Swab Testing

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

In Livonia's postwar ranch and split-level homes, the most frequent mold findings involve three areas: basements where original block or poured concrete walls have developed seepage pathways after decades of groundwater exposure; attic spaces where inadequate ventilation relative to modern insulation levels has created chronic condensation on the underside of roof sheathing; and areas adjacent to original cast iron plumbing where slow pinhole leaks have fed moisture into wall and subfloor assemblies for years without detection. The low-slope rooflines common on ranch architecture also accumulate ice dams more readily than steeper pitched roofs, making attic moisture a particularly consistent finding in this housing type during and after Michigan winters.

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