Mold Testing & Inspection
Mold is sneaky and often hard to detect. Testing tells you whether action needs to be taken — and where.

Common questions
Mold Testing & Inspection: the questions we get asked
How do I know if I have a mold problem?
Mold is sneaky and often hard to detect. Visible staining and a musty smell are the obvious signs, but moisture behind finishes shows up long before either. Testing is what tells you whether action needs to be taken, and where. AZHI carries moisture readers and runs testing as part of a mold inspection.
Is mold testing included in a standard home inspection?
No — mold testing is a separate service you can add to any inspection. What every AZHI inspection does include is MoldSafe coverage, which covers remediation of visible mold growth that may occur after the home inspection for 90 days.
