture. If your property fits that description and you’re noticing any of these signs, an inspection answers the question instead of letting you guess. Waiting just gives mold more time to spread.
Most residential inspections take two to four hours depending on property size and accessibility. A small home with no basement might take less. A larger property with multiple levels, a crawl space, and an attic takes longer.
We’re not rushing through it. We’re checking every area where mold typically grows, using equipment to find hidden moisture, and documenting everything. If air quality testing or surface sampling is part of the process, that adds time for proper sample collection.
You’ll get the visual findings and moisture readings the same day. Lab results from air or surface samples usually come back within a few days. The full report with photos, data, and recommendations typically arrives within a week. If something’s urgent, we’ll tell you immediately not after you’ve waited for paperwork.
That’s the point. Visible mold is easy you already know it’s there. The problem is what’s growing behind drywall, under flooring, inside HVAC ducts, or in wall cavities. That’s where professional equipment makes the difference.
Moisture meters detect elevated moisture levels that indicate mold-friendly conditions. Infrared cameras show temperature variations that reveal hidden water intrusion or poor ventilation. We check areas most people never look behind appliances, inside closets against exterior walls, under sinks, around plumbing penetrations.
In Frankford’s older homes, mold often hides in basements with stone foundations or in attics with poor ventilation. We know where to look because we’ve seen it before. If there’s mold growing somewhere in your property, we’ll find it. And if there isn’t, you’ll have documentation proving that.
If the home is older, has a basement, or shows any signs of water damage, yes. A standard home inspection doesn’t include detailed mold testing. Inspectors note visible issues, but they’re not using specialized equipment to find hidden growth.
Mold problems can kill a deal or cost you thousands after closing. If the seller had water damage, finished a basement without proper moisture control, or ignored ventilation issues, you’re inheriting a problem. An inspection before you buy gives you leverage to negotiate repairs or walk away.
In Frankford, where humidity and older construction are common, mold is more likely than in newer, drier areas. Spending a few hundred dollars on an inspection now beats spending thousands on remediation after you own the property. And if the inspection comes back clean, you’re buying with confidence instead of crossing your fingers.
