Lab-certified mold and air quality testing through our partnership with Hayes Microbial Consulting. Know what's in the air before you buy.
Mold is not visible during a standard home inspection. It hides inside walls, above ceiling tiles, beneath flooring, in attics, and inside crawlspaces — completely out of sight. By the time mold is visible, the problem has often been growing for months or years.
Xpert Home Inspector is partnered with Hayes Microbial Consulting to provide professional air quality and fungal growth testing. We collect air and surface samples that are sent to a certified lab, and you receive a full written analysis of what's present in the home's air — including dangerous mycotoxins.
Whether you're buying, selling, or simply want peace of mind — this test protects your family's health and your financial investment.
Mold and air quality testing includes all sample collection, lab submission, and a full written report with results. This is the only way to truly know what's in the air of a home you're considering buying.
Any of these conditions significantly increase the likelihood of hidden mold growth. If you're buying a home with any of these characteristics, mold testing is strongly recommended.
Mold produces mycotoxins — toxic compounds that can cause serious health problems including respiratory issues, neurological symptoms, chronic fatigue, and immune system suppression. Children and elderly individuals are especially vulnerable.
Standard air fresheners, paint, and cleaning products do not eliminate mold. Professional testing identifies exactly what's present — so you can take the right action before you move your family in.
Xpert's partnership with Hayes Microbial Consulting means your results are analyzed by specialists, not a general lab. You get expert-level interpretation of every finding.
Visible mold is only a fraction of what may be present. Mold commonly grows inside walls, under flooring, and in attic spaces where it's completely invisible. Air quality testing captures airborne spores that no visual inspection can detect.
Lab results are typically returned within a few business days. Tara will keep you updated on timing and make sure you have your results before your inspection contingency deadline.
Finding mold gives you options — negotiate remediation costs, request a price reduction, or walk away from the deal. Without testing, you inherit the problem unknowingly. Knowledge is always the better position.
Our testing covers both — air samples detect airborne mold spores and contaminants, while the bio-tape sample identifies surface fungal growth. Together they give you a complete picture of the home's air quality.
Yes. Many dangerous mold species grow without producing a noticeable odor. The absence of a musty smell does not mean the absence of mold. Testing is the only reliable way to know.
