Welcome to Mid State Inspection Company! We take pride in the quality of work and customer satisfaction that we give each and every customer! We are known to pay exquisite attention to detail while making customer satisfaction our top priority. Call us today to learn more about how we can help you!

"Save yourself some money and hire a professional in electrical, plumbing, roofing and structure to inspect your property. He failed to highlight the lack of sufficient plumbing vents in the house. Claimed it was up to code when I called the state and asked them about a specifi device that was used, it is not approved by the state. If he would have shown that was an issue in the inspection, I could have negotiated it in the price. Same with the electrical. There were too many outlets, including lights on the same circuit which is a big no no, but I did not get that info in the inspection. He was more worried about the laminate flooring not locking then he was the items that could have hidden costs. $10k and counting to replace the bathroom plumbing, with the kitchen next. Hodge Podge is what you will with this inspection service."

"The company was so helpful throughout the whole process. There was great communication and professionalism presented with the tester. He did a very thorough job. We received the results within the week. They were great about talking to us through all the results and explaining what they meant, and options for resolve. My favorite part was that they were not there to sell us anything. They talked us through what we could do ourselves or what companies to call and even directed us to those services. I am absolutely impressed with the services we got."

I'm a local Certified Residential Mold Inspector (certification can be found at www.acac.org). I've conducted over 4000 inspections since 2005. I conduct mold testing that lets you know if you have mold (what kind and how much) and write easy to read reports that let you know what should be done to remove it. You can use this report to remove the mold yourself, or to get consistent bids from mold removal contractors. I also conduct air quality testing (clearance testing) after mold removal to confirm that cleaning efforts were successful. As I do not remove mold, I offer independent assessments with no conflict of interest.

"Highly recommended! I've referred clients to Vickie multiple times with various issues, be it in basement, attic, walls, etc. Each time it's good experience and quick results. She takes time to give you as much detail as you want about air and site testing. And she is not a mold cleaning company, so she isn't going to sell you any other services...no conflict of interest. As for price...it costs money to do the testing and have it professionally analyzed by a laboratory. But when you need to KNOW if you have a problem, she's automatic."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Both wood-burning stoves and fireplaces can emit smoke and other combustion gases that are harmful to human health. According to the American Lung Association, wood smoke can lead to coughing and wheezing as well as long-term health impacts like increased risks for heart attacks and stroke. 

Newer models meet the modern efficiency standards set in 2020 by the Environmental Protection Agency for cleaner burning, more efficient wood stoves. Regular maintenance can also minimize smoke.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.

A DIY kit can lessen the sting that comes with paying for a professional assessment, but these comprehensive tests are true lifesavers. Inspectors are more likely to catch all of the pollutants and hazards in your air. Plus, you’ll still need a professional to verify and act on your DIY test results. 

Some kits don’t include tests for certain air pollutants or only detect their presence, but not their levels (i.e., mold spores). If you’re willing to shell out money for a DIY kit, it’s usually better to stretch your budget slightly higher for a more detailed assessment.

Yes, if installed correctly. Moisture barrier padding blocks dampness from reaching the padding core and subfloor, where mold loves to grow, especially in humid environments like basements. However, poor installation with gaps or loose seams can do the exact opposite, trapping moisture and creating mold problems. So, make sure to do your installation carefully or hire a professional.

Areas of your home may provide an ideal environment for green or black mold. Most molds love moisture and will thrive in wet or damp areas. Some types of mold, such as Stachybotrys chartarum, grow well on materials commonly used in homes, such as gypsum board and wood. Mold may also grow in areas where there are leaks, such as in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements.
