Mold needs three things: moisture, organic material, and time. Find one without the others, and you don't have a problem. Find all three, and you have one of the most expensive remediation jobs in residential construction.
Our mold inspection combines a thorough visual exam, FLIR thermal imaging to spot hidden moisture, and laboratory air or surface sampling when warranted. You get a clear report identifying the type, source, and severity — and a remediation plan if needed.
What's included
- Visual inspection of all accessible areas
- FLIR thermal imaging for hidden moisture
- Air sampling (indoor + outdoor baseline)
- Surface tape-lift sampling on suspect growth
- Accredited lab analysis (3–5 day turnaround)
- Clear remediation recommendations
Common questions about mold inspection
Is mold inspection worth the cost?
For most Mankato-area buyers, yes. The cost is small relative to what a missed issue could cost after closing.
How long does mold inspection take?
Varies by scope — most service-specific add-ons take 20–60 minutes on top of the home inspection. We bundle them into one visit.
Do you bundle mold inspection with a home inspection?
Yes — bundling saves $50–$100 vs. booking separately and means one report and one bill.
Where do you offer this service?
Mankato and a 50+ mile radius across Southern Minnesota — see our service area page for a full list of cities.
How fast do I get the report?
Same day for most inspections. Always within 24 hours.
