A bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom with mold on a wall or ceiling, plus the moisture source fixed.
Larger areas that need more containment and drying. Common here after spring rain or a slow leak.

On the job
Mold remediation work in Del Mar homes
What a professional mold inspection entails
A mold inspection is a systematic evaluation of a property for visible growth, moisture sources, and conditions conducive to future problems.
It involves tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging, along with a checklist of high-risk zones, not just a visual check. Pricing is confirmed when you call.
For independent guidance on mold, moisture, and safe cleanup, see EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home and CDPHE: California Department of Public Health & Environment.
- Visual assessment of basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms and attics
- Moisture meter readings across walls, floors and ceilings
- Thermal imaging where readings suggest moisture behind a surface
- Documented findings with photos, notes and a written scope
When to consider a mold inspection
Visible mold is not required. Common reasons include musty odors, recent water incidents, or real estate transactions where clarity is needed.
Inspections are also prudent after repairs from plumbing or roof leaks to ensure no hidden issues remain.
- Musty odor without a visible source
- Recent water damage, a leak, or a history of flooding
- Before finishing a basement or crawl space
- Real estate transactions where mold history is a concern

Crawl spaces, especially those with radon mitigation systems, are examined for trapped moisture, and humidifier systems and ductwork are checked for condensation issues.
