Separate from the inspection
A home inspection is visual. These services sample or measure one specific thing.
01 / Beyond the walk-through
You can't see radon. You can't see what's in the water. You test for them.
Our environmental testing covers four things: mold and indoor air quality, radon, water quality and asbestos. Each one is a separate service from the home inspection, because each one samples or measures something a visual inspection can't.
Mold and air-quality results typically return within 48 hours after sampling, subject to lab processing and weekends. Samples collected Thursday or Friday normally return Monday. Radon testing runs for 48 hours, with results typically available about 52 hours after setup. Water quality and asbestos results typically arrive about two days after sampling.

Find the right test
Start with what you're worried about. Each page explains what the test is for and how it works.
Mold and Air Quality
A musty smell, a past leak, or air you want checked. Indoor air quality testing lives here too.
Radon Testing
A radioactive gas you can't see or smell. Testing is the only way to know the level in a house.
Water Quality Testing
A water quality test at the tap, analyzed by EMSL Analytical.
Asbestos Testing
Older building materials, especially before a remodel disturbs them.

Before you book
The questions people ask us most about testing. Anything else, just call.
Which test do I need?
Start with what you're worried about. A musty smell or a past leak points to mold and air quality testing. Radon applies to any home, because you can't see or smell it. Water quality testing tells you what's coming out of the tap. Asbestos matters most in older homes, especially before a remodel. Call and we'll talk it through.
Are these part of a standard home inspection?
No. A home inspection is a visual inspection of the house. Environmental tests are separate services that sample or measure something specific.
Is indoor air quality testing a separate service?
No. Indoor air quality testing is part of our mold and air quality testing service, explained on that page.
Do you fix what the tests find?
For mold and radon, no. We test, and a licensed remediation or mitigation company does the fix. That independence is the point: we have nothing to sell you based on the result.
How long do results take?
Mold and air-quality results typically return within 48 hours after sampling, subject to lab processing and weekends. Samples collected Thursday or Friday normally return Monday. Radon testing runs for 48 hours, with results typically available about 52 hours after setup. Water quality and asbestos results typically arrive about two days after sampling.
