How much does a mold inspection cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on the size of the property and how many samples it needs, so we quote every job individually. The quote is free, and if another company has given you a quote for mold inspection or air quality testing, we will match it or beat it. Call (310) 686-9228 or send the form on this page.
I can already see mold. Do I still need testing?
Testing tells you things you cannot see: what type of mold it is, whether spores have spread into the air in other rooms, and how far the problem goes. The lab report also gives you documentation for a landlord, an insurance claim, or a remediation company.
What is the difference between air sampling and surface sampling?
Air sampling captures the spores floating in a room and compares them with the air outside your building. Surface sampling uses a swab or a tape lift on a specific spot to identify what is growing there. Most inspections use both.
What is ERMI testing?
ERMI stands for Environmental Relative Moldiness Index. It is a DNA-based lab analysis of settled dust that screens for 36 mold species. Because dust builds up over time, it can point to a mold history that a single air sample might miss.
I rent my place. Can I have it tested?
Yes. We test apartments, condos, and rental houses. You get a written report with lab results for your unit, which is useful when you need the problem documented.
What happens if you find mold?
Your report explains what was found and where, and lays out the recommended next steps. If the property needs remediation we can refer you to professionals we trust, and once the work is done we can retest to verify that it worked.
What does air quality testing check for?
Air samples are analyzed by a certified lab for contaminants such as mold spores, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and particulate matter. We also assess the property for likely sources and measure humidity and temperature.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the Los Angeles area, including the Westside, the beach cities, the South Bay, Central LA, and the San Fernando Valley. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask.
