Not a glamorous biz (nor review): just letting you know my experience.
Tenants expressed "concern" about mold in the basement, then worried about the rest of the apartment. As landlords, ya gotta do whatcha gotta do. We wanted an unbiased inspection (i.e., not one carried out by a remediator: "You gotcherself a hellmouth there!")
Inspector was super-professional and, as we say locally, wicked smaht. I mean, this guy knew his molds! (Good thing I like science-y stuff.) Very thorough, talked us through the whole inspection--moisture meters, infrared camera, other ghostbustery stuff--took multiple photos, gave helpful (like, actually) tips about things we could enhance to prevent water intrusion and reduce the chances of mold reoccurrence--we ended up implementing *all* suggestions. We did 2x air tests and 1x surface (we probably could have gotten away with just 1 air test, which was included in the price; extras are... extra).
Inspection report, too, was thorough. Reiterated what the inspector had said and accompanied with pics and charts and like that.
Cost was reasonable; cost of extras was a surprise--but, in the grand scheme, understandable. If you find yourself in need of this sort of inspection, consider Mold Spotters. I, for one, was quite satisfied. read more
