What's included
What a residential mold inspection actually covers.
A real home inspection is more than a visual walkthrough. We combine licensed protocols, moisture mapping, and laboratory analysis to build a defensible picture of your home.
Initial Consultation & Walkthrough
We start with symptoms, odors, and any history of leaks, then perform a visual inspection of every accessible area.
Air & Surface Sampling
Professional pump-driven spore-trap sampling in multiple rooms, plus tape-lift swabs on any visible growth.
Moisture & Humidity Assessment
Moisture meters and thermal imaging locate hidden leaks behind drywall, under flooring, or around HVAC.
HVAC Inspection
Ductwork, coil pans, and air handlers evaluated for microbial amplification and cross-contamination.
Certified Lab Testing
Samples processed by an accredited third-party lab — species identification, spore counts, and risk context.
Detailed Inspection Report
Photo documentation, lab results, moisture readings, and a prioritized remediation roadmap if needed.
Our Process
A clear, certified workflow — start to finish.
Schedule & Consult
We talk through your concerns — symptoms, visible growth, recent leaks, or a real-estate deadline — and confirm scope.
On-Site Inspection & Sampling
Our CIE-led team performs the assessment using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air & surface sampling to NYS standards.
Report & Roadmap

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Questions we hear most often. Don't see yours? Reach out and we'll answer.
Who needs a residential mold inspection?+
Homeowners protecting family and property value, tenants documenting issues with landlords, landlords and property managers ensuring compliance, real estate buyers and sellers, and co-op or condo boards.
What are signs I might need an inspection?+
Musty or earthy odors, visible mold around windows or baseboards, recent plumbing leaks or flooding, persistent coughs or allergies, condensation on windows, and water stains or warping on walls or floors.
Do you also remove the mold you find?+
We separate assessment from remediation to keep our testing independent. We offer remediation through our HBH team as a separate, transparently scoped engagement — never bundled into the inspection.
How long does a residential inspection take?+
Most single-family inspections take 1–2 hours on site. Lab turnaround is typically 48–72 hours, with the full written report shortly after.
Can you do a pre-purchase mold inspection?+
Yes — we work with buyers, attorneys, and agents regularly across Nassau, Suffolk, the Hamptons, and the five boroughs. Reports are formatted for due diligence and negotiation.
Are you licensed 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.
