We’ve been serving West Chester and Chester County homeowners for years with professional mold testing services. Our certified inspectors use state-of-the-art equipment to find mold others miss.
We only do testing and inspection—never remediation. That means you get unbiased results without any pressure to buy additional services. Our PA state-licensed inspectors have performed thousands of inspections throughout the Delaware Valley.
West Chester’s older homes and humid climate create perfect conditions for mold growth, especially in basements and crawl spaces. We know exactly where to look and how to test properly to give you accurate, actionable results.
We start with a complete visual inspection of your property, checking obvious areas and hidden spaces where mold typically grows. Our inspectors examine basements, attics, crawl spaces, and areas around plumbing and HVAC systems.
Next, we take strategic air and surface samples based on what we find during the inspection. We use professional-grade equipment to collect samples that get sent to an independent laboratory for analysis. No guesswork—just scientific results.
Within a few days, you receive a detailed report showing exactly what types of mold were found, their concentration levels, and specific recommendations for next steps. The report is written in plain language so you understand exactly what you’re dealing with and what your options are.

Our mold testing service includes comprehensive visual inspection, moisture detection with thermal imaging, air quality sampling, and surface testing of suspect areas. You get a complete picture of any mold issues in your West Chester home.
We use advanced moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify problem areas that might not be visible yet. Chester County’s climate and seasonal moisture changes mean mold can develop behind walls, under flooring, or in HVAC systems where you can’t see it.
Each test is customized to your specific property and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with water damage, buying a home, or just want peace of mind about that musty smell, we design the testing protocol to give you the answers you need. All samples are analyzed by independent laboratories, and you receive detailed results with clear explanations of what they mean for your home and family.
Mold testing costs typically start around $350 in the West Chester area, but the exact price depends on the size of your home, number of samples needed, and complexity of the inspection. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
The cost includes the visual inspection, sample collection, laboratory analysis, and detailed report with recommendations. Many homeowners find that professional testing saves money in the long run by identifying problems early before they become major remediation projects.

The most common sign is a persistent musty or earthy odor, especially in basements, bathrooms, or areas that have experienced water damage. You might also notice discolored spots on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, or unexplained allergy symptoms when you’re at home.
Water stains, condensation problems, or recent flooding are clear indicators that mold testing is needed. Even if you don’t see visible mold, moisture problems in West Chester’s humid climate often lead to hidden mold growth behind walls or in HVAC systems.
If you’re experiencing respiratory symptoms, eye irritation, or other health issues that seem worse at home, mold exposure could be the cause. Professional testing can identify airborne mold spores that aren’t visible but may be affecting your family’s health.
The on-site inspection and sample collection typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the number of areas we need to test. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Laboratory analysis takes 3-5 business days, and you’ll receive your detailed report with results and recommendations shortly after. If you have an urgent situation, we can arrange expedited testing for faster results.
The timeline can vary if we need to test multiple areas or if moisture readings indicate we should wait for certain conditions. We’ll explain the timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout the process so you know exactly when to expect your results.
While DIY mold test kits are available, they often provide incomplete or misleading results. Professional testing uses calibrated equipment, proper sampling techniques, and accredited laboratories that DIY kits can’t match.
Professional inspectors know where mold typically hides in West Chester homes and how to collect samples that accurately represent the air quality and contamination levels. We can also identify moisture sources and conditions that lead to mold growth, which DIY tests can’t do.
The cost difference between DIY testing and professional inspection is minimal when you consider the accuracy and actionable information you receive. Professional testing gives you confidence in the results and clear guidance on next steps, whether that’s simple cleaning or professional remediation.
If our testing confirms mold presence, you’ll receive a detailed report identifying the types of mold found, concentration levels, and specific recommendations for addressing the problem. The report includes both immediate actions and long-term prevention strategies.
For minor mold issues, the report may include guidance on cleaning procedures you can handle yourself. For more significant contamination, we’ll recommend certified mold remediation specialists and can help you understand the scope of work needed.
Since we only do testing and inspection, you’re free to choose any remediation company you prefer. We can provide referrals to trusted professionals in the West Chester area, but there’s no pressure to use any specific company. Our job is to give you accurate information so you can make the best decision for your situation.
Yes, our laboratory analysis identifies specific mold species, including Stachybotrys chartarum (commonly called “black mold”) and other potentially harmful varieties. The lab report shows exactly which types of mold are present and their concentration levels.
Different mold species have different health implications and require different approaches for removal. Some molds are relatively harmless while others can cause serious respiratory problems or other health issues. Professional testing identifies the specific risks in your home.
The lab analysis also helps determine the most effective remediation approach if treatment is needed. Knowing the exact mold species present allows remediation specialists to use the most appropriate techniques and safety precautions for your specific situation.
