Residential Mold Inspection and Testing
INX Indoor Air Quality
Choosing the right Mold Inspector
Choosing the right Mold Inspector is extremely important. A proper IAQ inspection requires extensive investigation and attention to detail as well as a thorough knowledge of water intrusion issues and mold remediation protocols. For over 2 decades we have tested thousands of homes within the tristate area and because of this extensive experience, it’s rare for us to come across issues we haven’t already seen before.
Potential Mold Issue
In researching your potential mold issue, you may come across different websites selling “Mold Test Kits” that claim to provide you with results from surface samples around your house. These kits are extremely inefficient and the petri dish growth almost always looks exactly the same no matter where the swabs are in contact. We know this because our customers often show us these results upon our arrival. Don’t waste your time and money on DIY mold kits when you can call INX Today!
The Right Mold Inspector
The right mold inspector not only reports a mold issue, they also provide information on why it is there, the source of the problem, what needs to be done to correct it, and the remediation costs. We provide all the answers necessary to make an informed decision to protect your family and property from unwanted indoor air quality dangers.
Attention Home Buyers!
Our mold inspectors are trained
Our mold inspectors are trained to use many techniques and various types of equipment to expose surface growth and detect airborne mold spore contamination. The inspector will also investigate the source of the problem and will check for additional water intrusion issues.
Source of moisture
In most cases the source of moisture comes from a leaky foundation or condensation/moisture from appliances like air conditioners or washing machines. Once the source of moisture is identified and an action plan is put in place to ensure that moisture does not return, remediation can take place.
Mold issues in basements
Mold issues in basements are quite common and can typically be resolved pretty quickly with preventative measures in place to ensure issues don’t return. Call INX today to ensure your issue is handled properly and professionally so that you and your family can Breathe Easy!

While these terms may be confusing, there is a simple way to think about it. Mold removal is essentially all of the steps and procedures involved in eliminating mold from a home. So while mold remediation is an all-encompassing term, mold inspection, mold testing, and mold removal are all essential steps in the mold remediation process.
There are a number of effective ways homeowners can prevent mold from growing in their homes. Mold grows in dark, damp environments like basements and bathrooms, so controlling the level of moisture in your home is your best bet to prevent mold from growing.
Dehumidifiers and moisture meters can go a long way to helping you keep moisture levels low, but in the case of more severe water intrusion, basement waterproofing and roof repairs may be necessary.
If you are really concerned about mold, it could be a good idea to have a mold inspector conduct regular mold inspections in your home to identify potential problem areas and ensure that the proper measures are in place.
