Service Overview

Homes in DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia experience frequent humidity changes and seasonal moisture — perfect conditions for mold growth. Without proper detection, mold can thrive behind drywall, beneath flooring, or in attics and crawlspaces.

SureSight Property Consultants provides expert Mold Inspection and Testing services. Our certified inspectors identify active mold, detect hidden moisture, and provide solutions to keep your home safe and healthy. A professional inspection offers early detection of hidden mold growth before it spreads, identification of moisture sources that contribute to future growth, prevention of costly remediation and health issues, and documentation to support real estate transactions or insurance claims.

Common Signs You Need Mold Inspection

  • Visible Mold or Discoloration: Black, green, or white fuzzy patches on walls, ceilings, or baseboards.
  • Musty Odors: Persistent damp or earthy smells even after cleaning.
  • Health Symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, or headaches that worsen indoors.
  • Past Water Damage: Leaks, flooding, or plumbing issues can create ideal mold conditions.
  • Basement or Crawlspace Moisture: Standing water or high humidity often signals hidden growth.

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to schedule a Mold Inspection before the problem escalates.

Mold Testing and Analysis Process

Our Mold Testing process uses advanced technology to accurately identify mold type and concentration levels:

1. Visual Assessment

Inspectors perform a detailed examination of common problem areas — basements, attics, HVAC systems, and bathrooms.

2. Moisture Mapping

Using infrared cameras and moisture meters, we locate hidden leaks and damp materials.

3. Air & Surface Sampling

Samples are collected and analyzed by a certified laboratory to confirm mold presence and species.

4. Lab Report & Recommendations

Within days, you’ll receive a report with test results, affected areas, and remediation guidance based on industry standards (IAC2 & EPA guidelines).

Mold Inspection – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mold inspection, and why is it important? +
A mold inspection is a professional evaluation that identifies visible and hidden mold growth, determines moisture sources, and provides recommendations for remediation and prevention. In humid regions like DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, moisture control is critical — even small leaks or poor ventilation can create ideal conditions for mold growth. Early detection helps protect both your health and your home’s structure.
What are the signs that I might have mold in my home? +
Common indicators include visible patches or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or baseboards; musty or damp odors that persist after cleaning; unexplained allergy or asthma flare-ups indoors; past water leaks, flooding, or plumbing issues; and damp basements, crawlspaces, or attics. If you notice any of these warning signs, a professional inspection can confirm whether mold is present and how extensive it may be.
How is a professional mold inspection performed? +
Our certified inspectors follow a detailed, science-based process: 1. Visual Assessment – Examine common problem areas for visible mold or water damage. 2. Moisture Mapping – Use infrared cameras and moisture meters to locate hidden dampness. 3. Air and Surface Sampling – Collect lab-tested samples to identify mold species and concentration levels. 4. Detailed Report – Provide a comprehensive report with lab results, photos, and actionable remediation recommendations. All testing follows IAC2 and EPA guidelines to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Do I need a mold inspection if I don’t see visible mold? +
Yes. Mold often grows behind drywall, under flooring, or inside HVAC systems, where it isn’t visible. If you experience musty odors, humidity issues, or allergy symptoms indoors, testing can confirm whether hidden mold is present before it spreads or causes costly damage.
What happens if mold is found in my home? +
You’ll receive a detailed lab report identifying the type and concentration of mold, along with a professional action plan for remediation. While SureSight Property Consultants does not perform mold remediation, our reports help you hire qualified contractors and ensure proper removal and prevention steps are followed.
Is mold dangerous to my health? +
Exposure to mold can trigger or worsen respiratory conditions such as asthma, sinus irritation, and allergies. Prolonged exposure may also cause fatigue, headaches, or more severe symptoms for sensitive individuals. Identifying and addressing mold promptly reduces these health risks and improves indoor air quality.
How much does a mold inspection cost? +
Pricing depends on your property’s size and the level of testing required. A Limited Mold Inspection (up to 750 sq. ft.) starts at $649 with a Home Inspection, or $699 standalone. A Complete Mold Inspection (up to 3,000 sq. ft.) starts at $849 with a Home Inspection, or $899 standalone. Additional samples are $45 each, with lab results taking 2–3 business days.
