Swab Testing

Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across our West Hollywood service area, with 24/7 emergency response for active leaks, recent water damage, or urgent real estate timelines. Standard scheduling runs 1 to 3 business days depending on availability.

Our certified mold inspectors assess bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, attics, crawl spaces, HVAC components, and any area showing signs of past or current water issues. Thermal imaging and moisture meters identify hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.

West Hollywood's older multi-family residential buildings — the 1920s through 1960s apartment stock that defines much of the city's residential character — carry a specific and compounding set of mold risk factors that single-family properties do not face in the same form. Shared plumbing risers and horizontal distribution lines in these buildings have in many cases been in service for 60 to 100 years, developing slow leaks at joints and connections that deliver sustained moisture to the wall and ceiling cavities shared between multiple units. When a leak occurs in a plumbing chase that runs vertically through a multi-story building, the moisture pathway can affect units on multiple floors before it is identified — and the density of the building stock means that remediation in one unit requires careful assessment of adjacent units to establish the actual extent of mold growth. Bathroom and kitchen moisture in older apartment buildings also tends to propagate through ventilation systems and shared wall assemblies in ways that newer, better-sealed construction does not permit.

Pricing varies based on the size of the property, the scope of testing required, and whether any lab work is included. Most residential mold inspections in West Hollywood fall within the standard industry range of $300 to $600, with a clear quote provided before any work begins.
