Get matched with top mold testing and remediation specialists in Canton, MI

Mold inspections cost anywhere from $300 to $1,025, depending on the type of mold, the extent of the area that requires testing, your location, and the accessibility of the affected area. A mold inspection is an important part of the overall process, helping determine the scope of the problem and understanding the best remediation method based on the type of mold discovered.

You can find the smell of mold in your house in two ways: following your nose, and using common sense tactics like looking anywhere there’s water first. Mold cannot form in a completely dry environment, which is why you see mold much more often under kitchen sinks than on garage floors. If you have looked everywhere and still can’t find the source, hire a pro, because you may have mold in your walls.

A mold inspection costs $660 for the average homeowner. This cost can range anywhere from $150 to $2.800, depending on the size of your home, the number and type of samples, and the number of hard-to-reach areas of your home that need testing. 

Places like air ducts, crawl spaces, and wall cavities are particularly inviting for mold spores but require more time from your mold inspection pro. Additionally, swab testing, where a surface sample from an area of your home is collected, generally costs $200 to $300 per area. Air testing, however, is more costly, ranging from $250 to $350, but can cost as much as $700.

Mold tends to affect areas where water or moisture accumulates. This includes bathroom and kitchen walls, exposed foundations, windows and window sills, air conditioning and heating vents, fireplaces and chimneys, wall cavities, enclosed attic spaces, and crawl spaces that are hard to reach.
