Swab Testing

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

Novi's newer homes face mold risks that are different in origin from older properties but equally real in consequence. Builder-grade waterproofing membranes applied to foundation walls during the 1990s and 2000s construction boom have a typical service life of 20 to 30 years — many of which have now elapsed. As these membranes degrade, basement moisture intrusion increases gradually, often going unnoticed until mold is well established. Separately, the tightly sealed building envelopes common in energy-efficient construction from this era trap interior moisture when ventilation systems are undersized or poorly maintained, driving HVAC-related mold in attics and wall cavities. Novi's proximity to wetland corridors and retention ponds throughout its subdivisions adds a persistent groundwater pressure element that compounds both issues.

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