MOLD & AIR TESTING

When to get mold or air quality tested.

Trusted. Thorough. Reliable.

Air quality and testing of mold is an important part of understanding the environment of your home. Mold can effect everyone in different ways. Dark damp areas are what is needed for mold to thrive. Houses have many areas that create this environment. Controlling the moisture in the house will help with mold growth. Some areas are more prone to growth such as bathrooms, crawlspaces, attics and more.

Reasons for getting the air sampling or mold testing If you have health concerns, young children/infant or older adults or simply want peace of mind schedule an air quality test. If you have any unknown reason for allergies, coughing, sneezing, trouble breathing, Irritated eyes etc.

We can test any visible mold or do air sampling. These inspections are non invasive testing.Meaning we don’t put holes in walls or tear into any area of the house.

Below are some examples of common Molds found in homes.

Review by Ashley Turner: My client used Key Inspection Services this week and it was a really great experience. The inspector was great at communicating with my buyer different details of the home and was answering many questions. The report is very easy to read and gave all the pertinent information we needed. Thank you!
