Thermal Imaging

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

The most consistent mold findings in Southfield's mid-century housing stock involve basement wall seepage, attic mold from ice dam damage, and mold behind drywall that was installed over original block or concrete basement walls without a proper moisture break. Many of these homes were finished or remodeled in the 1970s and 1980s using construction methods that trapped moisture between the original exterior wall assembly and the new interior finish — a condition that produces persistent mold colonies that are not visible until the wall is opened. Aging cast iron plumbing in these properties is also a slow-leak risk that contributes to under-floor and within-wall moisture accumulation over time.

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