When should I get a mold air test done?

Mold air testing and mold inspection aren’t always necessary, but there are certain signs that indicate you should get them done. Here’s how to tell:

Signs You Need a Mold Inspection & Testing

1. Visible Mold Growth – If you see mold spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, you should get an inspection to determine the extent of the issue.

2. Musty Odor – A persistent musty or earthy smell, especially in damp areas like basements or bathrooms, can indicate hidden mold growth.

3. Water Damage or Leaks – If your home has had recent leaks, flooding, or high humidity issues, mold could be growing behind walls, under floors, or in HVAC systems.

4. Unexplained Health Issues – Frequent allergy symptoms, respiratory problems, or worsening asthma when inside the home can be caused by airborne mold spores.

5. Discoloration or Stains – Yellow, brown, or black stains on walls or ceilings, especially near water sources, may indicate hidden mold growth.

6. High Humidity Levels – If your home has humidity above 60% consistently, it creates an ideal environment for mold.

7. Buying or Selling a Home – If you suspect past water damage or want peace of mind before a purchase, a mold inspection can help prevent costly surprises.

8. Recent Mold Remediation – If mold was removed from your home, testing can confirm whether the remediation was successful and that spores are not still present in the air.

If any of these signs apply to your situation, getting professional mold testing and inspection can help you identify and address potential problems before they worsen
