Mid-Missouri’s Professional Mold Testing from a certified InterNACHI Inspector.

Mold Testing and Your Health

Mold testing is an important step in determining the overall health and safety of a home. Mold can cause health issues such as allergies, respiratory problems, and even neurological issues if left untreated. It is often found in damp or humid areas, such as basements and bathrooms, and can be caused by water leaks or high humidity levels.

What Happens During a Mold Testing Inspection?

Mold is a serious issue that can cause a variety of health problems and can also cause damage to your property, making it essential to identify and remove it as soon as possible. That’s why at ARC Home Inspection, we offer comprehensive mold testing services to ensure the safety and well-being of you and your family.

During a mold inspection, our certified professionals use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to identify mold growth in your home. We take samples from various areas of your home, including walls, ceilings, floors, and air ducts, to determine the presence of mold. After collecting samples, we send them to a laboratory for analysis, and we provide you with a detailed report of our findings.

If mold is detected, we provide recommendations for remediation and can even refer you to a professional mold remediation company. Our team will then return to your home to conduct a final inspection to ensure that all mold has been removed and that your home is safe to live in.
