How to prepare for a mold inspection
A few simple steps help us get accurate results.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to attic hatches, crawl space entries, the water heater, and the HVAC unit
- Don't clean or paint over suspect areas — we need to see them
- Avoid running air purifiers or ozone machines for a day before air sampling
- Keep windows and doors closed as much as practical before air sampling
- Gather any history: leak dates, repairs, previous reports
During the inspection
It helps if you're available to walk us through what you've noticed. Pets should be secured.
