Mould needs moisture to grow. When you see spots on drywall, notice a persistent musty smell or know that an area was wet for a while, it is reasonable to wonder whether mould is present and how far it extends. An inspection helps answer those questions and, most importantly, identifies the moisture problem that allowed growth to start.
Our mold inspection and testing service in Richmond Hill combines visual inspection with moisture measurement to locate suspected growth and its cause. Where sampling is appropriate, we can discuss options for collecting samples for laboratory analysis by a third-party lab. Our aim is to give you a clear picture of conditions so that any remediation is properly scoped and the underlying moisture is addressed.
How this service works
Inspection focuses on areas with a history of water damage, poor ventilation or condensation. Moisture meters and thermal imaging help identify conditions that support growth. Sampling can be useful in some situations, though visible growth generally needs to be addressed regardless of species.
