Swab Testing

Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across our Berkley 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.

Berkley's compact lot sizes and minimal setbacks between homes create a built environment where natural drainage between properties is limited and airflow around building foundations is restricted. Rain and snowmelt that would drain away from a foundation on a larger lot instead pools along property lines and saturates the soil adjacent to foundation walls in Berkley's tightly spaced neighborhood grid. The continuous tree canopy throughout the city compounds this by reducing the sun exposure that would otherwise dry out these saturated areas. The result is that basement wall moisture in Berkley homes is often a function of the overall neighborhood drainage environment, not just the individual property's waterproofing — which makes periodic inspection important regardless of whether any specific water event has occurred.

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 Berkley fall within the standard industry range of $300 to $600, with a clear quote provided before any work begins.
