What's included
What a Long Island mold inspection actually covers.
A real mold inspection is more than a visual walkthrough. We combine licensed protocols, moisture mapping, and laboratory analysis to build a defensible picture of your indoor environment.
Visual & Moisture Inspection
Room-by-room assessment with thermal imaging and moisture meters to locate active wet zones.
Air Sampling
Spore-trap cassettes drawn from affected and reference areas, compared against outdoor controls.
Surface & Bulk Sampling
Tape-lift and bulk swab samples to confirm and speciate visible growth.
HVAC Inspection
Ductwork, coil pans, and air handlers assessed for amplification sites and microbial colonization.
Lab Analysis
Samples processed by an accredited environmental microbiology laboratory.
Written Assessment Report
Findings, photo documentation, lab data, and a prioritized remediation protocol.
Our Process
A clear, certified workflow — start to finish.
Client Consultation
We start with a quick call, text, or email to understand your concerns — health symptoms, visible growth, a recent leak, or a real-estate transaction deadline.
On-Site Assessment & Sampling
Our CIE-led team performs a thorough on-site inspection using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air & surface sampling collected to NYS standards.
Detailed Report & Roadmap
You receive a comprehensive written report with lab results, photo documentation, and a clear, scope-defined remediation plan.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Questions we hear most often. Don't see yours? Reach out and we'll answer.
How much does a mold inspection cost on Long Island?+
Pricing depends on property size and the number of samples needed. Most single-family residential inspections fall within a predictable range — we provide a flat-rate quote upfront after a short call. No surprise add-ons.
Do I need a mold inspection if I can't see mold?+
Often, yes. The majority of problem mold growth on Long Island is hidden behind walls, in crawl spaces, in HVAC systems, or under flooring. Unexplained musty odors, allergy-like symptoms, or a history of water intrusion are all valid reasons to test.
How long does a mold inspection take?+
Most residential inspections take 1–2 hours on site. Lab turnaround for samples is typically 3–5 business days; you receive your full written report shortly after.
Can you do a pre-purchase mold inspection?+
Yes — we work with buyers, attorneys, and real-estate agents regularly across Nassau, Suffolk, and the Hamptons. Reports are formatted for use in due diligence and negotiations.
Are you licensed to do mold testing in New York?+
Yes. We are Licensed New York State Mold Assessors with a Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) on staff — one of only a handful of firms in the region with that credential.
Do you also remove the mold you find?+
We separate assessment from remediation to keep our testing independent. We offer remediation through our HB&H team as a separate, transparently scoped engagement — never bundled into the inspection.
