Mold–testing add-on services.
Make sure your air is clean and your property is mold free.
When it comes to producing mold, a little bit of water damage can go a long way. Mold can grow anytime moisture is present. It’s a potential health concern and can cause red eyes, runny nose, sore throat and more.
During our mold add-on inspection there are two types of mold tests we can perform, a swab test and air test. The swab test checks a specific location where suspicious staining is found to determine if what is present is mold and if it is, what kind. The air test uses a sampling cartridge and pump to see what is floating in the air. We take indoor and outdoor samples that the lab compares to determine if elevated levels are present including mold spores, pollen, insect parts, skin cells, fibers and inorganic particulates. Our mold inspection professionals will gather samples, send them to a certified lab, and get you the results within three business days. If the lab determines there are elevated levels present, we will recommend remediation.
Don’t let mold make you or your loved ones sick or damage your real estate investment—add a mold-testing inspection to your services.

How we find issues others might miss.
Our professional home and commercial inspectors have performed many mold inspections and can find the obvious — and not so obvious — signs of mold. Should it be necessary, our advanced technology for mold inspection includes:
- Mold Testing Pumps
- Drain & Duct Camera Systems
- Thermal Imagers
- Moisture Meters
Frequent issues we find.
Every property is different, but after 6,000 inspections we’ve seen that these are the most common mold issues in the Tulsa area.
Suspicious Staining
Mold growth most commonly looks like velvety, dark, blotchy patches but can come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes.
Water Leaks or Damage
Any unresolved moisture issues over a long period of time will likely lead to mold growth. It’s important to address moisture problems promptly.
Deterioration or Warping
Water deteriorates some building materials and can evaporate at different speeds, causing warping.
